Julian: “Since they fessed up... I won’t rake them over the coals.” Also Julian: “Suffice it to say.... that, in and of itself, was a fundamental failure.”
For real, Julian is so nice. The most you'll ever hear out of him is 'lousy', or 'inappropriate'. I'm pretty sure he was saying that the epoxy had fundamentally failed, not the owners.
There is a weird dichotomy between an artist who will pick angles, colors and materials on an inspirational whim, and a conservationist who has to work with those whims as Law.
I love that he's trying to justify why he's not conserving a painting. I'll let you in on a secret boss: if you chose to conserve graffiti on a wall, I would watch the hell out of it.
I would love a mini-series about how to protect current art hanging or on display in our own homes. For example, last year my hubby bought me an oil painting as the artist passed away suddenly. So I’d love to know how to keep it looking good for as long as possible. So one for each type of paint, type of art, or whatever you would like art owners who care to know.
As an artist, cleaning the grime every month with a soft towel and should do. Over time you could get an artist to check on the condition of the varnish..and apply when necessary.
If you look on the american institute for art conservation website, there's actually a mini series about how to conserve your own artifacts, such as pictures, paintings, etc. I just learned about this in my art conservation class (I'm an art conservation major), they're trying to make this readily available to everyone so we can all take care of our own treasures! Lmk if you cant find it and Ill link it
@@shreyasshankar4109 It depends on the varnish, I would have a conservator look it over because an oil varnish can already be damaging to a painting, let alone if you continue to reapply it, such as yellowing or damaging the paint under the varnish
I know, right? I mean, couldn't Julian have found some way of working the vacuum table in there? And jeez, there should have been an isolation layer. Schoolboy error. 🤣
Yeah, the blue and white one in the lower right did not get the Baumgartner treatment. I bet the owners will bring the sculpture back with the blue white appendage in a few years' time.
I think he's really nice even pretending they have an option. If it were my line of work, I'd be insisting that cleaning is mandatory for any piece that will be conserved. Other than the issues that Julian's mentioned a zillion times re trying to conserve over something that's grubby, what if it's carrying mould spores or pests or something smelly that might affect the other works stored on the premises? I mean, obviously the cleaning should be proportionate to the dirtiness of the piece, and I can't imagine it costs too many extra $$$ to go over something with a mild detergent and some q-tips, ahem, cotton swabs.
SwimmingInSunlight They elected themselves conservators when they decided to attempt repair on the sculpture. Doubly so allowing Julian to make a video about it.
Since you said this was a young piece, I looked up Kohlmeyer and saw that she died in 1997, but it made me wonder if you've ever worked on a painting by a living artist and had the chance to talk to them about it. I can imagine there might be a conflict of interest there, but it could also be really beneficial to understanding the painting's process and structure if it was made with unusual materials. Or perhaps worked on a piece that was previously conserved by the artist themself? Is that a thing that happens? (Watching your videos has made me want to go back and work on some of my old paintings from high school, like varnish them and maybe give them a more stable backing, lol)
@@sunscreen7205 - Pretty much - his voice could convince me up was down and that I was dreaming the current great toilet roll famine. So yeah, I now have a teeny amount of faith in humanity too. 😉
I didn't like the sculpture at all, just personal taste, but I still watched to listen to Julien, and the process is always interesting no matter what.
Agreed. Since he knew... comically dwelled upon...and shared that gory detail about the fate of the art-piece in back seat of the car, and consdering how he humourously described the "negotiation" about the cleaning, I got a sneaky suspicion that the "artist" was actually a close family member.🤔

he probably did it because he didn't trust the surface enough. if the irreversible epoxy wasn't used, he could probably have just glued them together. so, in a way, it's still the epoxy's fault. bad epoxy. >:^(
@cowtriks (i know you were just making a light-hearted joke, but i also just wanted to share my insight below so hope you don't mind) i also find it kinda funny and ironic that he would drill into the sculpture because it's just as irreversible as the epoxy, but compared to the epoxy, i think at least the drilling had a more useful purpose which was to add dowels, making the sculpture more structurally secure. the epoxy isn't even strong enough to hold the pieces, and it just leaves a mess to clean up.
The owners had that piece of junk in the back of their car for years. I doubt they cared if he drilled into it. Furthermore, the sculptor should have done that to begin with. This piece was probably created in your grandma’s arts and crafts class.

Julian: "Silicone clamping straps" Me: That's 100% bondage tape! I won't kink shame. ;) I know this because board gamers use "bondage tape" to wrap around decks of cards because it only sticks to itself, not the cards.
