Preservation of paintings is both an art and a science. You should be a good artist and you should understand the materials that were used at the time the painting was executed.

 

ANDRE LOHNERT holds a Ph.d. in Art History from Univerzita Komenskeho in Bratislava, Slovakia, and a certificate in museum conservation from Moravske Muzeum in Brno, Czech Republic. Mr. Lohnert works as a painting conservator with international clients throughout the world. He is an advisor to the Choueke and Kaneko families and we gratefully thank him for his support.
