Used them on a very old Emin print that hadnโt been looked after and they were fantastic. Know what theyโre doing. Very professional with condition reports/photos etc and discussing treatment options before actually touching the work.

Art Restoration in LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง Who do you Recommend?, by redefine on Aug 23, 2022 20:40:40 GMT 1, A very annoying feeling today when I received a print I ordered from the States arriving with a small crease:
Pretty baffled! I was really looking forward to get it and frame it but I'm quite annoyed now - I knew the risks with shipping overseas but still....
Does anyone have any recommendation to fix it & frame it in London (so that I don't have to ship it again)? I'm pretty sure this has happened before...
Not sure how much it would cost - it's a $300 print so if it's an expensive fix I may have to get used to the crease.
I saw people can fix it with some DIY but I don't want to take any risks on this one...
Thanks for any input!

I am not in London but I have had creases removed from prints. It is a simple process but must be done by an art conservator. Could you share how much did it costs you? I have no idea what's the cost implied in a process like this (and I'm just trying to figure out if it would cost more than the print itself) Thanks |

Graham Bignell is one of the best in London... others use others but I like the Bignell studio.
However, it's not cheap and will cost several hundred pounds. I've done cheaper prints/maps myself using brown paper and an iron.

Lay out the blanket, put on a sheet or two of the brown paper then apply a light spray of deionised water. Carefully place the print on the dampened brown paper, lightly spray the an approximate area of the โdamageโ on another sheet of the good quality brown paper, place it on the print and lightly iron out the crease.
You could try and do a sample first or if concerned/worried pop it round to me and Iโll do it while you have a cup of tea and a Hobnob โฆโฆ.. Iโm in London

Ah it's great that you are in London... have you tried it before on any prints? I'm sure if I do it myself I will ruin the print....

Iโm in London I'm particularly bad with DIY that requires any sort of 'precision'. The crease it's very minimal and yes I agree, it definitely doesn't need a conservator.

Art Restoration in LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง Who do you Recommend?, by John The Badgers on Aug 25, 2022 11:51:38 GMT 1, I know they are not London based redefine, but have used Caroline Harrison Conservation? Certainly recommend.
I'm sure she will be more reasonable than those there fancy London places/prices.
That said, Mr Trevorm on to something, and wouldn't be scared of tackling it myself?
I have one of the damaged signed Jarvis Cocker posters, if you can get a bit of moisture in the area of the crease, and then put between some ply etc, that will work.
I have a homemade folder made with ply, bit of glassine paper, left it in there for a week or so, flat as you like afterwards -

If you find another company offers just to remove the tape the pricing would suggest you would be looking at nearer ยฃ200. I'm certainly not suggesting GBS are cheap but there's more involved than just attacking it with some tweezers.

Plenty of paper restorers in the country who will charge under half that and do it themselves (rather than outsourced or one of GBS apprentices) and do it quicker and just as well, from my experience |
