Product description
Translation and introduction: Ryszard Kasperowicz
The book is one of four anthologies devoted to the protection and conservation of monuments, published in 2012 by the Wilanów Palace Museum. In addition to the volume ‘Alois Riegl, Georg Dehio and the Cult of Monuments’, the following were published: Kazimierz odnowiony [‘Kazimierz Renewed’], Wokół Wawelu [‘Around the Wawel’] and Zabytek i historia [‘Monument and History’]. We would like to remind you of one of the loudest debates on the problems of monument protection, held in the 19th and early 20th centuries among outstanding art historians and conservators. Let the texts, which focus on various threads – artistic, philosophical, ideological and technical – speak for themselves. We believe that knowledge of what underlies the contemporary practice of protecting and caring for monuments is necessary for all people involved in both of these management processes, which are identical in terms of subject matter, but often motivated and understood differently in terms of effect. We would like to remind you that their common feature should be a deeply considered and justified respect for the achievements of past generations and the needs of future generations..
