00:00 Hello! 1:00 How many round of conservation do you think this paint had?  1:48 What was up with that pattern on the back of the canvas? 3:20 Why did we remove the lining canvas? 4:36 Why wouldn’t the researcher look at the painting before conservation? 5:48 Have you ever had a vegan client resist animal products in conservation? 6:38 Why didn’t we keep the painting on the hot table for the whole process? 7:17 Why couldn’t the tears be repaired with bridging? 9:13 Do you wonder what future conservators will think of your work? 11:15 How much of the work didn’t Kitt do and why? 12:41 Have you ever just stopped during a cleaning and said “wow!” 13:38 How do you decide who does what? 14:10 Why is some paint more fugitive than another? 15:34 Is it safe to scrape white lead? 16:35 Do we ever leave some old varnish on a painting and why? 18:27 Do conservators have their own retouching styles? 20:35 Does the direction one scrapes canvas matter? 22:00 How do you calculate the cost of a project? 23:08 What are the obligations a conservator has when they discover information about a painting? 26:04 Was the original proposal’s budget flexible or a concession to the client? 29:27 What was the video production process like for this one versus another? 35:10 When you hired Kitt, what were you looking for? 38:30 How did you find Kitt? 40:57 How did Kitt find her way into conservation? 43:17 Is conservation a male dominated field? 45:15 How is it working with someone else? 54:40 Don't go yet!!!
