Digital Mural Restoration
I found this mention of the conservation of these Renaissance murals at the Brömserhof Museum in Ruedesheim, Germany, just fascinating. It seems such a practical idea to use the scanning of original photos of these murals with some Photoshop or Illustrator technology (looks like) to enable the necessary steps to replication and repair. Kudos! It makes perfect sense to use digital technology for mural restoration. What a fabulous restoration project to be working on… Another inspirational mural mention that I discovered this week, is Corinne Ulman’s golden leaf mural, on the Griffin Court Condominium, at 800 10th Avenue on the corner of West 53rd Street, Manhattan. It is just gorgeous.…
Rockefeller Center
The Art Deco murals at Rockefeller Center in New York are being restored. The conservators are working so quietly behind the scenes that if they sneeze they may spook someone. It’s pretty incredible the before and after, once all the yellowed varnish and grime has been removed.
