Magnets In Conservation, Restoration and Display of Works of Art

This book represents neither a repetition nor a summary of the commonly available knowledge. It is rather a summary of the author's own focused research that organizes and clarifies a number of topics, research and measurement methodology, as well as interpretations of the measured data.

“Mrs. Zuzanna Szozda's book is innovative and very inspiring in many respects. The monograph includes the unprecedented in the literature on the subject basics of magnetism in relation to art and conservation, and in relation to the health and safety issues. Discussed and presented are also suggestions and examples of the use of magnets in non-hazardous and highly practical mounting systems, indicators or magnetic energy density and polarity (of north and south pole), as well as methods enabling the control of the force attraction, i.e. pressure.” - Dr mateusz Jasinski
