Collecting art is wonderful and so is decorating your home with them, but when it comes to caring for those intricate pieces one only manages a frown.
Every art collector should realise that maintaining the art items is just as critical as selecting the right artwork. With help from Aarti Preenja, director Mrigna Group, we offer simple ways to take care of your expensive art pieces at home.
1. Buying too expensive art pieces means to take intense care of them. Therefore, one needs to be very particular in changing the frame after a while to keep a check on the condition of the canvas.
2. Clean the paintings regularly with a dry muslin cloth to increase their life as well as to maintain the sheen.
3. If the painting you have is hanging on the wall then take it out of the wall after a week's time just to clean it properly and protect it further.
4. Do not use a wet cloth frequently on the art pieces. Once in a month you can do that but it needs to be done very carefully.
5. Don't keep paintings in the reach of sun rays, fire places or heater to avoid damage as sunlight can fade the colours, especially in the case of oil paintings.
6. Dust and lint can be removed with a soft natural hair brush or soft cloth. A piece of velvet works very well, however, do not do this if there are any signs of flaking paint as they will catch and be pulled off.
7. When carrying paintings, avoid holding it by the top edge of the frame. It is better to lift the painting from the outer edges or from underneath.
8. When storing paintings, be mindful of the environmental conditions. Attics and basements are not good because they are excessively dry or damp and lack good air circulation. When stacking paintings, always use pads between them and under them.
