How to make it look better
In most homes and offices, artworks are positioned for design and sentimental purposes and artworks are usually purchased to fill a ‘vacant space’. Art collectors have completely different motivations, some collect artworks according to subject, technique, period in history, a particular artist or a particular location etc. Most of them don’t have sufficient space to be able to exhibit all the works that they possess.
Two difficulties result:
- How to maximize their exhibition
- How to conserve and maintain the collection in an optimal manner, including consideration of the financial aspects involved.
When we undertake to help with the correct treatment for a collection we conduct a review of the entire collection, as follows:
- Status report on each item
- A digital photographic record
- Recommendations for urgent maintenance (identifying works at risk)
- Plans for long-term multi-year conservation
- If necessary, we help in planning and supervising the construction of fixtures for professional storage.
- We provide help in planning a climate-control system for the artworks
- Optimization of the exhibition, in terms of aesthetic and optimal positioning and hanging of the works.
