Gregg Perry's Cuban Conservation Trip


On December 4th Gregg Perry embarked on a monumental research excursion in Cuba lasting until the 12th. Traveling with 35 other members of the “American Institute for Conservation (A.I.C.)”, the trips objective was to analyize the state of conservation and restoration in the areas of decorative arts, fine arts and architecture. Perry was the resident expert in wood, its surface finishes and horology for the trip.Perry and his colleges are professional members in good standing with the A.I.C.. They engaged in a full time schedule of professional non-commercial, academic research in 3 Cuban cities in the field of conservation and historic preservation. Their research consisted of meetings with non-governmental members of conservation institutions, trade and cultural organizations and individual non affiliated professionals in the field, as well as other travel related activities. The research that the group compiled will have a high likelihood of dissemination through the A.I.C. organization and also each participant’s individual practices.  This trip was authorized under the general license granted to qualified professionals based in the United States by government regulations.
