I guess we should be glad that the research was mentioned

According to”Why a Painter’s Yellows Aren’t So Yellow Anymore”, a short piece by Katherine Kornei in the "Observatory" column of the Science Times section of the October 3, 2023 issue of The New York Times, paint fades. Even modern paint fades-- and particularly cadmium yellow paint. She notes that  Spanish art conservators studied the fading of various cadmium yellow paints used by Joan Miro during the 1970s and published their findings in the journal, Heritage Science. Kornei's piece is illustrated by a nice photograph of Miro sitting in front of a couple of his paintings which contain yellow. Although I was hoping for more about the findings of the study, I guess we should be glad that the research was mentioned.       #ConservationintheNews
