ABSTRACT Many buildings of the 1940s to the 1970s are decorated with monumental façade artworks. These murals, mosaics, and integral sculptural reliefs sometimes gain in cultural value even if the buildings on which they are installed do not. When a building that supports an artwork is designated for demolition, artworks whose scale and installation never accounted for future repositioning are endangered. Frequently, owners or developers are loath to consider any option besides demolishing the artworks along with the building, due to cost, or a fear that rescuing them will hold up construction. The result is great loss of iconic artworks. This paper will demonstrate conservation methods for dismantling, removing, and relocating mid-twentieth century modern architectural artworks. Case studies will include the relocation of a monumental 1963 mosaic at Houston Methodist Hospital; dismantling a 1961 brick/concrete block mural on a Miami, Florida facade; and the removal and relocation of a Millard Sheets mural in Santa Monica, California. The authors will discuss strategic approaches used to help clients understand that these endeavours are possible, as well as specific methodologies, challenges, pitfalls, budgetary considerations, and best practices for achieving results.

具有纪念意义的现代建筑艺术品搬迁的后勤挑战

摘要 1940 年代至 1970 年代的许多建筑物都装饰有纪念性的外墙艺术品。这些壁画、马赛克和整体雕塑浮雕有时会获得文化价值,即使它们所在的建筑物没有。当支持艺术品的建筑物被指定拆除时,其规模和安装从未考虑过未来重新定位的艺术品将受到威胁。通常情况下,业主或开发商不愿意考虑除了拆除艺术品和建筑物之外的任何选择,原因是成本,或者担心救援它们会阻碍施工。结果是标志性艺术品的大量流失。本文将展示拆除、移除和重新安置 20 世纪中叶现代建筑艺术品的保护方法。案例研究将包括在休斯顿卫理公会医院重新安置 1963 年巨大的马赛克;拆除佛罗里达州迈阿密外墙上的 1961 年砖/混凝土砌块壁画;移除和搬迁加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡的 Millard Sheets 壁画。作者将讨论用于帮助客户了解这些努力是可能的战略方法,以及实现结果的具体方法、挑战、陷阱、预算考虑和最佳实践。
