> DESCRIPTION

This will be a unique exhibition and dialogue addressing the secondary art market as an alternate to the traditional fine auction houses. Fine Art Rescue will educate the viewer about the secondary fine art market through the presentation of conservation techniques utilized to preserve and protect works of art. 

This exhibition will address the art of cultural preservation and expose the viewer to the importance and complexities of fine art salvage and the conservation process considered for the disposition of distressed objects. 

This exhibit is designed to educate the viewer on the processes of fine art conservation, the secondary art market versus the more traditional auction process of art acquisition. 

A panel discussion will be organized, during the exhibition period, to include experts from the fields of conservation, fine art and insurance. 

 

Friday, December 5
Opening Reception is 6pm - 9pm
