ART DESIGN TIPS AND REMINDERS


Art lovers understand the importance of keeping their work out of harms way.  Millions are spent 

purchasing fine art each year (ok let us not include the recent Francis Bacon, Jeff Koons, Edvard Munch

and other record setting works).  Let's just consider works more "everyday" people buy to have and 

enjoy.  It is important you protect your fine art from destructive forces both in your office and home.


LIGHT FEATHER DUSTING

Most paintings and wall hangings can be cleaned with a light feather duster or cotton T-shirt.

QUALITY FRAMES

All art, including textiles, photographs and paper should be framed using museum-quality materials

and professional conservation techniques.  Ask potential framers about their conservation procedure

and the materials they use.

MOISTURE

Moisture can ruin your fine artwork.  Be careful where you place art.  A small often used bathroom 

and a steamy shower can cause havoc.  Big temperature changes can be damaging over time.

UV-BLOCKING SHADES/WINDOWS

The sunlight streaming through your windows may be enjoyable, but the UV rays that accompany it 

can damage your precious works leading to fading to paintings and photographs and canvases to

possibly warp.
