Science plays a key role in cultural heritage, from developing new analytical techniques for studying the art, to investigating new ways of preserving the materials for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollowing on from the 2014 title \u003cstrong\u003eScience and Art: The Painted Surface\u003c\/strong\u003e, this book consists of a series of chapters written together by scientists, art historians, conservators, curators and artists dedicated to conservation, execution techniques, languages and conceptual topics. \u003cstrong\u003eScience and Art: The Contemporary Painted Surface\u003c\/strong\u003e largely covers execution techniques, material's conservation and languages of artists, representative of twelve different countries, all protagonists of the development of innovative significant techniques and methodologies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book opens with a focus on widely historicized artists, such as Jackson Pollock, Lucio Fontana, Enrico Baj, Piero Manzoni and Joseph Albers. Its core is dedicated to the work of major worldwide renowned living artists, in a perspective that, while considering the Sixties as the historical starting point of contemporaneity, does not neglect to offer a view on the work done in the immediately preceding years.
