Abstract
The presence of zinc oxide oil paint and the condition problems observed in a group of paintings from the collection of the hirshhorn Museum and sculpture garden prompted analytical examination of the museum's mid-20th century holdings. results reveal a link between upper layer deterioration and underlying zinc oxide paint layers, and suggest that certain visible signs of deterioration may signal the presence of more serious and widespread condition problems. the popularity of zinc oxide house paint among mid-century artists creates a higher probability of this type of deterioration in works from this period.
