Fine Art Care
Owning fine art is a privilege and a responsibility. At KOEAIH GALLERY, we want to ensure that your cherished artwork retains its beauty and value for generations to come. Proper care, handling, and maintenance are essential to preserving the integrity of your investment.
Handling and Display
- Always handle your artwork with clean, dry hands or wear gloves to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
- Avoid touching the painted surface directly, as this can cause damage over time.
- Display your artwork away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or high humidity to prevent fading, cracking, or warping.
- Ensure your artwork is securely mounted or framed to prevent accidental falls or damage.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Dust your artwork regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a clean feather duster. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or chemicals, as these may harm the surface.
- For artworks with glass or acrylic glazing, use a non-abrasive microfiber cloth to clean the surface gently.
Storage
- If you need to store your artwork, keep it in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on top of stored artworks, and use acid-free materials to wrap and protect the pieces.
Professional Restoration and Repairs
If your artwork requires restoration or repair, consult a professional conservator or reach out to us for recommendations. Attempting to repair or clean artwork on your own can lead to irreversible damage.
Preserving the Legacy
Fine art is more than decoration—it is a timeless expression of creativity and emotion. By following these care guidelines, you can ensure that your artwork remains a source of inspiration and beauty for years to come.
