Proper maintenance of your artwork ensures its longevity and preserves its beauty. Here are some guidelines that I always share with my collectors:
Display Considerations
Avoid hanging paintings in direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use UV-protective glass or acrylic when framing to shield from harmful rays.
Environmental Factors
Maintain stable temperature and humidity levels. Extreme fluctuations can cause materials to expand or contract, leading to damage.
Cleaning Practices
Dust artworks regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning agents, as they can harm the paint surface.
Handling Procedures
Always handle artworks with clean hands or gloves. Support the piece from underneath to prevent stress on the frame or canvas.
Professional Maintenance
For significant cleaning or repairs, consult a professional conservator. Attempting fixes yourself can inadvertently cause more harm.
By following these care tips, your paintings can remain vibrant and intact for generations to come.
