Hugh Phibbs

Hugh Phibbs worked in the Conservation Division of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, for more than three decades, in the Paper Lab and the Department of Loans and Exhibitions. This allowed him to work with some of the leading conservators, to advance hinging, hinge-free support, deep matting, and enclosure of works on paper and panel paintings. He has taught preservation classes for the PPFA, the AIC, the conservation programs at Winterthur and at Buffalo State, The Smithsonian, The INP in Paris, The CCL in Arles, The Hermitage in St. Petersburg, The Getty in LA, and The Met and MoMA in New York. He has written for the JAIC and the Book and Paper Group Annual, and has published preservation supplements and the Practical Preservation column, in Picture Framing Magazine. He was awarded The University Products Lifetime Achievement Award and is a Professional Associate of the AIC.
