{"product_id":"modern-metals-in-cultural-heritage-virginia-costa-9781606066058","title":"Modern Metals in Cultural Heritage: Understanding and Characterization","description":"This practical guide provides artists, conservators, curators, and other heritage professionals with tools for understanding, evaluating, and approaching the care and treatment of modern metals. The proliferation of new metals--such as stainless steels, aluminum alloys, and metallic coatings--in modern and contemporary art and architecture has made the need for professionals who can address their conservation more critical than ever. This volume seeks to bridge the gap between the vast technical literature on metals and the pressing needs of conservators, curators, and other heritage professionals without a metallurgy background. It offers practical information in a simple and direct way, enabling curators, conservators, and artists alike to understand and evaluate the objects under their care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This invaluable reference reframes information formerly found only in specialized technical and industrial publications for the context of cultural heritage conservation. As the first book to address the properties, testing, and maintenance issues of the hundreds of metals and alloys available since the beginning of the twentieth century, it is destined to become an essential resource for conservators, artists, fabricators, curators, collectors, and anyone working with modern metals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Costa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606066056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606066058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Conservation Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Virginia Costa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984552788223,"sku":"9781606066058","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8df81715-a779-45a6-ab87-1a9bc65b103e.jpg?v=1683272941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-metals-in-cultural-heritage-virginia-costa-9781606066058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
