Unframing question, by Black Apple Art on Nov 4, 2016 21:31:28 GMT 1, Hi all, thinking of selling some of my banksys soon and wanted to ask for some advice. All are beautifully conservation framed by MFM with UV glass. Obviously i appreciate that most buyers want to inspect the print so no matter how great the framing, it needs unframing by the framer first no? Or do i sell framed? If i do get it unframed first before selling, whats the general consensus with Japanese hinges? Just cut them off proud and sell attached so they can be re-used for framing or get GB to remove them properly which probably isn't good for the print long term if it's going to be reframed in the same manner? Any help appreciated or pm me if you prefer

Any help appreciated or pm me if you prefer To get the best price and for total transparency I would deframe and and have hinges removed. If they were done properly they will be easily removed which is the entire reason for using them. |

Unframing question, by Deleted on Nov 5, 2016 3:54:18 GMT 1, Id leave them. the buyer then can see that hinges have been used and that they are able to be removed. I dont see the reason of removing them for the new buyer to then have to add some when reframing it.
I have a Naplam that they tryed to remove the some of the hinges and its skinned the paper. i would have prefered if they had left them.
I have also framed a laugh Now that had tape from 3 different framers on it. better to see that tape than to have some dimwit try to remove it.
then again if its japanese hinges then it should be able to be removed without leaving marks.
just my 2cents

Unframing question, by andyroo0312 on Nov 5, 2016 6:03:03 GMT 1, Jap hinges are easily removed and leave no residue or marks at all. If anything else was used apart from acid free poly corners then I would take it to a conservator so they can do their thing. Good framing is when jap hinges and wheat paste have been used when floating and poly corners used when a matte board is used, anything else is below par framing and should be avoided at all costs. So many people buy expensive art but skimp on the framing which in my mind is insane. As a collector I think it is important to have atleast a basic understanding of conservation/museum framing technics. If I had any high end art that had any adhesives ( excluding purified wheat or rice starch ) I would take them to a conservator to be fixed then sell or get them re-framed properly. Of course these are only my thoughts..
