Ian Francis ๐ฌ๐ง Bristol Artist โข New Paintings โข For Sale, by lowpro on Jun 13, 2011 10:44:43 GMT 1, I've never quite understood the fascination with encasing original works in perspex by you UK folks. While it works with some works, I think most of the time it detracts from the overall aesthetic. But if this really isn't financially motivated, I'd strongly suggest removing it from the plexi and hanging it in the "nude". The 28"x40" pieces are extremely light in weight. Moreover, with the level of layering and brushwork involved with Ian's skillful work, a piece of acrylic between the piece and the viewers eyes would be much more of a detriment than any protective benefits provided..if that is, in fact, the rationale for encasing canvas paintings.
Ultimately, in the time horizon you'll be enjoying the piece, any benefits provided by the plexi will be irrelevant and nominal at best. Take it out and enjoy it. And perhaps attempt to find a buyer for the perspex box. I also prefer any paintings on canvas or wood to be displayed as is, so perhaps the solution here seems too obvious and simple to me. But seriously, if this has nothing to do with money, just take it out, hang it, and enjoy!
Just my opinion, of course.

But with two boys under 4, I just can't do it.

Don't get me started about drawing on the walls. Definitely got a live one and the younger one has a look of mischief in his eyes.
Wouldn't change a thing though.

I agree... my canvasses are in perspex for safety, not for aesthetics.

one here,
urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?board=ebaychat&action=display&thread=69102
the second and third were offered by ABC and snelj8 if I'm not mixing things up.
...and there was a fourth painting which I can't remember who was selling it but it was the Paris Hilton piece.

In terms of value. Depends what you are offering. Not offering this at eBay prices and being offered items at gallery prices. It's all relative.
