Art Protection

What does this mean?

Art is fragile, especially art on paper or canvas.  Both are friable (they tear easily), scuff, stain, discolor, and fade.  Some damage is inevitable (especially fading) even with the best of materials.  BUT, we can reduce or eliminate much of the potential damage that can happen.  

  • Preservation:  Minimizing environmental damage to art
  • Conservation:  Measures taken to restore or repair damaged art and sometimes the frame, usually undertaken by a conservator .
  • Restoration:  usually applies to photographs and sometimes frames.  This may involve replaceing missing pieces on a frame.  Photographs the photo is scanned on a high resolution scanner and then retouched either by hand or by computer.  This completed restoration is then printed and framed.  The negative created in the process is given to the customer.

What I and most framers do is Preservation Framing.  If conservation is needed I take it to a conservator.  I know several:  Paper, works on canvas, and frame.  I also work with photographer David Krapes and Jan Mathis of Studio 315 in Newberg, Oregon.
