An inside look at the Legacy Project's approach to conservation with @nyphotoconservation and @griffin_editions
Each original print is carefully handled, studied, and assessed at J. Luca Ackerman Studios in Long Island City, before being sent over to Griffin Editions in Gowanus, where the new, revitalized print is created.
At this stage, both works are examined side by side to note the differences in color and material composition, with factors such as age, environment, and prior handling practices taken into account for the original.
All of this information is then compiled as data, which remains relevant as it helps to better understand the effects of these factors on older Cindy Sherman works, and thus more accurately assess each new commission that comes in.
