The Modern and Contemporary Art Research Initiative is a program started by the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI).It began in 2007 in response to the variety of new materials and technologies being used by contemporary artists in their work

And the lack of known conservation treatments for these new materials.This area was seen as a gap in the field of conservation

But also posed unique challenges when considering the intention of the artist and the physical aging that his or her materials might endure.According to Thomas F.Reese

Conservators...must enter into the critical spirit of the works themselves if they are to save and transmit not merely decontextualized fragments but their essence to the future.
