Pierlucio Pellissier fonds

Reference number:
AP215
Synopsis:
Le fonds Pierlucio Pellissier, 1946-2020, documente les projets de conservation et de commissariat entrepris par Pierlucio Pellissier, architecte, conservateur et professeur, entre 1996 et 2003. Le fonds comprend des documents textuels et photographiques touchant à trois projets distincts : les restaurations de deux églises décorées par l’architecte et artiste Guido Nincheri (1885-1973), qui en assura également le design architectural, soit Sainte-Amélie à Baie-Comeau, Québec (1938-1939) et Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense, Montréal (1919), et le commissariat d’une exposition sur l’œuvre de Guido Nincheri tenue à Montréal en 2001. Le travail de conservation et de restauration des fresques de Nincheri, qui ornent les deux églises, forme la plus grande partie de la documentation, mettant en lumière la spécificité du médium et les problématiques de la conservation d’œuvres d’art à portée publique.
