FR Review:
Art professionals turn to this Guggenheim-trained conservationist for a mix of "science and artistry," an important blend of talents in a field where restoring too much can be as damaging as not restoring at all. Cranmer has been in the business for over 35 years and has worked on thousands of artworks of all stripes (including over 1,200 by Mark Rothko––she was the house conservationist for his organization for six years). Because much of her experience has been on 20th century pieces, clients don't routinely bring Cranmer older works, but she relies on a dedicated staff of four experienced professionals to cover a variety of genres and periods. References report that the firm is small and casual, yet extremely professional. Sources also cite Cranmer's accessible SoHo location as a plus. Prices are said to be standard for her level of expertise.
Representative Client Comments:
"Recommend her wholeheartedly." "Specializes in 20th century stuff, the weirder and more complicated jobs." "Once I brought her a painting with a quarter-inch hole in a part that was just canvas. Somehow she rewove the canvas and you couldn't see a thing."
