In order to avoid artworks needing to be treated, preventive conservation steps can be undertaken. ERPCR is prepared to consult about environmental conditions, hanging solutions, and more to ensure that your artworks will be safely displayed or stored.

When paintings are damaged or have become dirty over time, they may require careful treatment. ERPCR will do what is required to return them as close as possible to their original state. The artist’s intent will always be respected, and the original materials will not be damaged, covered, or misrepresented.

Frames are an essential element for the display of paintings. ERPCR can provide both structural and aesthetic treatment of frames, including antique gilded and wood frames.

ERPCR can provide technical imaging in multiple lighting conditions, including ultraviolet and infrared radiation. This can help detect original underdrawings, later retouchings, or sometimes signatures on paintings which are otherwise difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Condition reports and photographs will create a baseline for a painting before or after a loan, exhibition, or other travel. We can also service large collections by surveying the condition of all artworks and providing detailed data analysis. ERPCR can then provide estimates for any recommended treatments.

Upon request, ERPCR can conduct presentations about the field of conservation, how to become a conservator, example treatments, and more.
