Caring for Artwork:
The Do's and Dont's for Maintaining the Life of Your
Framed Art......Do's -
Request conservation framing for artwork that is valuable,
sentimental or irreplaceable.
Hang artwork in areas that offer protection from
the damaging effects of light, heat & moisture.
Clean the surface regularly with proper cleaner
(acrylic/plexiglass require a special cleaner).
Check your artwork occasionally for signs of
deterioration, spotting or yellowing caused by exposure to light,
humidity and temperature.
Dont's -
Hang artwork on outside walls, over workable fireplaces, in
bathrooms or in direct sunlight.
Spray cleaners directly onto the surface. Spray
cleaners on a soft cloth first to avoid damaging the frame, mat and
artwork.
