The Menil Collection The Menil Collection

In the field of art conservation, monitoring color changes in paintings is a useful tool to determine light sensitivity. Besides photographic documentation, conservators use a scientific technique called colorimetry.

Join Assistant Paintings Conservator Desi Dijkema and the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow in Painting Conservation Anne Schmid as they discuss measuring color and color changes in Frank Bowling’s Middle Passage.

Held on Fridays for a small group, Member Noontime Talks make exhibitions more intimate and reveal the collection as never before. To sign up, please RSVP to membership@menil.org. If you are not currently a Menil Member, you can learn more and join here.
