By Paul MacFarland, MCPF, GCF
Custom-framed pieces are often displayed for a lifetime or more. Understanding how preservation fits into today’s framing industry is key to presenting your customers with work that is not only beautiful, but also built to last. This special supplement to Picture Framing Magazine, originally published in November 2023, offers a comprehensive overview of contact and its effects, the adversaries of framed art (including light, heat, humidity, and biological aggressors), mounts for mediums on paper, spacers, glazing, hanging hardware, and much more. These methods, materials, and techniques have been vetted by experts, ensuring you are following the industry’s best practices when handling your clients’ paper artwork. This supplement also includes a condition report form for works on paper that can be used by any frame shop.
