Abstract(s)
A reintegração cromática de obras de arte contemporânea apresenta inúmeros desafios, resultado do uso de novas técnicas e materiais, muitos dos quais não são pensados para o uso artístico, ou de novos conceitos e ideias, que levantam questões específicas perante os próprios paradigmas e necessidades da conservação. No caso das obras de acabamento pictórico mate, as superfícies tornam-se mais suscetíveis a danos e a presença de áreas de cores e texturas homogéneas e uniformes incrementam a dificuldade na obtenção de um resultado satisfatório, baseado em critérios teóricos e ética profissional, com o objetivo de manter a unidade formal, material e conceitual da obra. Deste modo, objetiva-se a delimitação dos principais problemas de leitura encontrados nas obras contemporâneas através da identificação dos principais desafios para os pelos conservadores-restauradores durante o tratamento de reintegração cromática desta tipologia de obras e da análise dos materiais normalmente utilizados, e que, após testagem, possibilitam encontrar soluções possíveis e mais promissoras. Para tal, parte-se da pesquisa bibliográfica e de um inquérito destinado à comunidade profissional, através dos quais são selecionados seis aglutinantes com base no critério da reversibilidade, avaliados e testados através de leituras espectrofotométricas, envelhecimento acelerado e solubilidade. Através do cruzamento da informação obtida nas várias fases de investigação, é testada sua aplicabilidade e eficácia nos tratamentos de reintegração cromática de duas obras de arte contemporânea representativas da problemática estudada.
Inpainting contemporary artworks is a task that presents many challenges, which are results from the utilization of new techniques and materials by the artist, many not meant for an artistic use, or of new concepts and ideas, raising specific questions regarding the paradigms and the needs of conservation itself. When dealing with artworks with a matt finish, the surfaces are more susceptible to damages and the presence of homogenous, uniform texture and colour fields ensue an increased hardship obtaining a satisfactory result, based in theoretical criteria and professional ethics, aiming towards maintaining the formal, material, and conceptual unity of the artwork. Thus, it’s intended to circumscribe the main legibility issues present in contemporary artworks through the identification of the main challenges faced by conservators while inpainting this kind of work and the analysis of materials normally used that, after testing, allow promising, possible solutions. To achieve this, the thesis is based on bibliographical research and a questionnaire sent to the professional community, through which six binders were chosen based on the reversibility criteria and were evaluated and tested through spectrophotometric readings, accelerated aging and solubility tests. Through cross-referencing the information obtained on the different stages of the research, the applicability and efficiency of the materials are tested on the inpainting treatment for two contemporary artworks representative of the issues under study.
