NYAC is a women-owned business founded in 2022 by the former core team of Contemporary Conservation Ltd. (see Joint Statement here ) who have worked closely together for many years. Our collective knowledge, trust, and experience is our strength, and as an equal partnership, we value a collaborative spirit and democratic exchange of ideas and professionalism. We hold our work to the highest of standards and take pride in the relationships we have developed over the years with artists and artist foundations.

Our international and multilingual team of highly skilled and specialized conservators has consistently excelled in problem-solving, finding solutions for unprecedented conservation challenges, and adjusting established treatment approaches to contemporary and non-traditional materials.

We have an innate understanding of the art market’s complexity and the specific role that conservation plays. We work closely with allied professionals and conservators in other specialities to create a full spectrum of conservation services.

In order to keep up with the latest methodologies in conservation and always strive for new heights of acquired education, we are members of and active participants in the following professional associations: AIC, AIC – CAN (founding members), ICOM-CC, INCCA, Alliance for Response NY. 

As a continuing commitment to academia, we pride ourselves in fostering relationships with New York University, the School of Visual Arts, and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Our doors are always open to the affiliates of institutions nurturing the future of conservation.
