NEDCC Hosts Kress Conservation Fellowship in Asian Paintings *********************************************** NEDCC's 2015-2016 Kress Conservation Fellow in Asian Paintings is Amy Chen, a graduate of Tainan National University of the Arts, where she earned an MA in Restoration of Letters, Cultural Relics, and Eastern Paintings. The Conservation Fellowship is made possible by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and administered by the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC). Amy Chen's fellowship training provides an advanced level of expertise in the field of Asian Painting Conservation, and helps develop judgement and flexibility in treating a variety of objects and artifacts in all media on paper, including Asian scrolls (kakejiku), screen (byobu), prints (ukiyo-e) and Japanese or Chinese bound volumes. NEDCC and the Nisho Conservation Studio (NCS) in Washington DC have partnered to provide quality care and professional conservation treatment of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean art. The partnership has made NEDCC and Nishio Conservation Studio an ideal training opportunity for conservators specializing in Asian Art. Traditional techniques and craftsmanship are combined with modern scientific analysis and conservation procedures to merge Asian aesthetics with Western technology while conforming to the ethics and standards of practice of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC).
