Art is all unique. My understanding is that it's always been acceptable to conserve art, or restore if it's been damaged, as long as it's disclosed if there is a sale. Now if it's done to deceive rather than to genuinely conserve it for generations to come or restore it to enhance people's appreciation of it, then we're into baseball card land.
