The theme of pigment changes in painting and setting layers is very important in restorative everyday life, because pigment changes can fundamentally transform the original colour effect of a painting or setting and thus massively interfere with the artistic statement. This means that e.g. convert the pigment Mennige into lead oxide, which turns former bright red areas brown to black. In extreme cases, pigment changes even lead to significant colour loss. Backconversion is only possible in very rare cases and ethically questionable. Binders and coatings must be taken into account because they often cannot be separated from pigment transformations and altered colour effects. How do restorers deal with the problem? The volume focuses on material science analysis and the restorative handling of the changes.
