| | English translation:comparative protocols | Explanation:
Art restorers or conservators have to establish protocols for treatment of artworks. The key thing to realise is that damage or deterioration in artworks is not static and is a continuing process and restorers/conservators need to know how to deal with this and make provision for it.
This does sound like training or possibly a conference format where students/presenters are asked to present their research in poster form - quite often used instead of giving papers and showing images.
Whether what is being demonstrated on these posters is alternative treatment protocols for dealing with some specific issue or monitoring change over time, I cannot say from the information given.

But while the neo-technological dimension has just begun to have consideration in literature, there are some topics in international Preservation and Conservation debate, some recurring hindrances and issues that combine themselves to questioning present theoretical tools, forged by aesthetics too much concerned in recovering the exact meaning and/or the genuine artist’s intention, securing the original condition. In such a scenario, contradictions often come up: artwork as historical product but atemporal; as material artifact but of an ideal sense; as blurry synthesis of all these aspects or tensive state induced by their differences. This should push towards testing common definitions now in use; in fact, to refer at merely nominalistic or conventionalist notions is an ever impending risk. Hence, the primary goal is achieving a conceptual base for an effective and updated conservation protocol.

This summer we will be partnering with conservation scientist Eric Doehne to conduct research into aspects of stone deterioration of the garden statuary at the Huntington Library. We will be looking at severe erosion and the effects of a misguided 1950s effort to consolidate 18th century Italian garden statuary using a slurry of concrete over degraded stone surfaces. This research has been requested by Catherine Hess, the Huntington's chief curator of European and British art, as a means of revamping the maintenance and conservation protocol for all the stone statuary, urns, tempiettos (or is it tempietti?) at the Huntington. The results of this study will dovetail with our investigative work at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, FL

hi, sinolig, I think Vergleichsprotokolle is a contracted term. These are xx (treatment/conservation?) protocols being compared. I doubt ENG would have a comparative term, we would just construct the sentence differently. |

"comparative documentation" may be even more appropriate

Asker: This is indeed, as usual, a very well thought-out answer, but I'm a little concerned that the expression 'comparative protocols' doesn't turn up anywhere on the Internet in an art/restoration context. I'm torn between your answer and 'comparative documentation'. Hmmm.