But now we know the appropriate search term to buy it without the 10-times markup you pay when someone cuts it up into 20 m lengths, slaps some packaging over it with mildly offensive sexist imagery, calls it "BoNdaGE tAPe", and you go buy it in the horrible "adult" store in the dodgy area of town. Exactly the same as they do with rope (yes, there's some beautiful professionally treated rope I'll pay extra for, but not the garbage people buy wrapped in plastic in adult stores. Just go to the hardware or ship supply stores)
Yeah, it looks like a rich client's 8-year-old granddaughter's art project, but think of it as economic artistry. What was the cost in raw materials for that item? Now look at the wealth Ida Kohlmeyer generated with it. Somebody paid real cash money for that thing, probably through an agent and gallery that both got money for displaying the thing and managing the transaction. The buyer then paid somebody else to make a pedestal to put it on, then spent money on epoxy to attempt a home repair, then paid Julian to do an expert repair, and Julian uploaded the video of fixing it to his sponsored and monetized TH-cam channel. Can you generate that kind of wealth from that value in raw materials? I know I can't.
Most art purchases are just undercover money laundering. Obviously that sculpture looks stupid and is not worth whatever the price is, its just a way to transfer wealth sneakily.
@@TheDoctaSwag while it's very true the price of an art piece is most often artificially inflated for tax avoidance and money laundering. I don't think that means it inherently has no value, or would have no value if it weren't for art snobbiness. Tbh I'd bring that thing home if I found it in the gutter. Or at a thrift store. I have brought things home from thrift stores that look like that. I love the colors, I like how it looks like Disney's superstar limo God trash. If I may point you to a interesting video, look up T.B. Skyens ducktape banana video. Has a good commentary on weighing artificial value vs personal value
I like this sculpture though. It’s not something I would buy for myself, but it’s apparent that the artist has a command of form, color, and design that your average 8-year-old does not yet have.
I've started watching The Repair Shop on Netflix, but I've watched so many of these videos that I keep wondering if they've remembered to use fully reversible materials on the things they're fixing.
@@robertstallard7836 So weird, I spent the whole video wondering why something that looks like a primary school project is considered fine art worth this much effort to restore...
Kind of a dream come true because I've always wanted to see you work a contemporary piece. PLEASE make videos with contemporary paintings, I'm still so curious about how are things done to conserve the diverse mediums, materials and textures!!!!

Me, starting to watch this latest installment whilst making my children's dinner. Realising that it's not the usual content "hold up, this requires my full attention. I shall save it for bed and quiet time." Hello fellow subscribers from bonny Scotland 😊
Me, an artist working in acryllic paints: Is acryllics really that hard to clean/restore? Should I start dabbeling in oil paints? I don't want to varnish my paintings! Is that a thing one should be doing? Why haven't I painted in so long? *goes off to bake or sew* This social distanceing is really getting to me.
Damn if you don't do the smoothest sponsorship transitions out there. You also give proper time to describe the sponsor products rather than just "Here is Squarespace, check them out."
To be fair, they’re paid for a lot more than just a shout out to the company, most often the sponsor will send out a script format that the creator works with to fit with their style and brand, obviously the transitions are all him but the majority of the advertising tag lines do come from the company themselves
@@nathanwashington9784 Fair, but I have seen sponsorships from artists where I am wondering how much they were actually paid because it just feels so out of place in the video and so short. Julian almost gives a proper infomercial.
I'd seen this sculpture in the background of another video, didn't know what it was, and it had been eating away at me since. so now I finally have some closure !!!
Thank you so much for doing what you do. I’m a mixed media artist myself, and I love watching how you restore paintings, and this was a surprise to see.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on paintings framed behind glass, I only own two paintings both of which are behind museum conservation UV protection glass, however, I have no idea whether they have varnish on them. Do you think glass is enough to protect a painting (assuming it's up to a good standard), or do you think that just a varnish is better/equally as good? As an aside; as a painter myself, in two hundred years when I'm dead and my paintings are grimy, discoloured and old, I hope someone who cares as much as you do conserves them.
That's so interesting, I really loved seeing you work in a different dimension, but seeing how similar the process is, and how you adapt your tools for the different mediums used... It's absolutely fascinating, thank you!!
For all those critics: a child could not make this. Working with wood is waaaay more complicated than you think and you can not just make something this cool without knowing the material.
If I hadn’t already been in love with your channel, seeing you use QoR watercolors (one of my favorite WC brands so worth the cost) made me love it just a little more.
