On Color Fidelity: Applying 2D Scene-Referred Color Reproduction Standards to 3D Artwork Reproduction - Scott Geffert, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sunday July 19, 2026 12:00pm - 12:20pm PDT

Meeting Room

Two decades ago Van Gogh’s painting of Two Sunflowers played a key role in shaping best practice for artwork reproduction that ultimately led to international standards. These standards defined scene-referred imaging validation techniques used worldwide to this day for artwork reproduction.

In July 2025 the Metropolitan Museum of Art Imaging team set out to create new 2D and 3D images of this same painting to explore objective color validation techniques for 3D scenes. The project was an opportunity to invite experts from the AOUSD community to be onsite at the Met studios for this important capture session to gain insight into the cultural heritage imaging community.

In this presentation, Scott Geffert will share the results of this special imaging session and the efforts underway to develop open tools to improve color fidelity for 3D renditions and online representations.
