Paul Messier

Conservationist of photographs and works on Paper

Paul Messier established a conservation practice in Boston, Massachusetts in 1995, which provides conservation services for private andinstitutional clients throughout the world. He received an AB in Art History from Vassar College and an MA and CAS in the conservation of works of art on paper from the State University College in Buffalo. He has conducted advanced training and research at the Atelier de Restauration des Photographies in Paris in 1990 and at the Conservation Analytical Laboratory of the Smithsonian Institution in 1991 The current and sustaining focus of his practice is the conservation treatment of photographic materials and works of art on paper. Over the course of the past several years, Mr. Messier has performed major conservation surveys for the Denver Art Museum, the Davis Art Museum at Wellesley College, the Marthas Vineyard Historical Society, the Peabody Museum at Harvard University, the Carnegie Museum, and the Weissman Preservation Center at Harvard University. He is currently directing a project to survey the photograph collections at The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia which is support by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Recent research projects include the assembly and cataloguing of a reference collection for 20th century photographic papers and the development of an authentication methodology for photographs attributed to Lewis Hine. This project resulted in a method applicable for dating 20th century photographic papers and has received extensive coverage including articles in ARTnews, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly and The Economist. Profiled in the March 2008 issue of ARTnews, the studios reference collection and work characterizing photographic prints were described -- “The advances will reduce fraud, influence the marketplace, and even revise art history."
