The technique, developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is portable andwas successfully used at the Carnegie Museum of Art to remove a lipstick smudge from the surface of porouspaint on the Andy Warhol painting "Bathtub." This process was also evaluated for suitability to remove felt tipand ball point ink graffiti from paper, gesso on canvas and cotton canvas. Introduction NASA Glenn Research Center has been investigating the effects of atomic oxygen interaction with mate-rials as a result of the interest in understanding materials degradation on spacecraft in low Earth orbit whereatomic oxygen is the most predominant specie. Atomic oxygen is formed in low Earth orbit through photo-dissociation of atmospheric diatomic oxygen by...

In the last several years, as more museums have acquired IR equipment, it has also served the interests of conservators and historians of various other artists and schools of painting, such as Picasso, El Greco, and Winslow Homer, among others. At the Cleveland Museum of Art, whose comprehensive collection includes objects from virtually every period of art history, the results of infrared reflectography suggest that is may be useful in the study not only of paintings from different schools, but of objects, manuscripts, and works on paper as well. The principles of infrared reflectography are described and compared with other imaging techniques.
