Neodymium magnets as a proposal for minimal intervention for conservation processes on painted fabric support: correction of deformations
Keywords:
minimal intervention, easel painting, conservation-restoration, neodymium magnets, canvas supports, 3D scanning
Abstract
This article proposes a possible alternative to the traditional methods used in conservation-restoration treatments for painted fabric supports following the criterion of minimal intervention. An Auxiliary Frame with Magnetic System (AFMS) has been designed for the correction of deformations and the perimeter fixation of the work on a temporary basis. Throughout the work, the construction of the proposed mechanism is detailed and the experimental tests carried out on models are analyzed. Finally, the methodology followed for its application in a case study with real work is shown. The results obtained with the magnetic systems are very promising, being a simple methodological alternative, low cost, effective, reversible and respectful with the original.
Keywords: minimal intervention, easel painting, conservation-restoration, neodymium magnets, canvas supports, 3D scanning.