This was a great video to watch. My father was a carpenter and a master, in my opinion, at rebuilding damaged wood furniture and I loved to watch him work. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Aren't we all? I'm just starting week 5 of total lockdown due to me being high risk - anyone else with me? Any other confinees doing the long confine? Just want to say we're doing GOOD! And this sculpture was WEIRD. Sorry, but it was - and he was amazing fixing it.
Part of the reason I watch your videos is because I really like how you explain things, the tone of your voice, and how proper your speech is, so when you said “but not the pew pew kind” I laughed SO hard.

The buyer then paid somebody else to make a pedestal to put it on, then spent money on epoxy to attempt a home repair, then paid Julian to do an expert repair, and Julian uploaded the video of fixing it to his sponsored and monetized TH-cam channel. Can you generate that kind of wealth from that value in raw materials? I know I can't.
That’s a very meta and interesting take!
Most art purchases are just undercover money laundering. Obviously that sculpture looks stupid and is not worth whatever the price is, its just a way to transfer wealth sneakily.
@@TheDoctaSwag So it was truly economic art.
@@TheDoctaSwag while it's very true the price of an art piece is most often artificially inflated for tax avoidance and money laundering. I don't think that means it inherently has no value, or would have no value if it weren't for art snobbiness. Tbh I'd bring that thing home if I found it in the gutter. Or at a thrift store. I have brought things home from thrift stores that look like that. I love the colors, I like how it looks like Disney's superstar limo God trash.
If I may point you to a interesting video, look up T.B. Skyens ducktape banana video. Has a good commentary on weighing artificial value vs personal value
I like this sculpture though. It’s not something I would buy for myself, but it’s apparent that the artist has a command of form, color, and design that your average 8-year-old does not yet have.
It looks more alive by the end :) what a strange but charming sculpture.
I've started watching The Repair Shop on Netflix, but I've watched so many of these videos that I keep wondering if they've remembered to use fully reversible materials on the things they're fixing.
That’s segway to the SquareSpace ad was Julien Solomita levels of smooth
So weird to see a comment about Julien on a Baumgartner Restoration video!
J Li lmaooo I listen to their podcasts all the time, and I love their videos sm. I’m glad that someone else understood my reference haha
I was literally thinking "wait, are hella smooth transitions a guy-named-Julien thing?" Lol
its segue, segway is the weird two wheel scooter thing
Koganusan lmaooo I didn’t even know there was a word for that. Thank u!!!
I instantly recognized this artist. My University had a exhibition of hers for a while, and it was always so fun to walk past/through every week.
Right? Her work is so funky and colorful. It always brings a smile to my face!
@@makaylaserniotti1474 Honestly, it's very nostalgic because it reminded me of colorful sets from the tv shows I watched as a kid.
Saraphim that’s actually very cool
Why are the shapes drawn like a child would? Is that part of it?
@@robertstallard7836 So weird, I spent the whole video wondering why something that looks like a primary school project is considered fine art worth this much effort to restore...
If Julian says something is *really* expensive, it must be really expensive... Don’t even want to know how much that paint costs he used there
Tex I found a set of 24 of these for $75 online if that gives you a reference point
That's not even that expensive!
I found a set on amazon cause I was also curious and it was 250$
@@AStrumxo Don't be fooled by fakes! it happens with makeup all the time, the originals are probably as Izzy found, 250 dollars and up.
I'm pretty sire they are more expensive than the five dollar Crayola 16 color set.
The art restorer motto should be: 'Not altering the past. Not hindering the future'
julian: clean the sculpture
client: no not dusty
julian: (cleans it himself) nasty. dirty. disgusting. you should be ASHAMED. >:(((
This one was on another dimension.
Take your damn like you clever bastard.
Me trying to explain to my friends when the notification came through why this was exciting: LISTEN HE IS RESTORING A S C U L P T U R E THIS TI-
"Likely an eoxy bought at a hardware store." The artist in me groans, but the pragmatist budget keeper in me is nodding.
Kind of a dream come true because I've always wanted to see you work a contemporary piece. PLEASE make videos with contemporary paintings, I'm still so curious about how are things done to conserve the diverse mediums, materials and textures!!!!
You truly respect the artist’s work. It’s just so relaxing to listen to your explanations, thx so much for sharing.
TH-cam: recommends video over and over.
Me I don’t have any interest in art restoration TH-cam get lost.
Me: after 5000th time scrolling through recommended. FINE ok I will watch it!
Me 5 minutes in: Ooooo I like Art Restoration and this guys voice. Thank you TH-cam!
TH-cam knows your heart better than you do.
yank vi lol apparently! I completely fell down the rabbit hole of his channel. Saying aloud Wow oh Wow oh My wow! Lol
Welcome
Jane Morrow Thank you very much.
