SamenvattingThis paper describes the application of the risk assessment approach to an installation made by Jeffrey Shaw and Tjebbe van Tijen, Revolution. A Monument for the Television Revolution (1990) in order to prioritize preservation options. Its significance was determined, a description of its anatomy and identity was made and the contribution of the various components to the significance of the whole ‘ensemble’ was determined. Risks were identified and scenarios were developed describing expected loss of cultural value in the future. Since replacement, migration and emulation are common conservation strategies for installation art, the possibility to include recoverability of lost value in the assessment was explored. Compared with decisions curators and conservators would make based on their individual knowledge and experience, this rational, collaborative and structured risk assessment methodology provided increased insight in identity of the work and a ranking of the risks.
