| Abstract: | This master thesis deals with the phenomenon of semidrying oil paint and liquefaction processes in contemporary oil paintings. It aims to achieve a deeper understanding of the complex processes and to show important characteristics of drying defects. Investigations and analysis of affected artworks including paintings by Jonathan Meese were carried out. The liquefaction of oil paint is primarily dependent on the paint’s composition – especially the type of oil – as well as the artist’s manner of working with this material. The main emphasis of this investigation is to examine and evaluate different treatment strategies for the subsequent curing of weeping oil paint. A heat treatment that revealed promising success for post-curing is applied on a painting and evaluated in regard to ist practical suitability as well as ethical considerations. |
