Résumé en anglais
This report presents issues, responses, and priorities about the conservation of outdoor painted sculpture. Conserving outdoor painted sculpture can be challenging, facing uncontrolled and often harsh environments to which works are exposed. Yet collectors and artists often have the expectation that painted surfaces should remain pristine. Although conservation approaches for these sculptures exist, most involve major and costly interventions, such as full repainting of a work.
