Factum Arte

Factum Arte is an art conservation company based in Madrid specialising in the making of facsimiles for preservation purposes. It was founded in 2001 by artist Adam Lowe, engineer and artist Manuel Franquelo, and technologist Fernando Garcia-Guereta, initially to facilitate the recording of the Tomb of Seti I.

The company's commercial activity involves assisting contemporary artists, including Marc Quinn and Anish Kapoor, to create technically difficult and innovative works of art.

Since 2009, Factum Arte's non-profit cultural heritage projects have been carried out through the Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Preservation, through which the studio seeks to promote the use of non-contact 3D digitisation technologies to record museum collections and historic monuments, especially in areas where these are at risk.

Factum Arte has worked with institutions such as the British Museum in London, the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, and the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt. Provided by Wikipedia
