Art Should Reflect Style, Not The Things In Your House

(ARA) - The days of summer festivals and art shows are fading fast. Now that fall is on our footstep, it's time to decide which memories you want to last and look beautiful into the next season. Frame shops around the country are extremely busy at this time of year as people start thinking about how they want to redecorate their homes for the fall.

"One hangs art in their home because they want to enjoy looking at it, but how many times have you visited a friend's house and instead of noticing the art, made note of the glare on the glass framing it? That won't happen to clients who have their art work framed at our gallery," says David Connor, owner of C & C Galleries in Norwell, MA.

"It won't happen here either. If someone indicates to me that the piece we're going to frame for them is expensive, or has sentimental value, I go ahead and recommend we frame the piece with a high quality glass that will both protect it and prevent glare, says Stewart Berman, owner of the Studio 139 Frame Shop in Portsmouth, N.H. "It costs a little bit more, but is definitely worth it."

C & C Galleries ...
... and Studio 139 are among a growing number of framing shops nationwide that now use conservation quality glass, such as Tru Vue's Conservation Reflection Control with TruGuard UV Protection, on the majority of their custom framed artwork. The glass is specially formulated to prevent glare, and protect framed works of art from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light.

Berman recalls the disappointment on the face of one of his customers when she brought in a prized piece of art that had practically faded away. "She spent a lot on the frame, but no one told her about the importance of UV protection," says Berman.

"Ultraviolet light rays are one of the most dangerous elements that your artwork can encounter," says Danata Donnerson of Tru-Vue. "They will not only cause your colors to fade to a mere shadow of their former glory, but will cause the materials themselves to begin to break down right in the frame. Without proper protection, over time, sun and changes in humidity and temperature are the art lover's worst enemies."

"Recently, a ' golf widow' went to great lengths to round up items that commemorated her husband's hole in one," says Connor. "She got his score card from that day signed by the pro at the club, gathered up photographs taken at the event, and even got ahold of the golf ball he hit. We put it all in a shadow box and glazed the framing package with conservation glass. That's the kind of memory you never want to fade," adds Connor.

You don't want art work you paid good money for to fade either. Original paintings, signed lithographs, collectible comic books, flowers, butterflies, and even fall leaves are among some of the other items experts recommend you have framed behind conservation glass.
