Progetto di monitoraggio delle criticità di conservazione sulle opere di arte ambientale della Fattoria di Celle-Collezione Gori

In this contribution the authors describe the project on monitoring of conservation issues on some artefacts of environmental art in the Fattoria di Celle, reporting some preliminary results. The project aims at evaluating the conservation status of some artefacts, identifying their conservation issues and, through monitoring, evaluating the risk for their conservation. The results of these three activities are essential for scheduling the maintenance of the artefacts. The importance of this project lies both in analyzing the selected artefacts using the best analytical techniques available at the state of art, and in the definition of protocols, standards, and good practice norms aimed at planning Abstract of maintenance for environmental art. Artefacts made by different materials and with different manufacturing techniques are selected for the project: Labyrinth by R. Morris, 1982, in Trani stone, serpentinite and cement; Open Field Vertical Elevations by R. Serra, 1982, in sandstone; Servi muti by R. Barni, 1988, bronze; La cabane éclatée aux 4 salles by D. Buren, 2005, concrete, mirrors, marble and acrylic colors; Cette obscure clarté qui tombe des étoilesby A. Kiefer, 2009, mixed media on canvas and lead/terracotta, lead/charcoal on wall. The obtained results on the selected artefacts can be generalized to other artefacts stored outdoors
