Resumo
Contemporary art presents various challenges and questions for those responsible for its preservation. Faced with new variables including but not limited to the use of modern and diverse materials, complexity of construction, in addition to conceptual and intangible
questions, the profession needs to re-examine conservation and restoration theories developed thus far. This communication presents an investigation (Giovani et al., 2015) into the paintings of the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark (born Belo Horizonte 1920, died Rio de Janeiro 1988) during the 1950s, with a focus on four works made from industrial paint on wood. They are: Superfície Modulada N° 12
(1956), Planos em Superfície Modulada N° 3 (1957), Espaço Modulado N° 4 (1958), and Ovo – Contra Relevo (1959). The paintings belong to the Sattamini collection,1 and are on loan to the Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These particular paintings gave the opportunity to carry out research into some highly significant works which also provide a snapshot of Clark’s career over a short period.