I feel like this is how a lot of us found him 😄
I started spacing out and when you said "I'm in big trouble" at 11:14 the panic was palpable
Me, starting to watch this latest installment whilst making my children's dinner. Realising that it's not the usual content "hold up, this requires my full attention. I shall save it for bed and quiet time."
Hello fellow subscribers from bonny Scotland 😊
Hallo! Scottish gang
hey man, Scottish gang!
Me, an artist working in acryllic paints: Is acryllics really that hard to clean/restore? Should I start dabbeling in oil paints? I don't want to varnish my paintings! Is that a thing one should be doing? Why haven't I painted in so long? *goes off to bake or sew*
This social distanceing is really getting to me.
hahaha
I love Ida Kohlmeyer. It's a delight to see you restoring one of her sculptures. Would love to hear more of the car story.
Damn if you don't do the smoothest sponsorship transitions out there.
You also give proper time to describe the sponsor products rather than just "Here is Squarespace, check them out."
K. P. I was thinking the same thing! Like “damn Julian that was smooth as Hell, you slid AND out of that plug so good!”
To be fair, they’re paid for a lot more than just a shout out to the company, most often the sponsor will send out a script format that the creator works with to fit with their style and brand, obviously the transitions are all him but the majority of the advertising tag lines do come from the company themselves
Him and Julien solomita are the best at Segways, maybe it’s a Julien thing haha
If this were the Cold War, Julian could slip in and out of the USSR any time he wanted, and nobody would be any the wiser 🤣
@@nathanwashington9784 Fair, but I have seen sponsorships from artists where I am wondering how much they were actually paid because it just feels so out of place in the video and so short. Julian almost gives a proper infomercial.
"with a little warm water it can be removed"
my dumb ass: "but what if the client takes it in the shower"
Not so dumb, they aparently chucked it in the backseat of the car. I wouldn't put it past them. "Julien *DID* say to keep ot clean...."
Ickyneko LKH lmao true,,,
I was mid inhale when I read this and I just burst out laughing
That's so cool seeing an abstract sculpture being conserved! I love the paintings but this was a nice and welcome change.
I'd seen this sculpture in the background of another video, didn't know what it was, and it had been eating away at me since. so now I finally have some closure !!!
Thank you so much for doing what you do. I’m a mixed media artist myself, and I love watching how you restore paintings, and this was a surprise to see.
‘Not the pew pew kind’
Finally someone who speaks my language
I'd love to hear your thoughts on paintings framed behind glass, I only own two paintings both of which are behind museum conservation UV protection glass, however, I have no idea whether they have varnish on them. Do you think glass is enough to protect a painting (assuming it's up to a good standard), or do you think that just a varnish is better/equally as good? As an aside; as a painter myself, in two hundred years when I'm dead and my paintings are grimy, discoloured and old, I hope someone who cares as much as you do conserves them.
That's so interesting, I really loved seeing you work in a different dimension, but seeing how similar the process is, and how you adapt your tools for the different mediums used... It's absolutely fascinating, thank you!!
Looks like something a kid would bring home from arts and crafts day.
Yes.
True, it’s that mixed with hard hallucinogenic drugs.
For all those critics: a child could not make this. Working with wood is waaaay more complicated than you think and you can not just make something this cool without knowing the material.
At first I thought this was a April Fools joke. Enjoyed the video and art is subjective
Wow! You've ascended to the third dimension!
And we with him.
Only so long before he takes another step and reaches the fourth dimension.
Secret he doesn’t want us to know: he OWNS squarespace
If I hadn’t already been in love with your channel, seeing you use QoR watercolors (one of my favorite WC brands so worth the cost) made me love it just a little more.
This was a great video to watch. My father was a carpenter and a master, in my opinion, at rebuilding damaged wood furniture and I loved to watch him work. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Before Covid: Alright let’s do another painting
After Covid: SCULPTURE TIME
Wana2dmax Max I dont think it’s over yet..
I have been isolated for so long that everything is an innuendo now
Even Baumgartner got bored in quarentine
Aren't we all? I'm just starting week 5 of total lockdown due to me being high risk - anyone else with me? Any other confinees doing the long confine? Just want to say we're doing GOOD! And this sculpture was WEIRD. Sorry, but it was - and he was amazing fixing it.
hearing julian say "pew pew" is something i never knew i needed
Part of the reason I watch your videos is because I really like how you explain things, the tone of your voice, and how proper your speech is, so when you said “but not the pew pew kind” I laughed SO hard.
