Pollock, "One: Number 31, 1950"발음듣기

We're in front of Jackson Pollock's One: Number 31, 1950.발음듣기

We're working on this painting to restore it and there will be several steps to that restoration.발음듣기

The first steps are the cleaning of the surface.발음듣기

This has included dry cleaning with dry sponges.발음듣기

We're now at a stage in the process where we are surface cleaning it with moistened swabs.발음듣기

One: Number 31 came into the collection in 1968 and this is the first time that it will be surface cleaned so there is a good bit of embedded grime on the paint layer.발음듣기

In 1998 when the museum had a significant Jackson Pollock retrospective we were able to look at this painting in the context of others from 1950.발음듣기

There were some differences in the way this painting looked and we wanted to understand more about his materials and techniques.발음듣기

We used X-radiography to look at detail shots of areas of paint that looked very different from what we're typically seeing across Pollack's surface.발음듣기

We found areas of cracking that revealed some restoration had taken place, covering over original paint.발음듣기

We looked at the painting under ultraviolet light in order to distinguish original paint media from restoration media.발음듣기

In this case we took samples from the original painting to find out what the medium was that Pollock was using and then samples from what we deemed to be 'overpaint' to see what the medium of those passages of paint were.발음듣기

The Overpaint passages were a completely different paint.발음듣기

They were made from a different resin, and thus further confirmed the fact that these were added at a later date.발음듣기

The final piece of evidence was the discovery of some photographs from 1962 when the painting was on tour in the US.발음듣기

Those photographs show certain passages where, in fact, the painting has been changed.발음듣기

Those changes correspond to areas that we find to be the Overpaint, that are different both in ultraviolet light and the medium analysis that we did.발음듣기

The restoration paint and Pollock's paint are two very different resins, and because they are, we are fortunately able to chemically separate these two layers without causing damage to the original layer.발음듣기

As you go across the surface inch-by-inch and get to know all the different textures and the different ways that Pollock manipulated the paint.발음듣기

You understand how well this artist knew his materials and how to manipulate his materials.발음듣기

It gives you a real appreciation for what he was working on.발음듣기
