问:博物馆如何修复受损的折叠成型雕塑?答:难点在于折痕处残余应力极高且肌理即造型——须先 400–500 ℃ 均匀退火释放应力,再以最低力度复位,禁止重新锤击复制原有折痕(那会改写艺术家意图);修复方案与在世艺术家确认后退火曲线入档。藏家运输时严禁夹持折线,应以衬垫整体承托。

Q: How do museums conserve damaged fold-formed sculpture? A: The catch is that creases carry high residual stress and the texture is the form: anneal evenly at 400–500 °C to relieve stress, re-seat with minimum force, and never re-hammer to copy the original crease—that would rewrite the artist's intent. Protocols are confirmed with living artists and anneal curves archived; never clamp on fold lines in transit—support the piece on padding. ---
