Palermo Restore is an Edinburgh College of Art research project centred on the reconstruction of the Blinky Palermo wall painting, Blau/Gelb/Weiss/Rot (Blue/Yellow/White/Red). Originally made for the Strategy: Get Arts exhibition in 1970, the work was painted over shortly after the exhibition closed. The College considered various options for restoring or reconstructing the work and a reconstruction took place in October 2005. This website provides information on this project along with details of related exhibitions and events.

Palermo Restore is made possible through collaboration between Edinburgh College of Art, the University of Edinburgh's Talbot Rice Gallery, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Visual Arts Research Institute Edinburgh, and Kunstmuseum Bonn.

Palermo Restore acknowledges the support of The Peter Barker-Mill Memorial Trust and The British Academy.
