There is so many different types of art out there and somebody has to preserve it so people in the future can enjoy it and learn from it. Glenn Wharton a conservator at the museum of modern art in new york specializes in collecting art from artists and preserving it. The hardest thing he says to do in his job is find ways to preserve the new styles of art. for example one artist he talked about in this article had a couple (man and woman) moving around in different positions kissing. This kind of art shows us the beauty of the human kiss but it is almost impossible to preserve forever. that is where glenn comes in. He also spoke alot about how hard it is to preserve digital media since technology is always changing.
