About Us
Patt Conservation provides sculpture conservation, public art maintenance, and object conservation services throughout the western United States and nationwide. Founded in California in 2017, our team of four, including two conservators and two conservation technicians, serves public, private, and institutional clients.
Our treatments are informed by current conservation research and supported by carefully selected materials, techniques, and tools.
What sets us apart is our collaborative philosophy. We work closely with art stewards to develop tailored solutions that prioritize the artwork's integrity while meeting your specific needs.
