Abstract

The article discusses the relevance of an ethical approach to the
conservation and restoration of works of contemporary and conceptual
art. The way in which restoration has developed over the last 50 years
has made a huge contribution to the history of art. The origins of this
new field of restoration – the restoration of contemporary art – have
been analysed in the study. Based on the experiences and examples
considered in the article, final conclusions are made and proposals
given regarding contemporary art restoration in Ukraine.
