Part of what complicates the care and preservation of contemporary art is that objects may exist in ways that are variable rather than fixed. Hear from Francesca Esmay, Alfred Flechtheim Director of Engagement, Conservation and Collections Care at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, on how conservation in this context requires a departure from the traditional modes of engagement with the artwork.
