ART REPUBLIC FRAMING, by Deleted on Feb 1, 2016 12:59:52 GMT 1, Hi everyone, apologies if this is wrong place to post this...
I am contemplating buying a Banksy print framed a long time ago (circa 2004) by Art Republic.
Anyone had any issues with them when they opened up the frame?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

ART REPUBLIC FRAMING, by Hubble Bubble on Feb 1, 2016 13:09:27 GMT 1, I wouldn't buy a Banksy print these days without having it removed from the frameโฆ even if you want to put it back there once you've inspected it.

ART REPUBLIC FRAMING, by Zippy on Feb 1, 2016 13:27:23 GMT 1, Unfortunately there were plenty of examples of early banksy prints coming out of cheap metal frames without conservation materials being used. Remember prices have not always been this high so some felt it un-necessary to spend a fortune on framing.
The acid from the mounts had 'eaten' into the prints where it overlapped. They were not PH neutral so discolouration took place. Noticeable on edges - can be 5mm wide.
Although Mr Bignall works his magic on flattening prints, he is unable to bleach the edges as the print would have faded overall from the lack of decent UV protection.

J I would definitely get it removed from the frame for inspection. |
