Exploring Art Conservation and the Preservation of the “Fighters for Freedom” Series

How do you preserve important paintings to ensure they last into the future? Keara Teeter, the Lunder Fellow in Paintings Conservation at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, discusses the role of an art conservator and shares her journey into the field. At SAAM, Teeter worked on the two-year process of carefully preserving artworks in William H. Johnson’s “Fighters for Freedom” series. Created in the mid-1940s and showing signs of age, she describes the painstaking steps of treating the works and the careful consideration needed in choosing materials.
