During the Spring of 1972 an experimental study was conducted in Venice, Italy, to demonstrate the feasibility of in situ holography of life-sized statuary and wood-carvings. Emphasis was on holographic subjects that were in a state of accelerating disintegration resulting from environmental processes. Archival image records were produced with pulsed ruby-laser holography of the wood-carving ‘San Giovanni Battista’ by Donatell0 and the marble statue ‘Madonna con Bambino’ by Nino Pisano. In addition, interferometric techniques were found to be of potential utility in statue restoration through the location of hidden patches, cracks and flaws.
