About
Goal
Since the end of World War II, Los Angeles has boasted a vibrant contemporary art scene, offering an excellent setting to explore modern and contemporary art practices.
Art in L.A. seeks to study the materials, processes, and conservation treatments of works by Los Angeles–based artists to bring an improved understanding of artists' materials and processes, as well as of artists' intent and attitudes towards conservation to support decisions regarding storage, display, and conservation.
