Our aim in devoting volume 3 to Edgar Degas was to consider the great artist from a technical perspective in many media. In this collaborative process, we relied on the generosity of many colleagues to whom we are extremely grateful.
At the National Gallery of Art we are indebted to Mervin Richard, chief of conservation, for his continued support that ensures the sustained publication of Facture. Other conservation colleagues kindly shared their expertise: Marian Dirda, Melanie Gifford, Lisha Glinsman, Doug Lachance, Katy May, Kathryn Morales, Michelle Stein, and Josephine Werthmann. Michelle LeBleu and Michael Skalka skillfully managed administrative duties. For vital curatorial insights we thank Jonathan Bober, Judith Brodie, C. D. Dickerson, Margaret Morgan Grasselli, Gregory Jecmen, Carlotta Owens, Peter Parshall (retired), and Charles Ritchie. Yuri Long, Jacqueline Protka, and Anne Halpern provided essential reference material. In the department of imaging and visual services, thanks go to Ricardo Blanc, Lorene Emerson, Lee Ewing, Alan Newman, Greg Williams, and Barbara Wood for crucial services in capturing and processing images and obtaining permissions.
Sustaining an institutional publication depends on the commitment and hard work of many additional colleagues at the National Gallery of Art. To all, our profound appreciation. Members of the editorial board ensured the success of the volume. Mira Patel deserves special thanks for good-naturedly keeping all the moving parts organized. In the National Gallery’s publishing office, Judy Metro, Tam Bryfogle, and freelance editor Ann Hofstra Grogg provided expert editing. Chris Vogel and Wendy Schleicher contributed editorial insight to Brad Ireland’s impressive design, while John Long contributed exceptional production support.
