| We believe artwork used in a
corporate environment often projects an image
relevant to how that company is perceived. In the
case of using quality-investment art, it should
be considered as a corporate asset. If the
maintenance of the artwork is not given the
proper attention, the visual appreciation of the
image can be sacrificed, as well as damage to the
piece can result. It is among these few reasons
that we believe the artwork should be maintained
in the best possible condition. |
| A maintenance program can
be set-up on a quarterly, biannual or annual
basis. This includes the following services: |
- Inspection of the
artwork
- Pieces framed with
glass or plexiglas will be cleaned and
polished
- Paintings will be
dusted and the frames cleaned
- Tapestries and fiber
art exposed to the elements should be
vacuumed
- Sculpture will be
dusted and cleaned
- Any artwork that is in
need of repair will be assessed and will
be given the proper attention that is
required
- Artwork that has bee
owned by the company for over a length of
time should be periodically inspected.
Atmospheric conditions often affect the
materials used in the finished product.
We recomment the following:
- Artwork framed behind
glass should be disassembled, examined,
and the glass and frame should be cleaned
on all sides. New acid-free materials
should be used to replace the old ones.
- Paintings should be
re-stretched and chemically cleaned if
necessary.
- Tapestries and Fiber
should be chemically cleaned.
- Sculpture should have
the surfaces inspected and treated
accordling, if needed.
