BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

Virginia Norton (Ginny) Naudé was a conservator who specialized in the treatment of sculptures and other objects made of stone, terracotta, wood, plaster, and metals.  She graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1960, majoring in art history.  From 1971-1976, she was an apprentice in metalwork and sculpture conservation at the Victoria and Albert Museum. 

 

Naudé was president of Norton Art Conservation, a firm located in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania.  She was a fellow of the International Institute for Conservation (IIC) and the American Institute for Conservation (AIC).  She wrote papers and gave talks on conservation, and was co-author of the AIC publication Guide to the Maintenance of Outdoor Sculpture.  She edited Sculptural Monuments in an Outdoor Environment, published by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts following a conference on that topic.  Among her clients, she numbered the United States government, museums, historical institutions, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), as well as private individuals.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

Collection includes survey and treatment reports and photographs of many of the conservation projects which Virginia Naudé and her company Norton Art Conservation undertook on sculptures, relief panels, and other objects.  Major clients were the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA); the University of Pennsylvania; the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission; Philadelphia City Hall; the United States government, for whom she worked on a number of projects in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere; Amtrak’s 30th Street Station in Philadelphia; plus other museums, historic institutions, and private clients.  She worked on sculptures by many artists, including Thomas Eakins and William Rush.  The reports usually include her assessment of the problem and the treatment rendered, plus recommendations for maintenance of the pieces.  Many of the files include slides and photographs; as well, additional slides are found in Series IV.  A few files deal with her work with the American Institute for Conservation (AIC), particularly her participation in the symposium which led to the publication of Guide to the Maintenance of Outdoor Sculpture.  Other files that deal with the conservation of outdoor sculptures are found under the heading “Bronze Conference.”  There were several of these at which the issues of conservation were discussed; several reports were issued as a result of these meetings.
