At KSH&Co we undertake a technical examination of each painting we treat. This may be a simple examination with techniques such as ultraviolet light, raking light and high magnification with a binocular microscope. In many cases it is necessary to carry out a more extensive examination to inform our treatment decisions or to provide evidence for authentication, dating, authorship or for academic study. This may include variously, the analysis of paint samples to identify pigments and media and imaging such as x-radiography and infrared reflectography to reveal the structure of the object, the brushwork, changes to the composition, any damage and old restorations. For a list of possible techniques employed see our page on The Technical Study of Paintings.
Below is a list of artists whose paintings we have treated in our studios. For those artists highlighted we retain technical data in our archives, available upon request. Please contact us for information.
