The Back of the Painting, Secrets and Stories from Art Conservation
Painting conservators are the forensic pathologists of the art world. While they cannot bring their subjects back to life, they do provide fascinating insights into the precise circumstances of a painting’s creation, its material authenticity, and constructive methodology. Linda Waters, Sarah Hillary, and Jenny Sherman are three such art detectives. They have explored in great detail both the backs and the backgrounds of thirty-three paintings now held in the collections of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
