Material characterization of exudates from Brazilian contemporary oil painting by ftir, py-gc/ms and sem-eds
Contemporary art has employed almost every single synthetic material created by man. Nonetheless, the appeal of oil paint is still present at most public and private collections. Oil paint manufacture has evolved over time along with its formulation and conservation concerns. A reported problem is the formation of exudates on contemporary oil paintings. This work aims to characterize exudates from the Brazilian oil painting “Três pessoas” (1999), by Marina Saleme.
