Any comments or recommendations on art conservationist?

[Mark Kubo]

I have a customer with fire-damaged (soot) oil painting and she is looking for a art conservationist. I don't really know where to start and how to evaluate their skills, so any input is welcome. I'm in Alaska, so it will require a ship out, ideally to someone in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington),

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

look at the AIC site, www.culturalheritage.org

Also there is the BACC - Balboa Arts Conservation Center in California - that could be of help. www.bacc.org

And there is the Canadian Conservation Institute.

Someone else may have a specific recommendation
