The restorer as an intermediary in the intervention of contemporary art: the decision-making process

Abstract

When decisions are taken regarding contemporary art,
the conservator-restorer must play an intermediary role
to involve the stakeholders related to the object, and, in
this way, recognise the values that the work of art holds
for different actors, an approach that actually supports an
integral intervention. This paper shows the considerations
and reflections during the intervention of Jacket/portrait
of Javier Campos Cabello, an art piece exhibited at Martha
Pacheco. Exposición Antológica, in the Museo de Arte
de Zapopan (MAZ), Jalisco, Mexico.
