Artwatch international is an organization that monitoirs the treatment of art works worldwide.
The Need for Artwatch
We believe there is a quality, a component, an aura, unique to works of art which sets them apart from other human endeavors, even closely related ones. It is our fear that this quality is particularly endangered in modern times. Those responsible for custodianship of our collective inherited imagery should be held accountable for decisions regarding the well being of works of art. We are calling for a full disclosure of information regarding specific art conservation projects, methods and historical research. We believe that, had there been a free exchange of points of view and data, many headline-gathering interventions would have been dropped altogether in favor of minimal dustings and careful maintenance procedures. Through the efforts of ArtWatch, a dialogue concerning restoration and conservation has begun, a dialogue which we hope will prevent further tragedies involving our cultural heritage.

The exhibitions are considered post-pop; the art content ranges from folk to outsider to religious to sexually deviant.
