EDWARD S. Curtis OrOTONE Conservation PROJECT AT MOPA

3/18/2020

 
BACC was thrilled to serve as a key partner in The Edward S. Curtis Orotone Conservation Project at ​the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) in San Diego.

MOPA holds 175 Curtis images in its permanent collection and 13 of those are unique orotone prints that were contained in original mounting material from the early 1900s. Although the orotone photographic prints themselves are in fair-to-good condition, issues with frame damage, dirt, and fear of further harm prevented MOPA from loaning and exhibiting them.

After securing a grant from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project, MOPA looked to BACC to restore this collection to its near-original condition.
Learn more about this project by visiting MOPA's site, here.
