What is EBFC?

Emily B. Frank Conservation was founded in 2017, as a flexible conservation practice. Guided by contemporary academic thinking and experience in the field, EBFC has the resources and knowledge to help with your conservation needs.

EBFC specializes in: on-site treatment and documentation of works of art, consultation on artists’ materials and production methods, and conservation management of private collections. While primarily object and sculpture focused, EBFC works with a network of collaborating conservators across specializations.
