Amazing restoration work. Artworks on paper and vellum are far more fragile than works on canvas or other mediums, so requires a far more gentle hand. I'm glad that there are people who can do this kind of work to such a high degree of professionalism and craft.
This is one of the most interesting and informative UA-cam channels I follow. My daughter and I have a small business restoring vintage & antique books. We learned so much from a previous video & upped our education & process. This one makes us think bigger. We are of the mind it’s better to preserve & restore rather than buy new. Thank you.
I do believe the essence of the video is to show you how the restoration process is done. Not why it is done. But some people don’t understand the difference between daylight and dark.
Watching theses videos is so calming, I totally unwind. Whilst my husband watches fast and furious type films (and more recently Dune😅), I’m being calmed and soothed by restoration videos. I wouldn’t have the patience myself, but admire the patience and knowledge of said restorer’s, also I can feel myself holding my breath when there’s something extremely delicate happening😂
Many years ago, I was fortunate to attend a gallery show of Picasso's work. I remember seeing a collage made with, in part, newsprint. That would be a conservator's nightmare as the material is both very fragile and highly acidic, such that it damages whatever it is in contact with.
Baumgartner probably approves of this work as it is done with care and knowledge of the materials. However the other guy that butchers oil paintings restorations should not even change oil in his car alone.
I see these as conceptual pieces that inform us of Picasso's Process in developing his art. Just as doodling may Spark, an idea for other artists, Picasso may have created these as a way to figure out how to Bring his ideas to fruition. Besides, Picasso is a fixture in the art world who is highly praised and very well known. It's nice to have an insight into his thought process. At any rate, I'm here to watch the artistry of the conservator in restoring these pieces.
What is traditional art at the end of the day? is art something that you look at only because it’s beautiful or because it makes you feel something? Beginning students often think that art should make you feel is beauty and happiness, but we know that’s not the only thing we feel in life or the only thing we’re trying to put on paper. We take our experiences, happiness and sorrow to organize on a painting so that we can understand it ourselves.
Nice work Ms Emily. For all the people here who are disliking Picasso , I wouldnt hang one on my wall if someone gave me one. However that does not mean that I should criticise what I dont understand. For comparison, I love Jazz music and think that it is clever and exciting, but many people think it sounds awful, due to lack of familiarity and music education.
Well, I don't like how Picasso getting way too emotional in his drawings and just spread sadness rather than the willing to change things. And I'm not sure if I should blame him for making it popular to be overly emotional. Other than that I have all the respect on the skill level he shows, and how he tried to recreate his feeling through his art rather than simply catching the look of things. Probably rather brave for him to do that when most people didn't have an open mind on art styles and only prefer realistic stuffs that are on the more heavenly side. Anyway I've done my comment and you can hate me now 😂
What I dont like about Picasso is how he keeps getting away with selling what is esentially a kindergardener scribbling a bunch of lines on some paper and giving up after a few strokes for hundreds of thousands while if I do the same it wont sell even for a penny. What makes his so special? I want to spend 10 seconds drawing a few squares and set myself for life too.
@@sometingstupid1-q6f the "special", or more like "specialty" of seemingly simple art being considered master piece is that the lines are clean, evenly spaced out and in harmony, and have the look of "well thought out", and more importantly, didn't reuse idea. Making such piece of art might not be hard, but having the knowledge and experience to do so is. You are extremely encouraged to give it a try, and most likely you won't be hitting all the marks at the same time. In fact without practice you likely won't be able to draw a long straight line in one go with no assist, just to begin with all the roadblocks you can face down the road.
Not commercial prints. Early print runs were limited editions of between say 20 to 40. Not from a commercial press, made in the studio. So...rare, even though they are prints. A special kind of print, let's say...
Hi, its been recently accepted that the process of gloving does only as much good as regularly washing your hands when handing paper materials. So, theres no real difference in it. Source: book conservator
Love seeing all this ppl commenting nonsense about the piece. People are so used to traditional styles of art that won't see the beauty of modernism styles such as Cubism, which was meant to represent all faces of an object or person at once in a single space at the same time. I'd really love to watch them paint cubism or abstract drawings so they could see how much of an effort is actually made for a single piece to come as it is, and to see if they could make even a single penny out of their "art". People should really start studying art's history!
