‘Cloud Gates’ restoration for David Medalla A closer look into the processes involved in the restoration of The Cloud Gates in collaboration with @factumarte. The team performed many test runs of the pieces in the studio to identify the components to be replaced or restored. The tasks carried out ranged from re-painting, adding water pumps and a water butt to replacing all internal tubing, sealing and cleaning the pieces. Photographs: Oak Taylor-Smith / Factum Arte
