There is a nice little article about a damaged beyond repair Ad Reinhardt painting on display at the Guggenheim in Artinfo this week.
The show “Imageless” is on display in the museum Annex Level 7 through September.
I found this to be pretty interesting read, hope you do too.

If you’re interested in hearing more background information about the “Imageless” exhibition and the science behind the restoration of the Black Painting, I recommend listening to the New York Academy of Sciences’ Podcast about “Imageless.” It features Carol Stringari, the Chief Conservator at the Guggenheim. You can listen to that here.
Very nice blog, your works are very interesting, I am a french artist and I like Ad Reinhardt.
