Refer to conservator report for repair estimates. 1. Aqua Caliente Woman Bi-annual cleaning. Work will be thoroughly cleaned with a 2% orvus solution mixed in distilled water. The bronze will receive a coat of renaissance microcrystalline wax to seal the patina to offer continued protection from sun and environment. Current condition: Bronze was dry and waxing greatly improved the surface, recommended biannual cleaning. $am 2. Young Basketmaker Bi-annual cleaning. Work will be thoroughly cleaned with a 2% orvus solution mixed in distilled water. The bronze will receive a coat of renaissance microcrystalline wax to seal the patina to offer continued protection from sun and environment. Current condition: The piece is in excellent condition, with the wax layer holding up extremely well even in areas of high exposure. A few areas were touched up that were showing signs of thinning. The excellent coverage can be seen in the beading water droplets in the photos following last cleaning and waxing. A non-existent wax layer would not bead. $-1870 3. Charlie Farrell (see conservators report and restoration options) See conservators report & estimates for repair. The Art Collective recommends this for restoration given its high visibility. A bi-annual cleaning should be continued. Current condition: The piece needs treatment from a conservator to remove the build-up of calcium deposits from the sprinklers. Though able to remove some of the filth i.e. bird droppings, the bronze needs the specified care of a conservator to remove and restore the sculpture. �4Il 4. Help is on The Way Bi-annual cleaning. Cleaned with Distilled water followed by a gentle wipe down with micro - fiber cloths, bi-annual waxing. Current condition: The bronze is in excellent condition, consistent with the initial cleaning. The wax layer is also in excellent condition, though there were a few spots where it was clear that the wax layer had been removed i.e. a hand, the firearm, a police baton, and the door light. These spots were subsequently waxed after cleaning. 5. Machine Age, Forget Me Not, Le Campas de Vulcan Bi-annual cleaning recommended. Current Condition: The steel is in excellent condition, but infrequent cleanings have let gird droppings eat into the surface of the rust and leave more permanent markings. In time, and with more frequent cleanings, these will lessen. 11200 The Art Collective Fine Art Services 34330 Gateway Drive Unit 110. Palm Desert CA 92211 .THE ART COLLECTIVE PINK ART $ROViett 6. The Batter Bi-annual cleaning recommended to avoid further damage. Can be painted, base is dented. Needs estimate for painting and repair if city would like to proceed with restoration. Current condition: The cleaning removed a layer of dust and some bird droppings. The piece is in rough condition. $30 7. Wave Rhythms See conservator report. Art Collective recommends further discussion before proceeding with repair and restoration options. No maintenance is available, The sculpture is in an exceptionally rough condition, any extensive cleaning will only worsen the state of the chipping and removing paint. 8. R. Hero Bi-annual cleaning recommended to avoid further damage. Can be painted, Needs further review by artists for repair options. Current condition: Though the piece is in rough shape, the cleaning did help in removing some stickers that had been placed onto the sculpture as well as brightening up the overall. WS 9. Monsieur Pompadour and Mademoiselle Coco Bi-annual cleaning. Both works are in excellent condition and merely required a rinse and wipe down to remove the dust. 275 10. Jungle Red — cancelled. 11. Intersecting Cubes Bi-annual cleaning to maintain good condition Current condition: The piece is in excellent condition with only minor scratched and chips. $400 12. Lucille Ball A regular maintenance will suffice to care for this work with an annual waxing, a bi-annual cleaning and spot waxing as needed. Current condition: The sculpture is in excellent condition, with a very small amount of grime and bird drop- pings that have accrued since the last cleaning. The wax layer was in good condition though visibly diminished in areas of severe public contact. The wax layer acts as a protective layer for any contact with foreign substances and will continue to protect this sculpture which invites so much interaction. $575 13. Chairman of the Links Bi-annual cleaning. Due to the excellent condition of the wax layer applied, it can be determined that regular maintenance is all that will be required going forward. An annual waxing and bi-annual cleaning with spot waxing as needed. Current condition: The sculpture was in excellent condition, merely needing a cleaning to remove a thin layer of dust. It was apparent from the cleaning that the wax layer applied in the first cleaning has maintained well, even in areas of highest exposure. This can clearly be seen in the beading of water on the surface of the bronze. The only exception being the top of the hand, ostensibly where there is the most friction contact from individuals. An additional layer of Bowling Alley wax was applied to this area as a preventative. 450 The Art Collective Fine Art Services 34330 Gateway Drive Unit 110, Palm Desert CA 92211 .THE ART COLLECTIVE PINE AN? SENVICEE 14. Lawn Chair Bi-annual cleaning. To discuss committee's decision to move artwork, destination to be determined for estimate for removal, transport and installation. Current condition: Excellent M 15. Standing Woman (see conservators report and restoration options) See conservators report & estimates for repair. The Art Collective recommends this for restoration given its high visibility. A bi-annual cleaning should be continued after repair. Current condition: The bronze has a large accrual of white deposits on the surface that could not be removed with light cleaning. 16. Whirlwind VI (see conservators report and restoration options) See conservator report. Art Collective recommends further discussion before proceeding with repair and restoration options. No maintenance is available, the piece has a heavy build- up of calcium deposits that our non -marring picks are unable to remove. 17. Nines and Elevens Biannual cleaning. To discuss committees' interest in repainting sculptures. All are faded. A bi-annual cleaning will help maintain paint and brightness. Estimate needed pending options requested. Current condition: Substantial sun and time deterioration. SM 18. John Clement Pieces: Biannual cleaning recommended to prevent further damage. Red: Butch. The sculpture was in a fairly clean condition, though the cleaning helped remove dust and grime. The sculpture's long term care parallel's the other two John Clement works. NEXT STEPS: The sculpture still shows signs of more permanent damage i.e. chipping paint, rust. The paint surface of the work also has a lot of variation, either from the wrong paint being applied at different points, or from variable aging of the paint. A repainting of the surface is likely in order, perhaps coinciding with the objects potential relocation. Discuss repainting options for estimate. MOD Yellow: Squeeze. The sculpture had accrued a foggy dust layer which was successfully removed by the cleaning process. The sculpture brightened up considerably. Successive landscape cleanings have thrown a considerable amount of green debris onto the sculpture, staining its surface. NEXT STEPS: The sculpture still shows signs of more permanent damage i.e. chipping paint, rust, graffiti damage in the surface as well as staining from grasses. There are recent signs of beneficial landscaping around the surface, clearing of the concrete pad which the work is mounted to. The paint surface of the work also has a lot of variation, either from the wrong paint being applied at different points, or from variable aging of the paint. A repainting of the surface is likely in order, perhaps coinciding with the objects potential relocation or placement upon a gravel surface instead of grass. Discuss repainting options. M Orange: Ithiel. The sculpture had accrued a foggy dust layer which was succesfully removed by the cleaning process. The sculpture brightened up considerably.

Only routine maintenance required to maintain condition $1S.Q Sympatico A regular maintenance of an annual waxing and bi-annual cleaning will suffice to maintain the sculpture's excellent condition. Current condition: The sculpture is in excellent condition and the wax layer is holding very well. 4 Crouching Lion Because the sculpture showed such excellent signs of maintaining its wax layer, regular maintenance is all that is required from here on out. With an annual wax layer and bi-annual cleaning, the sculpture's now excellent condition can be maintained easily throughout the year. Current Condition: In cleaning, it was clearly seen that the wax layer that was added in the first round of cleaning is still intact, even in areas of greatest exposure. This can be clearly seen with the beading of water droplets on the surface of the bronze. $450 20. PSP Sculptures. Biannual cleaning.
