Welcome to George Gallery's Artwork Care Guide, crafted especially for our valued clients! Whether you've acquired a captivating print or invested in an exquisite original oil painting from our gallery, we're committed to ensuring your artwork remains in pristine condition for generations to come. As passionate advocates for art preservation and your satisfaction, we're here to provide you with essential tips to maintain the beauty of your cherished pieces.

Hang artwork outside of direct sunlight.

We understand the significance of preserving the allure of your artwork. Avoid exposing your pieces to direct sunlight, as it can cause pigment fading and damage to the canvas. Remember, when in doubt, keep it out of the sun!

Keep it clean.

We want your artwork to continue captivating viewers for years to come. Periodically inspect your pieces for dust buildup, especially on oil or acrylic paintings. Use a soft, natural-hair bristle brush to gently remove any debris. For those with encaustic paintings, buffing with a cotton t-shirt can enhance the surface beautifully. Rest assured, we're here to provide guidance on the best cleaning practices for your specific artwork.

Keep art a safe distance from water sources.

Water and artwork don't mix! Protect your investment by keeping high-value pieces away from water sources like sinks and showers. If you're uncertain about placement, reach out to us for expert advice tailored to your artwork's needs.

Pay attention to temperature and humidity.

Maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels is crucial for preserving your artwork's integrity. Avoid extremes and aim for a standard room temperature and 40% - 60% relative humidity. Need guidance on how to achieve these conditions? Just ask - we're here to help!

Store with care.

While we love seeing your artwork on display, we understand that storage may be necessary at times. When storing your pieces, remember to keep them flat against a stable surface and away from direct contact with the ground. Our team is available to offer additional tips on safe and effective storage solutions.

Thank you for entrusting George Gallery with your art acquisition. We're honoured to be a part of your artistic journey and are committed to providing ongoing support. For any questions or assistance, don't hesitate to contact us. Happy preserving!
