Conservation of América Tropical

Documentation

Photodocumentation of the mural was performed in 1990 by photographer, Nancy Kaye in conjunction with the first phase of conservation. This was followed by a complete digital capture and tiling of the mural in 1993 by GCI Fellow, Eric Lange.
Over time, the GCI has monitored and recorded the condition of the mural. In 1997, 2002, and 2012, condition assessments of the mural by GCI conservators and documentation specialists were performed.
