Reconstruction in art...

Abstract
Die Rekonstruktion als Mittel einer gezielten Wissenserweiterung, die auf der praktischen Anwendung historischer Materialien, Techniken und Werkzeuge beruht, hat in letzter Zeit in einer Reihe von Fächern große Bedeutung erlangt. In der Musik, der experimentellen Archäologie und der Mittelalterforschung ist die Relevanz dieser Methode auch für eine breitere Öffentlichkeit erkennbar geworden. Die kunsttechnologische Forschung praktiziert seit dem 19. Jahrhundert Rekonstruktionen auf der Grundlage kunsttechnologischer Quellen. Es werden allgemeine philosophische und wissenschaftstheoretische Überlegungen zu Rekonstruktionen vorgestellt, die mit der Rekonstruktion als einer bedeutenden empirischen Forschungsmethode in der Kunsttechnologie verbunden sind.
Eine kürzlich eingerichtete Datenbank, die Digitale Kunst-Pforte, wird beschrieben. Sie führt kunsttechnologische Quellen zusammen und liefert Informationen über historische Herstellungsprozesse wie sie in historischen Publikationen und Illustrationen überliefert sind. Sie können als eine Grundlage für moderne, wissenschaftlich begründete Rekonstruktionen dienen. Die hier vorgestellte Datenbank unterstützt die Methode der Rekonstruktion in Lehre und Forschung. Diese wird exemplarisch veranschaulicht am Beispiel der Rekonstruktion von "Kleisterpapier" nach einer historischen Rezeptur aus der Zeit um 1800.
Reconstruction as a means of furthering knowledge, based on the practical application of historical materials, techniques, and tools, has recently gained great importance in a range of subjects. In music, experimental archaeology, and medieval research the relevance of this method has also become apparent to the broader public.Art technological research has been practicing reconstructions based on art technological sources since the 19th century. General ideas on reconstructions, based on philosophy and the philosophy of science, are presented, linked to reconstruction as a signifcant empirical research method in art technology. A recently established database called the "Digitale Kunst-Pforte" is described. It brings together art technological sources and delivers information about historical manufacturing processes, predominantly derived from published books and images, as a tool for practical reconstructions. It supports reconstructions within teaching and research, illustrated by the example of students reconstructing “paste paper” after a historical recipe.

Note
Historic sources (written, oral, but also images or instruments) provide important information on artists’ materials, techniques and methods of work. At least since the Comte de Caylus‘s 18th century attempt to understand a lost artistic technique – encaustic painting – by practical experiments on the basis of Pliny’s description of that Roman art, “reconstruction” has been a valuable companion in historical and philological research of art technological sources. It was not by accident that the first symposium of the Art Technological Source Research working group held in 2004 was devoted to Sources and Reconstructions. In recent years there have been interesting developments in the methodology of reconstruction and re-enactment. New questions have been posed, new disciplines have become involved. Therefore it seems only right to focus again on this topic and the state of the art, fifteen years after the establishment of the Art Technological Source Research group.
The publications on the ICOM-CC Publications Online platform are available to individuals for private study, scholarship, and research purposes only.
