#Management

Conservation Management Plans

A crucial part of conservation management for large-scale, multi-component works and outdoor sculpture is developing a conservation management plan. This planning utilizes values-based conservation planning methodology, as set out in international benchmarks such as the ICOMOS Burra Charter, to emphasize the significance of intangible values and the physical aspects of an installation or artwork. The process incorporates gathering information, analysing, and assessing an artwork and its site, condition, history, and materials to inform maintenance and management strategies.

Maintenance Schedules

Ongoing maintenance schedules developed specifically for the needs of an artwork or collections, including cleaning, re-application of protective wax and coating finishes, along with ongoing regular condition assessments to monitor the health of the artworks and ensure any conditions and treatment needs are identified and addressed in a timely manner.

Digital Preservation Strategies

Utilizing in-depth technical fabrication knowledge and consultancy from the workshop and broader fabrication team at UAP, our Preservation department provides risk mitigation strategies by incorporating best practice conservation and engineering, design, fabrication, and casting capabilities for preventive care solutions. Our team offers preventive conservation consultation to aid in acquiring, installing, de-instating, wrapping and storing artwork.

Artist Estate Planning

We specialize in art conservation services tailored to artist estate planning, ensuring the preservation and legacy of artists' practices and works for future generations. Our experienced team collaborates with artists, art historians, galleries, collectors, curators, and estate planners to develop customized conservation plans and documentation strategies that address the specific preservation needs for fabricated artworks. Through a holistic approach incorporating meticulous documentation, treatment, preventive care, and reporting, we protect the integrity and value of each artwork while honouring the artist's original overall vision.
