This original WWI Liberty Bond poster sat rolled in water for three weeks, resulting in disfiguring water damage including severe discoloration, delamination from the mount and wrinkling throughout. The tears were mended and then the sheet was relined.  Minor retouching was undertaken to further integrate pervasic staining.  When works on paper, prints, drawings, lithographs, etchings, etc are damaged from a water or fire loss; it is important to consult a conservator.  Works on paper are more resilient than most would think.

This mixed media maquette made by Roger Brown in 1992 in preparation for a lobby sculpture for Playboy. Roger Brown (1941-1997), was an American painter, and associated with the Chicago Imagists movement. The mount and vitrine were designed to provide a minimal backdrop for the bold maquette. A streamlined, custom white mount with internal armature were fabricated to secure the piece.  A UV filtering acrylic vitrine was fabricated to protect the sculpture from exposure dust and ultra-violet rays while allowing for display.
