How do I care for my Art print or original Artwork?
Caring for your art print or artwork involves several steps to ensure its preservation and longevity. Here are some key tips:
Handling
1-Clean Hands: Always handle art prints with clean, dry hands or wear cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils and dirt.
2-Support: Use both hands to support the artwork, avoiding direct pressure on the surface to prevent creasing or damage.
Displaying
1-Framing: Use acid-free mats and backing to prevent deterioration. UV-protective glass or acrylic can shield the artwork from harmful light.
2-Location: Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Avoid places like kitchens and bathrooms.
3-Mounting: Ensure the artwork is mounted securely but not too tightly, allowing for slight expansion and contraction due to humidity changes.
Cleaning
1-Dusting: Gently dust the frame and glass with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using cleaning products directly on the artwork.
2-Inspection: Regularly check for signs of mold, insects, or any other damage.
Storing
1-Flat Storage: Store unframed prints flat, in acid-free folders or boxes, away from light and moisture.
2-Climate Control: Maintain a stable, cool, and dry environment. Aim for a temperature around 70°F (21°C) and a relative humidity of 50%.
3-Avoid Rolling: If you must roll a print, do so loosely and store it in a sturdy tube with acid-free paper to prevent creases.
Additional Tips
1-Professional Help: For valuable or damaged pieces, consult a professional conservator.
2-Documentation: Keep records of your artworks, including photographs, purchase information, and condition reports for insurance purposes.
By following these guidelines, you can help ensure your art prints and artwork remain in excellent condition for years to come.
