Our November general membership meeting will be held in the Half-moon (Court) Inn, 105 Court Street, Newtown, on Monday, November 18, 2024, starting at 7:30 p.m. Local art gallery owner and conservationist Paul Gratz will deliver a presentation on
“Painting Conservation Techniques and Materials.”
Mr. Gratz’s presentation on art conservation will explain how the combination of modern techniques with Old World craftsmanship offers the finest in treatment for oil paintings, murals, and gilt objects. Truly skilled art conservation preserves as much as possible of the original art itself, and therefore preserves its utmost value. Conservation treatment restores original radiance, color, and detail to treasured oil paintings and art objects, adding years of life and maximum value to even the most damaged artwork.
Mr. Gratz is the owner of Gratz Gallery and Conservation Studio, Inc. He has been a private conservator for 40 years, working with Princeton University Art Museum for 30 years, providing conservation services for private collectors, prestigious national museums, and art organizations. The Conservation Studio specializes in the conservation and restoration of oil paintings and gilt frames.
