Abstract

A study on conservation of outdoor painted sculptures has begun to receive attention as increasing numbers of the sculptures, but it is still in an early stage in South Korea. In the case of a painted outdoor object which has been exhibited in National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), 'Black nana' produced by Niki de Saint Phalle in 1964, deterioration was observed, such as flaking and discolouration of paint layers due to ultraviolet light and a sudden temperature change during an outdoor exhibition. For this reason, prior to treatment of the sculpture, to find out the painting techniques and materials applied, cross section, FT-IR, Raman and Py-GC/Mass were conducted. As a result, the type and colour of the paint agree with results of the other studies as well as deterioration pattern. It is expected that the results of this study will be utilized for treatment proposal and conservation material selection of 'Black nana'. In addition, to determine the artist's intention of the artist, cooperation with the foundation of Niki de Saint Phalle and artist's assistants will be carried out.

현대 미술품 중 페인팅 된 야외 조각품의 수량이 증가함에 따라 보존처리에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으나 아직은 초기단계이다. 국립현대미술관 과천관 야외조각공원에 전시되었던 니키 드 생팔(Niki de Saint Phalle)의 '검은 나나(Black Nana, 1964년)'는 야외전시로 인하여 작품 표면 페인트층의 박락 및 열화가 진행되었으며, 이로 인해 보존처리가 요구되었다. 보존처리를 시행하기에 앞서 '검은 나나'에 사용된 페인트의 성분 및 종류를 알아보기 위하여 단면관찰, FT-IR, Raman, Py-GC/Mass 분석을 실시하였으며, 해외 선행연구 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, '검은 나나'에 사용된 페인트 종류 및 색상은 해외 선행연구 결과와 일치하였으며, 손상 유형 역시 유사함을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 '검은 나나' 보존처리에 필요한 재료선정 및 보존처리 방법에 있어서 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 보존처리 시 작가의 재단 및 어시스턴트 등과의 협력을 통해 작가의 제작의도를 정확하게 파악하여 작품의 원본성을 존중한 보존처리가 진행될 것으로 기대된다.
