Some warhol prints are worth millions, but if they are damaged their value just plummets. everyone want to buy mint and although framing is usually a sign of not wanting to sell, the fact remains that if you have a print that ends up being worth ยฃ100k but is only worth ยฃ10k because you wanted to save on framing costs you will be devastated wont you?

Many of my prints have standard glass because of their lower value, but i dont hang any of them in direct sunlight either. Remember, framers make a lot more money than most artists, that should help put it into perspective.

You should ask misterframeman.

That's what I thought, you can't drink sherry out of a pint glass, or Port out of a Margarita coupette, it's just not done ;D
Likewise don't drink your very expensive prints out of standard glass, personally though all my prints are in standard glass and the value of the most expensive is between ยฃ600 - ยฃ1000 but they're not in direct sunlight. If they were worth over, say, ยฃ3000 I think museum spec UV glass would be wise.
