Horizon: Will Art Last?

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A review of the sciences.

Titian's painting 'Bacchus and Ariadne' is said to be worth between 12 million and 110 million and is urgently in need of repair. How does a modern restorer set about preserving for a few more centuries a 450-year-old masterpiece?
Will present-day artists' materials make it possible for posterity to admire a modern copy of 'Monarch of the Glen' in acrylic resin for one of the Beatles, or 18,000 square feet of stained glass in epoxy resin for Liverpool's new cathedral?
