Re-Framing KAWS Print., by pm94501 on Oct 25, 2017 22:22:48 GMT 1, surely if everything is done well, and the print can still be unframed (including having the hinges removed) without causing any damage, then it shouldn't devalue the work at all?

Re-Framing KAWS Print., by saintred88 on Oct 25, 2017 22:28:57 GMT 1, tape or fabric abrasions on the back wouldn't de-value it? I believe even Japanese rice paper hinges leaves some sort of small abrasion on the back once taken off.

If that is how you feel why would you purchase it? Of course any tape can cause slight discoloration ect. I think you're overthinking something very minimal. Why don't you have the tape removed, assess the damage if there is any and then have it re-framed without any tape if you're concerned. No print is perfect, they're all pieces of paper. |

My framer told me that the tabs were made with archival materials he cut the flap off but recommended me to just leave the remains of the tab thats glued to the print alone. Or have it take it to a art conservator to have it removed, which will cost a pretty penny. Either way it will leave an abrasion. So I had him just leave the remains of the tab and reframe it. |

Re-Framing KAWS Print., by saintred88 on Oct 25, 2017 23:38:01 GMT 1, I’m very new to the art world thought I would get some opionons here before I make any type of decisions regarding my art. I am very happy with my purchase. Just got sick and tired of the frame.

Any damage will be minimal and can be reversed.

Re-Framing KAWS Print., by Jaylove on Oct 26, 2017 1:32:32 GMT 1, Do you like the print? Do you like the new framing? Then what's the problem? Enjoy your picture and call it a day. I find this hobby gets really crappy when money and value is more important than actually liking and enjoying the print.
Just my 2 cents.

Given the value of most KAWS works on paper I would have spent the extra money and gone to a framer that knows how to properly hinge with wheat paste and mulberry paper. Leaving old hinges with adhesive on the back are fine assuming the adhesive is archival and water based. And if it is water based then it should be fairly easy to remove.

There is a reason wheat paste and Japanese mulberry paper is the preferred method of hinging works on paper. Removing or reversing the process is quick and easy and will absolutely NOT leave any residual abrasion or marks on the back of the print.
