Our Mission
Blache Art Conservation Group (BACG) is a private conservation practice based in New York City, dedicated to the care, preservation, and treatment of Old Masters, 19th Century, Modern, Post-War, and Contemporary artworks.
We believe that every work of art deserves thoughtful, informed, and respectful care.
Our company collaborates with independent conservators who specialize in the treatment and structural repair of paintings, sculptures, objects, and mixed media. In addition, we work closely with a trusted network of experts in paper, photographic, and textile conservation, ensuring comprehensive care for collections with diverse material needs.
Our research-driven, customized approach to each project draws on the latest developments in conservation science and current industry best practices. When appropriate, we engage directly with living artists or their representatives to ensure treatments align with the original materials, processes, and intent of the artwork.
