These concerned the varnishing and wax lining of paintings with matte surfaces and the wholesale repainting of damaged colour field paintings, thereby instigating a paradigm shift in the approach to the treatment of contemporary art in the last decades of the twentieth century. More conservators became sensitive to the optical qualities of surfaces and the artist’s original intent (see also Dykstra, 1996). The treatment of contemporary art has become recognized as a sophisticated speciality that must be grounded in the triangular relationship connecting the artist’s original intent, the work itself, and the observer. Conservation professionals should have the widest possible range of methods, approaches, and strategies to assist in the articulation of these relationships.

Since then, a range of interdisciplinary and collaborative projects for the conservation of contemporary art followed in the Netherlands. This article discusses the growing importance of documenting the artist's intent and the role of museum staff as performer in the execution and conservation of the works.

At Laboratorio San Gregorio, where the initial holography took place, G. Musumeci and K. Hempel suggested an experiment to determine whether the concentrated beam from the ruby holographic laser could ablate black-patina crusts from decaying marble. Initial success of a laser-divestment test on a Palazzo Ducale capital launched a search for funding to enable a full-scale laser ...
