The field of "Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks" is gaining importance and restorers and laser scientists now work together to develop new applications. This book presents a fascinating and valuable application of laser technology. The proceedings of the 2005 congress addresses scientists, conservator-restorers, companies, architects, decision-makers and other experts involved in conservation projects or in the research of new laser equipment.
Since 1995, when Costas Fotakis first brought together restorers and scientists to discuss the potential of lasers in art conservation, the field has grown enormously in importance, and today restorers and laser scientists work together to develop new applications. This book presents the more than six dozen research papers prepared for LACONA V (Lasers in Art Conservation), held in Osnabrueck/Germany in September 2003. The fifth congress once again gathered restorers, art historians, museum staff, laser scientists and laser manufacturers. The topics include, among others: laser cleaning of artworks (case studies and side effects), removal of former conservation layers, fundamentals of laser-artwork interaction, online monitoring and process control, laser diagnostics, spectroscopy for monitoring and identification, networks and cooperation projects.

Laser systems and advanced optical techniques offer new solutions for conservation scientists, and provide answers to challenges in Conservation Science. Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks comprises selected contributions from the 7th International Conference on Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks (LACONA VII, Madrid, Spain, 17-21 September
Laser techniques offer possibilities for the examination and conservation of artwork, and for the prevention of cultural heritage. This collection of peer reviewed papers from the 8th International Conference on Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks, Sibiu, Romania, September 21-25, 2009, addresses various aspects of cultural heritage preservation (laser induced phenomenas, laser investigations and recent laboratory studies and onsite applications). The main topics include: – Innovative approaches in laser cleaning researches and instrumentation development; – Laser investigation and diagnostics methods; – Monitoring, imaging and documentation of artwork. Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks VIII will appeal to laser scientists, conservation scientists, scientists in the field of optoelectronics, chemistry, IT and biology, conservators-restorers, architects, art historians, archaeologists, and decision makers in the field of conservation and restoration of artworks.
Light allows us not only to see the works of art, but also to take care of them and preserve them for future generations, through diagnosis of the degradation and deterioration phenomena, conservation treatments, and monitoring based on light-material interaction processes. Recent progress on this subject was discussed during the 13th International Conference on Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks (LACONA XIII, Florence, Italy, 12-16 September 2022). This volume includes selected contributions presented at the conference on preservation topics, photonic techniques, and optimization methods. In particular, the papers focus on the development and use of innovative spectroscopic and imaging ...
Der Band vereint die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse zu der von Rudolf IV. initiierten Erweiterung der Wiener Stephanskirche in Hinblick auf seine Grablege, die auf einer interdisziplinär ausgerichteten Tagung diskutiert wurden. Neben einer Darstellung der Bauchronologie nach den Schriftquellen, einer profunden kunsthistorischen Einordnung des Hallenchores mit seiner künstlerisch und ikonographisch außergewöhnlichen Bauplastik werden Beobachtungen zur Bauausführung an der markanten Schnittstelle von Langhaus und Südturm dargelegt. Im Fokus des Sammelbandes stehen umfangreiche Analysen der beiden kunsthistorisch bedeutenden Fürstenportale und des Rudolfskenotaphs. Hinter der Umsetzung des ambitionierten herzoglichen Vorhabens muss ein groß organisierter Baubetrieb gestanden haben. Für die im Auftrag von Herzog Rudolf IV. an der Baustelle tätigen Hanvlbdwerker und Spezialisten wurde von der Forschung des 20. Jahrhunderts der Begriff "Herzogswerkstatt" etabliert.
