As a professional artist and former museum director, in 2010, I was asked to curate the Collins Center Instituteʼs art collection. This eclectic collection consisted of sculptures, paintings, antique books, and prints. The paper prints were from the late 1800s through the 1920s and had been part of a large private collection in Austria. They had been stored in Florida without air conditioning for many years, and most appeared to be beyond recovery.

Mrs. Ana Candioti, a professional art restorer, was in the United States at the time, and I asked her for her professional opinion on the feasibility of restoring the 189 prints. After a thorough study, she decided they were salvageable, but that it would take a good six months to do so. I agreed that I should proceed with restoring the prints.

Ms. Candioti set up a lab with specially designed trays to accommodate the prints and larger devices to produce handmade paper to repair tears and holes in the damaged prints. These repairs were a perfect match for the paper of the original prints, including texture and color.

Ms. Candioti also restored eight of the collectionʼs oil paintings, which suffered from severe flaking and pigment loss. Nearly all of the paintings required extensive cleaning. One of these dates from 1640 and was significantly improved after Ms. Candiotiʼs restoration.

On my recommendation, Ms. Candioti was hired to restore an important mural on an Art-Deco building in Miami Beach, which she accomplished with great success.

Mrs. Candioti kept a careful record of the work she did on each of the prints so that the Institute would have a complete history for future reference.

All of Ms. Candiotiʼs work was of excellent quality, highly professional, and meticulously executed. The entire collection recently sold at a very good price.

I highly recommend Ms. Candioti for any type of art restoration project.
