Treatment encompasses activities carried out to alter and improve the condition of an individual work of art. Treatments vary from minor stabilization such as securing lifting paint on a painting or sculpture to major structural repairs where the work of art is separated into its major components so each can be worked on separately. The piece is then reassembled taking into consideration all aesthetic and long term stability requirements. Cleaning, removal of old restorations and compensation for losses are at times the most difficult and time consuming parts of a treatment.
