Behind the Studio

Novak Studios is dedicated to the meticulous treatment, assessment, and long-term care of modern and contemporary art on paper. We are committed to enhancing the historical, educational, and financial value of each artwork entrusted to us, ensuring that it can be appreciated by future generations. Through a combination of advanced conservation techniques and in-depth research, our New York City-based team of highly skilled paper conservators provides comprehensive care that reflects the unique character of each piece.

Our approach to conservation is grounded in a deep understanding of both the materials and the creative context of the art and the artist. By integrating this knowledge into our work, we preserve not only the physical integrity of the artwork but also its cultural and artistic significance. Our specialists employ cutting-edge treatment methods tailored to the specific needs of each object, from cleaning and stabilization to repair and preventive care, always striving to respect the original vision of the artist while ensuring the long-term viability of the work.

At Novak Studios, we believe that the care of modern and contemporary art on paper is not just a technical process but a responsibility—one that requires a thoughtful balance of expertise, craftsmanship, and dedication to preserving the legacy of these invaluable works of art.
