ANA: “Bill. Bill, Bill, Bill. Let’s focus for a second.”
MAHER: “No, you won’t answer this question.”
Placing tarnished silver in hot water with baking soda or salt and aluminum foil creates a small galvanic cell. Aluminum is oxidized and the silver sulfide tarnish is reduced back to metallic silver. In this electrochemical redox process, sulfur is transferred from the silver to the aluminum.
2- The sulfur swaps over to the aluminum.
So you’re not grinding off metal like with abrasive polishes; you’re mostly just changing the chemistry at the surface.
That means:
It doesn’t “wear away” the solid silver the way polishing pastes or cloths can.
The tiny amount of silver that was in the tarnish layer ends up back on the surface as silver metal.
@BrexitEla@Rainmaker1973 The black tarnish is silver sulfide (Ag₂S), stuck on the surface. In the aluminum + baking soda + hot water setup, the tarnish is chemically converted:
1- Silver ions in Ag₂S get electrons and become metallic silver again.
@GerhardvR11@Rainmaker1973 For valuable or heavily tarnished items use a reputable brass polish (like Brasso or similar). Apply per instructions with a soft cloth. Buff until shiny, then wipe off residue. Avoid abrasive powders or steel wool (they scratch and can strip plating).
'The Artist Is Present' was part of MoMA's major retrospective of artist Marina Abramovic's work. The performance encouraged people to sit across from her in silence.
Ulay, her former partner and collaborator, appeared and sat with her on the exhibition's opening day.