no one can pay me enough to force me to paint quark like this. enjoy your "art". the paintings of my younger sister has more value to me then this picasso ever will.
Did he do a good job, painting this peice? There is no way to know so we always rely on expert opinions instead of our senses. In such a system, the artist does not matter anymore, neither is the art
Genuinely curious - these are offset prints, not originals - these appear to have been printed in 1989. And they are still being made it seems. So why are they going to the trouble to have them restored? Not about the art or the artist Picasso - don’t have to tell me twice. I’m perfectly willing to accept I’ve missed something obvious. 😅
Hola. Tengo un Picasso originalpara la venta. Cómo podemos ponerlo a la venta??. Me puede enviar un correo electrónico yo le mandó un registro fotográfico???
Well done! Art is not here to be pretty, but to make people think. Different arts speak to different people, and if no art speaks to you at all - well I guess that’s a pity for you and means, you are not thinking 🤷🏻♀️ Use your brain before you make yourself a fool in the internet. If you don’t understand something, educate yourself or shut up and leave.
The "art" is terrible. He was laughing all the way to the bank. I understand its value, and its simply the value makes it amazing. However the art itself is a deliberate mockery of art connoisseurs.
I would agree that the older Picasso was sensationalist and starlike (I would say good for him! Why not?) But I think it's unfair to say the "awkward phase art was going through" profited him since he was one of the artist who started this "phase". He was one of the earlier artists, from one of the earliest art movement that totally redefined art in the first years of the 20th century. Picasso was traditionally trained, do check his work, he was technically an amazing painter. But along a group of artist he turned art and its definition upside down. He is a talented artist, and he does 100% deserve his carrier and success. Then you do not like it and that's OK. I would agree I don't understand why he is so much more famous over Matisse, Kandinsky, Malevitch, Duchamp, etc. Doesn't take any of his talent away though.
@@stephanemami turn it upside down…… like when hitting hammer on the piano was the new phase of the art of music? Im sure someone started that phase as well. Think about that. Not much to be amazed by, perhaps something to blame for.
@@sharimeline3077 Exactly - for ME personally it is not art. Some other people might think it is and I do not dispute their right to think so. I just wonder if they ever looked at the drawings on the wall at any pre school.
@@sharimeline3077 All the work the narrator put into this, and you call it a “computer generated voice”. He has taken his craft and created his own artwork from it, and yet you deny him. Why do you get to decide what is decidedly good or bad?
OMG YOU DESERVE A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR SAYING NONSENSE, BECAUSE AFTER ALL, EVERYBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID. THATS RIGHT! NOW YOUR PARENTS ACTUALLY LOVE YOU- HOW WONDERFUL :D no one thinks saying that is cool. It’s actually dumb. Not saying being sensitive is bad (as a sensitive person myself), just saying to not be so offended with shit like this, because your life is so much more (at least I’m assuming, but re-thinking, maybe not!)
overpriced nonsense... My sister drew better when she was 8. I dont see the point in spending thousands in a childrenslike drawing. this is expensive just because some ppl decided it has to be. Guernica is a mstrpiece, no doubt, but this? like he want to make fun of the ppl who are eager to spend thousands just to have something with the name of a famous painter on it.
It. Has. Meaning. The definition of art is to express yourself in any way you like. Less is more and art is not the same as realism, skill or esthetics. If you were so offended by that, go complain somewhere else where it will actually help you.
@@DaisyGrant-t4uI dont criticise Art, I just criticise the ppl who make Art expansive because they can. I have seen how galleries work... the price of a painting should be not the indicator for its worth. Bob Ross is more an artist to me. and his paintings even never get sold.
@@zeleacodreanu1 honestly I’d like to see you try to draw anything. If you look up Picassos older paintings that were more traditional, you’d shup up knowing he was a brilliant artist

@Chastitee good question.
Thank you for this video. Looks like some amateur art critics missed the point that this video is about a restoration and conservation process.
I do believe the essence of the video is to show you how the restoration process is done. Not why it is done. But some people don’t understand the difference between daylight and dark.
would be nice to work in such a quiet environment where you can focus on tasks.
the work you do is amazing
Wonderful work

Imagine the feeling if the paint washed off as soon as it was dunked! Aargh 😂
Incredible restoration. I have old photo albums with yellow aged pages. Where can I buy a cleaning kit.
Even if you could find a kit (probably not), you're more likely to ruin it than you are to improve it.

Must be amazing getting to touch something like that.

I’m a bit confused as to why she didn’t wear gloves (human oils ?) & why bath them at the same time on top of each other?
I thought the same thing. If you're going to that much trouble, why take the risk of skin oils leaving a mark?
