Book excerpt: "Metropolitan Museum Studies in Art, Science, and Technology is devoted to exploration of the reciprocal relationship between physical nature and aesthetics in the visual arts. Each volume will publish new, collaborative scholarship by curators, conservators, and scientists engaged in the study of artists' materials, their aging properties, and the techniques and technologies used in the manufacturing of works of art. This inaugural volumes includes a history of early objects conservation practices in The Metropolitan Museum of Art; an analysis of the polychrome decoration on four French Romanesque sculptures; a report on the discovery of both lapis lazuli and azurite used as pigments in ancient Egypt; an evaluation of a group of paintings by Paolo Veronese; a compositional study if medieval Islamic enameled glass; and two related investigations into the casting methods and materials of early Chinese bronze Buddhist sculpture. Collectively, these studies give emphasis to the invaluable role of technical findings in establishing authenticity and attribution, and demonstrate how technological style is fundamental to visual expression. The articles are generously illustrated with color reproductions, including numerous details, as well as X-ray radiographs, photo- and SEM micrographs, and previously unpublished archival photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the perception that artworks are timeless and unchanging, they are actually subject to biological attack from a variety of sources--from bacteria to fungi to insects. This groundbreaking volume, which publishes the proceedings of a conference held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2002, explores how the development of these organisms can be arrested while preserving both the work of art and the health of the conservator.The richly illustrated text, containing the writings of over 40 scientists and conservators, is divided into sections on stone and mural paintings, paper, textiles, wood and archaeological materials, treatment and prevention, and special topics. The artworks and cultural properties discussed include, among many others, Paleolithic cave paintings, Tiffany drawings, huts built by early Antarctic explorers, and a collection of toothbrushes taken from Auschwitz victims.

This book was released on 1914-01-14 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winifred E. Howe's 1913 account of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's history, its founders, and trustees communicates the remarkable circumstances that led to the Museum's transformation into one of the most prestigious art museums in the world. The history begins with an account of the earliest art institutions of New York City (such as the Tammany Society and the New York Academy of Fine Arts) and goes on to describe the Museum's period of organization following the end of the Civil War. Howe details the movement of the Museum from its original downtown building to its current location in Central Park, the museum building's construction and subsequent additions, the organization of the museum's administration, and the continued expansion of the museum through the presidency of J. Pierpont Morgan.
