Shattered in Shipment: Saving a Work from Broken Glass

Shattered in Shipment: Saving a Work from Broken Glass

At The Conservation Center, we are acutely aware that accidents happen, so that is why we offer our services at EXPO Chicago every year.  Our team of art handlers and conservators prepare annually to assist in every way possible as hundreds of pieces of art are installed in Navy Pier over two short days.  This year we assisted with a piece that suffered damage from international shipment.  Somewhere along the way, the glass shattered and the paper piece underneath was in need of a quick rescue.
