Restoration service? 0

[Peter L]

Hi,

I saw a thread in this group before on an article on restoration and it had possible vendors that can do this.  I'm looking to get tape and an adhesive sticker removed professionally.  Does anyone know where that article can be found or have any recommendations in the LA area?

I do recall one of the restorers listed the Getty Center as a reference.

Thanks!

The other prominent expert is Gordon Christman - he is in SoCal

I've dealt with Robert Dennis and he's terrific. I don't know the other gentleman.

What I would not recommend is someone who isn't skilled at OA restoration.

Robert Dennis has done fabulous work for me and is very professional. I highly recommend him

I would add that most major museums know of paper conservators. You might want to contact someone at a local museum and see if there is a conservator close to you.
