Nightmare

I had a nightmare that no one would ever care what my paintings looked like 50 years from now -- darkened or not.

I still gotta wonder how anyone can know what 3% of maroger medium will do to a painting. How is the comparison made? Photos aren't reliable, they fade and their colors change. Unless 50 years ago an artist made two piles of paint (several colors), then added maroger to only one, placed them both on the same canvases, then exposed both to the same exact conditions for 50 years, how would anyone know? This is not like the discussion on varnish, which sits on top and can be removed.
