Conservation of East Asian scroll paintings is an ancient art, which requires specialized skills and a particular type of expertise. In this lecture, Qian He will introduce this art form by sharing his experiences treating numerous Chinese and Japanese paintings in both museums and private collections. Using specific examples, He will help us gain a better understanding of the unique Chinese restoration techniques of cleaning, repairing, and remounting.
