Description: This volume contains papers from the NeCCAR 2014 conference "Authenticity in Transition". The papers debate the various ways that changing artistic practices affect our interpretation, conservation, and curation of contemporary art, with a special reference to the shifting concepts of authenticity and artistic intent. The papers examine the topic through many mediums including artists' viewpoints, the ephemeral nature of materials, historical perspective. The volume especially focuses on the problems caused by a shifting concept of authenticity to the conservation of artworks and conservation ethics.
Notes: "The conference Authenticity in Transition: Changing practices in contemporary art making and conservation held in Glasgow on 1-2 December 2014 was co-organised by Erma Hermens (University of Glasgow) and Frances Robertson (Glasgow School of Art). It represented the final stage of a three-part series of events and conferences supported by the network for conservation of contemporary art research (NECCAR) and funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Fundamental Research (NOW)"-- Page vii.
