In Focus: Preparing the Photo Linen Artwork “Man in Mexico” by Marcia Resnick

Marcia Resnick’s “Man in Mexico” (1974), a large silver gelatin photograph on photo linen with applied oil paint, was prepared at the George Eastman Museum for the exhibition “Marcia Resnick: As It Is or Could Be”. Works on photo linen are relatively rare, and preparing this particular work was a challenging project.

This presentation will cover the steps that were taken by the conservators and preparators to treat, mount, frame, ship, and install this work for the exhibition.

Presentation is included with regular museum admission.
