SAM Talks: Fixing the Unfixable - Conserving Frederick Reynold's A pastoral scene
Event description
Join us at SAM for an in-conversation event with paintings conservator and co-founder of c/o Studios Robyn Ho from Care of Studios as she chats with SAM Exhibitions Manager, Nick Baylart about her unique conservation treatment of Frederick Reynold’s A pastoral scene, c.1910s, and her efforts to reverse its damage.
The painting was donated to SAM in the 1970s in a state of disrepair. Due to the unique circumstances of its deterioration, it was selected by c/o Studios as an ideal candidate for the Fusion 2: Asia Pacific conservation workshop held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, a program, supported by the Los Angeles-based Getty Foundation’s Conserving Canvas initiative. Conservation began in 2024 with the aim of restoring this painting to an exhibitable state, allowing SAM to share this unique piece of Shepparton history.
