Restoration of concrete sculpture
Červinka, Josef ; Říhová, Vladislava
Much attention is paid in contemporary domestic and foreign research to the rehabilitation of concrete, but it is mostly focused on architectural works and their surfaces. Concentrated research into conservation and restoration strategies of smaller sculptural works is unique. The aim of the presented historic preservation procedure was to verify on a reference project (Alois Šutera’s sculpture Hudebník (Musician) from 1965 in Přerov cemetery) a method of the repair of a concrete sculpture that would fulfil as much as possible the conditions for the rehabilitation of concrete structures and was carried out in accordance with the restoration of sculptures of inorganic materials under preservation care. An innovative surface treatment technique has been used during the restoration of the sculpture, which might lead in the future to efficient protection without considerable aesthetic changes and obliteration of traces proving the existence of the work in time. The aim of the technique based on mineral coating is to fill small cracks and larger pores in the surface of the sculpture without erasing the surface structure that enables the readability of earlier, possibly partially authorial additions.

Methodology of preventive protection and exploration of laminate sculptures in exterior
Knotek, Vítězslav ; Červinka, Josef ; Křenková, Zuzana ; Říhová, Vladislava
The methodology is focused on preventive protection and exploration of polyester laminate sculptures placed in exterior. The introduction of the methodology briefly describes the history of development and use of polyester resins in Czechoslovakia. The characteristic damage occurring on laminate sculptures was described. The next part presents methods and procedures of field and laboratory research of laminate sculptures, which is evidenced by example studies. At the end of the methodology, suitable methods of preventive preservation and protection are discussed to maximize the lifetime of laminate sculptures.
