Title: Glazing over: A review of glazing options for works of art on paper.
Authors: Freemantle, Rosie1 rosie.freemantle@tate.org.uk
Source: Paper Conservator. Oct2004, Vol. 28, p5-16. 12p.
Subject Terms: Art conservation & restoration, Glazing (Glass installation), Picture frames & framing, Art materials, Portrait frames, Painting
Abstract: The article focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of glazing and framing for the preservation of works of art. In selecting the most appropriate glazing for works of art on paper, or indeed for any work of art, the safety of the work itself is paramount. In light of the continuous improvements being made to the physical and optical properties of glass and plastics, combined with improved museum practice and safer art transport, the suitability of certain glazing products should be re-assessed. Glazing helps protect the artwork from touching, impacts, spillage and other physical accidents; dust and dirt, pollution, microbiological hazards; environmental extremes; and, in some cases, ultraviolet light. However, it is seen by most conservators and curators as a necessary evil and any advantages must be offset against well-known disadvantages such as reduced visibility (including reduced light transmission, reflections, color casts, distortions); potential breakage and damage to the artwork; additional weight, cost and labor involved; possible structural or aesthetic unsuitability of portrait frames; and perhaps other issues such as static, condensation and thermal instability.
