Tear-Mending Workshops Preserve the Future of Canvas Paintings
Dental probes. Suture materials. A microscope equipped for photographic recording. These were just some of the specialized instruments provided to conservator Kerstin Khalife, a freelance conservator for the Sursock Museum and head of conservation of the Beirut Museum of Art, as part of a Getty-funded conservation workshop in tear mending. After the 2020 port explosion in Beirut left numerous artworks glass-riddled and torn, Khalife sought expert insights to prepare her to treat the destroyed collections. Find out how the Conserving Canvas initiative is training conservators like Khalife around the world in cutting-edge and traditional techniques that enable the next generation of cultural heritage professionals to care for paintings on canvas damaged by disasters or human conflicts.
