abstract = {Abstract: The conceptual evolution and the material renovation of contemporary artwork have generated many problems
in its conservation. The study of the major causes of alteration and the established recommendations for new artwork
preservation can be seen in the criteria followed in different examples of contemporary art: the consideration of the
possibility to forbid lending Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica;” the maintenance of Eduardo Chillida’s “The Comb of the
Wind” at an exhibition under bad conditions; and the re-edition and exhibition of Richard Serra’s lost piece of artwork,
“Equal-Parallel: Guernica-Bengasi.” Artists and selected works are referents internationally. The works presented for
study have different technical support and various conservation problems. They are also found in Spanish collections or
have been exhibited in Spain, which was a main factor in the decision to use them in this study. In conclusion, there are
different reasons why conservators and curators have needed to extend their classical working criteria, namely the wide
diversity of the constitutive material of contemporary artwork, the difficulty to predict its durability, and the concept of
reduced durability. Thus, each particular case has to be studied with the artists very closely, and many choices need to be
made, such as the manner of documentation, whether or not to reproduce performance art, or how to re-edit works that
have been lost among other solutions.},
