    Francois Morellet : Œuvres anciennes, restaurations recentes.

    Abstract : Some early works by Francois Morellet have just been restored. 
    On this occasion, the artist has agreed to modify his position. Francois Morellet 
    demands a faultless appearance for his creations with their radical aesthetics, 
    even if that means executing an entirely new version of a damaged work, should 
    he consider it necessary: For some peices bearing witness to his early work he has, 
    however, adapted a more moderate approach, close to that of the museum 
    curators with whom he has sometimes clashed and with whom he has reached a 
    compromise, more concerned with historical accuracy.
    In contemporary art presentation, conservation, and restoration all benefit from 
    dialogue with the creator.
    Point of view may however diverge, with artists and institutions favouring 
    different aspects with regard to the meaning of the work.
