Abstract

Abstract Since the 1990s digital printing has become ubiquitous on the contemporary art scene. Artists from diverse disciplines employ different technologies, materials and techniques to create their artworks. The use of a wide range of materials affects their correct identification in museum and institutional collections such that a precise registration process using accurate terminology to clearly record concise information about each work is essential. To achieve this, gaining access to the information that printing laboratories and artists gather is an important issue. In this article information collected in a survey conducted with printing studios and artists across Spain and the UK is presented. Some interesting concerns were gathered including on materiality, artists’ beliefs about the deterioration of their work, and reproduction as a conservation strategy and its influence on market value, all of which help to understand more fully the conservation needs for this type of artwork.

数码印刷的保存方法:艺术家使用的技术和材料

自20世纪90年代以来，数字印刷在当代艺术舞台上无处不在。来自不同学科的艺术家采用不同的技术、材料和技巧来创作他们的艺术作品。在博物馆和机构收藏中，材料的使用范围很广，影响到它们的正确识别，因此，使用准确的术语来清楚地记录每件作品的简明信息的精确登记过程是必不可少的。为了实现这一目标，获取印刷实验室和艺术家收集的信息是一个重要的问题。在这篇文章的信息收集与印刷工作室和艺术家在西班牙和英国进行的一项调查提出。收集了一些有趣的问题，包括物质，艺术家对其作品退化的信念，复制作为一种保护策略及其对市场价值的影响，所有这些都有助于更全面地了解这类艺术品的保护需求。
