This catalogue is being published in conjunction with the exhibition
of the same name at the J. Paul Getty Museum. It includes articles
by Robert Steven Bianchi (J. Clawson Mills Fellow, Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York) and John K. McDonald (Associate Director,
Yale University Art Gallery).
As a complement to the exhibition, this publication includes a
description and photographs of the conservation process, discussion
of significant artifacts and the tomb in the context of Egyptian
art history, and an outline of the life of Nefertari. Aimed at the
layperson who is interested in Egyptian art, this book will also
be of value to the specialist.
The Conservation and Technology of Musical Instruments: A Bibliographic Supplement to AATA
The Conservation and Technology of Musical Instruments,
edited by Cary Karp, compiles in a single bound volume abstracts
on the following subjects:
- Musical instrument conservation, including treatment, examination,
analysis, and documentation
- Musical instrument technology, including relevant aspects of
materials science and the general history of technology
- Musical performance practice as it relates to the conservation
of musical instruments
- Ethical issues arising in the conservation of musical instruments
The literature covered by the bibliography includes periodicals,
published and unpublished monographs (including encyclopedias, collection
catalogs, masters' theses, and doctoral dissertations), and audiovisual
sources. Historic primary sources, dating from the 16th century,
are given special attention. Extensive reference is also made to
material available through online sources such as the International
Repertory of Music Literature (RILM) and the Conservation Information
Network.
"If you do any research at all, or use libraries at all to look
for material in our field, this is going to be an essential tool,
and it will be neither replaced nor superseded for a generation
or more."
—Jeremy Montagu
The Fellowship of Makers & Researchers of Historic
Instruments Quarterly.
