Join conservation coordinator Alison Cariens for a closer look at pigments in our famed Forbes Pigment Collection. We’ll discuss the history of the collection, the function of the materials within our conservation labs, and the significance of the collection as a “library of color.” Together, we will also delve into the story behind each featured pigment and discuss how each lends a unique window into the history of human creativity.
Led by:
Alison Cariens, Conservation Coordinator and Curatorial Technician for the Straus Collections, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies
