The Museum of Modern Art announces a new digital publication:
*Francis Picabia: Materials and Techniques* This online publication features twelve richly illustrated essays by an international group of conservators and curators and is now available for free download here: mo.ma/picabia_conservation This publication builds on the unique opportunity for technical study occasioned by the exhibition *Francis Picabia: Our Heads Are Round so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction*, organized by MoMA and the Kunsthaus Zürich which brought together over 200 works, and provided an overview of Picabia’s unruly genius as manifested over the course of a fifty-plus-year career. Each individual object essay is complemented by a wealth of technical illustrations, including x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, and raking light images. A selected bibliography is included for readers who wish to delve deeper into the technical and historical literature on the artist. -- Michael Duffy Paintings Conservator The David Booth Conservation Department *The Museum of Modern Art* mo.ma/picabia_conservation ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to consdistlist-le...@cool.conservation-us.org Archives through August 2016 at http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/ Archives from September 2016 onward at https://www.mail-archive.com/consdistlist@cool.conservation-us.org/
