Resumo: This paper discusses the conservation challenges posed by the mixed-media photographic artwork, Revolução, Corpo, Tempo (1978) by Ernesto de Sousa, from Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea do Chiado, in Portugal. Due to the artwork's poor condition and an exhibition request, a conservation intervention was needed. However, the definition of a conservation plan was challenging because of the complex and singular creative process of Ernesto and the highly deteriorated exhibition mounting. The lack of existing information led to the start of a research study and to the production of new documentation. This paper examines the gathered knowledge on Ernesto de Sousa's work and case study, and his possible position regarding the artwork’s deterioration and evolution over time – fundamental issues for decision-making in conservation. Based on visual observation, archive research, informal interviews, photo-documentation, infrared spectroscopy, and x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, this paper discusses the challenges, the methodology and the applied treatment.

Devido aos danos na obra e um pedido para exposição, foi necessário realizar uma intervenção de conservação. A definição de um plano de conservação foi desafiante devido à falta de informação sobre o complexo e singular processo criativo do autor e aos extensos danos nos elementos da montagem. Este artigo analisa a informação recolhida sobre a obra e o caso de estudo, e discute a possível posição do artista face à deterioração e evolução da obra ao longo do tempo – questões fundamentais para a tomada de decisão em conservação. Através da observação visual, pesquisa em arquivos, entrevistas informais, foto-documentação, espectroscopia de infravermelho e micro-fluorescência de raios X, apresentam-se os desafios, a metodologia e o tratamento realizado.ARP - Associação Profissional de Conservadores-Restauradores de Portugal2023-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.14568/cp27337eng2182-99421646-043XRoldão, ÉliaFrança de Sá, SusanaPinto Rodrigues, AlexandraTavares, Emíliainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-08-01T02:31:46Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/27337Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:02:56.254274Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
