Session #1: Keynote Address
Rosa Lowinger (Conservator, Sculpture Conservation Studio, Los Angeles)
KEYNOTE SPEAKER PROFILE: Rosa Lowinger
A 1982 graduate of New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts, Rosa Lowinger is the founder of the Sculpture Conservation Studio in Los Angeles, a facility dedicated to sculpture and architectural preservation. Lowinger has published extensively on conservation of outdoor sculpture, coatings for metals, and conservation of contemporary and ethnographic art.
Cuban born Lowinger is particularly interested in the conservation problems of tropical climates. In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, she has been working with the National Trust for Historic Preservation on conservation of buildings in Biloxi, Mississippi, and has previously worked in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Miami, and Havana. Most recently, she been working in Honolulu and on Kaua‘i under the auspices of the Mayor’s Office for Culture and the Arts, and the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
She is also an author with numerous pieces in magazines, such as ArtNews, Preservation, Sculpture, and Latina. Her first book, Tropical Nights: The Life and Times of the Legendary Cuban Nightclub, was recently heralded by Publisher’s Weekly as a “scintillating chronicle that offers an overview of the florid, splashy era when Cuba was an endless party, and Tropicana was its epicenter.”
