Making a science of art and collectible restoration

Where do you take your treasured art objects that have been shattered, torn, and damaged with the hope that they can be restored again? To Pick Up the Pieces, who repairs what you may think is unrepairable.

New technology makes almost all repairs virtually invisible. For over 50 years John D. Foster, an artist, inventor, and entrepreneur, has been repairing porcelain, paintings, crystal, and all types of art. As an inventor, Foster developed materials and a technique to restore precious pieces including: porcelain, china, crystal, glass, paintings, lithographs, photos, paper, alabaster, marble, jade, ivory, bronzes, other metals, books, and manuscripts.

Foster and his company have been advisers for a number of museum curators, and he has accomplished many important restorations. Now Foster's company is one of the world's largest restoration companies. He is a member of the American Institute of Conservators, the Claims Prevention & Procedure Council, and is referred by many large retailers, insurance companies and manufacturers from around the world.
