Resumen

De 1981 a 2009, Maria Lai creó una serie de obras de arte al aire libre, específicas para cada sitio, hechas de diferentes materiales (principalmente cemento, luego pintadas con acrílico) ubicadas en su ciudad natal, Ulassai (Sardenha), que se convirtieron en un museo al aire libre. Este artículo se centra en un proyecto para cada obra de arte, con la creación de un registro de documentación sobre su historia y sus problemas de conservación. Con los años, el artista y los trabajadores locales llevaron a cabo las intervenciones de retoque y repintado, sin ningún conservador-restaurador envuelto en el proceso. El artículo también tiene como objetivo proporcionar una descripción de estas intervenciones con un enfoque en tres estudios de caso, explorando desafíos relacionados con el mantenimiento, particularmente aquellos que envuelven retoques y repintado.
