- Résumé
- This study explores the effects of temperature and humidity changes on oil paintings with the photographic emulsion Liquid Light). this project's aim was to determine if fluctuations in relative humidity and temperature would cause shrinking, cracking, delamination or flaking of the photographic emulsion. Information on this subject was gathered through communication with artists, the available literature and from the manufacturer of Liquid Light . Miniature mock-up samples were made using materials similar to those works exhibiting deterioration, and subjected to a range of temperatures and relative humidities comparable to those found in non-controlled environments. Results found that changes in humidity where temperature is a constant had little effect on the emulsion, and limited overall deterioration. The cycling of temperature, on the other hand, showed substantial effect on the emulsion and coatings, with cracking and delaminating, and blooming the most apparent.
