Systematic condition and analytical surveys were carried out on Zoe Leonard's (b. 1961) 2000, an installation artwork in Tate's collection consisting of 162 children's dolls. The dolls were manufactured at various points within the 20th century and encompass several potentially problematic synthetic polymers found in modern and contemporary museum collections. To explore the doll materials and conservation condition, a multi-analytical approach was used to identify key synthetic polymer types and additives present, including portable and bench analytical techniques. Challenging degradation phenomena associated with different types of doll have been discussed and related to their material composition, which has helped our understanding of the conservation challenges inherent to this contemporary artwork.
对佐伊·伦纳德(生于1961年)的《2000》进行了系统状况和分析调查,这是泰特美术馆收藏的一件装置艺术品,由162个儿童玩偶组成。这些玩偶在20世纪的不同时间制造,包含了现代和当代博物馆收藏中发现的几种潜在有问题的合成聚合物。为了探究玩偶材料和保存状况,采用了多种分析方法来识别存在的关键合成聚合物类型和添加剂,包括便携式和台式分析技术。讨论了与不同类型玩偶相关的具有挑战性的降解现象,并将其与材料成分相关联,这有助于我们理解这件当代艺术品所固有的保存挑战。
