Inside Art Collectors Homes, by met on Dec 4, 2015 16:21:10 GMT 1, Banksy Flying Copper on the wall. [...] You might want to check the advice given here regarding hanging a print directly over a radiator. If I recall correctly there were some divided opinions. There is a thread devoted to it, that I won't be able to find on my phone, but which you could search for. Lovely looking print/house though.
If divided opinions were expressed on the subject of hanging artwork over heated radiators, then it's a similar scenario to the divided opinions on attribution of recent climate change.
Beware of false balance.

Inside Art Collectors Homes, by singyart on Dec 4, 2015 16:29:20 GMT 1, Look's like a lot of sunshine will come through that huge piece of glass, No one want's a faded banksy!! put it in a cupboard just to be sure  I agree though, very nice pad. This is one of my favourite Banksy images. However, if the print is behind a mount - and it looks like it is - any fading will show up against the covered part of the print if its ever taken out of the frame/mount. Worth considering having it floated on the back board.
It does have uv glass, but I don't know how much it does actually protect it.

And the fading can happen quicker than you might imagine, could you not think about having a quality print made for displaying as it seem's this is the place you want the piece and it does look superb, then you can store the original safely and protect your investment.

Agreed, that's why I suggested the owner search for the thread. My memory fails me too often these days and I couldn't remember what the concensus was. Just wanted to highlight the issue for him (turns out he knew already).
On the issue of climate change, just out of interest, an elderly chap from Texas was interviewed on radio 4 earlier today, who was heavily involved in the oil industry. He was so certain that climate is dictated solely by "Mother Nature" that he wouldn't give concerns about climate change any time of day! Remarkable!

Has anyone use any kind of covers to hang over their artwork on the wall whilst it is sunny, for example I saw the website below that offers custom made covers?

I agree it's a marvelous print. Already said so.
Owner may not have known about issues with radiators.
Still feel it was worth mentioning in case he wasn't.
Have no doubt he's enjoying it regardless of these few comments.

[While on the tangent of global warming, I shall once again strongly encourage forum members to watch the documentary, Cowspiracy.]
I didn't listen to that Radio 4 programme, but it doesn't surprise me in the least.
One point that has always interested me is whether these types of individuals are genuine sceptics (i.e. genuinely deluded or blinkered), and therefore putting forward views in good faith.
What I suspect is usually the case is that such people are instead being disingenuous. They're simply arguing in favour of their vested interests. Perhaps they're shareholders or employed in the relevant industry. Or they're lobbyists or other entities, hired to cause public confusion, create doubt, and mislead the public into thinking an issue is still contentious and hotly debated — when, in actual fact, overwhelming evidence already exists and a consensus of opinion was reached long ago within the independent scientific community.
We saw the same thing from the cigarette industry decades ago: Persistent, sociopathic denial over the existence of links between smoking and lung cancer, including from corrupt medical doctors paid to cast further doubt.
It's now very noticeable from the (stupefyingly wealthy and powerful) food processing and fast food industries. They're the ones bribing, paying off or extorting politicians, NGOs, the media, journalists, bloggers, academics, health care professionals, etc. They encourage the use of highly emotive expressions with negative connotations like "nanny state", ferociously arguing against the introduction of a sugar tax. They'll deflect, claiming obesity is a lifestyle issue, not a food content / diet / public health issue. They, along with their patsies and dupes, will shriek that it's patronising to ban soda vending machines in schools, or to stop NHS hospitals from opening Burger King outlets on their premises.
With annual lobbying and marketing budgets to rival the GDP of entire countries, the tentacle-reach and manipulative efficiency of these industries is both truly impressive and terrifying.

It horrified me watching a documentary film (michael Moore maybe, I don't recall) that there are coke (etc) vending machines in schools in America.
I will be horrified if that happens here. It's bad enough that impulse surgery buys are still at tills. Awful manipulation.
Yes, it was quite obvious that the gentleman interviewed had his financial interests at heart. Quite blatant that money is being put before the future of the planet and future (and not so future) generations.
I will watch Cowspiracy.

Thanks for the clip.
I haven't watched Racing Extinction yet, but will seek to do so. Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret covers a similar subject matter as that video excerpt, while also:
(i) emphasising the shockingly insignificant impact, comparatively, that fossil fuel emissions have on climate change; and
(ii) showing that environmental organisations like Greenpeace are not even discussing the environmental burden of animal agriculture — the suggestion being they're paid (via substantial donations) by the animal agriculture industry itself, to turn a blind eye and focus their attention elsewhere, particularly on fossil fuels.

Both, obviously direct sunlight is going to speed up the process but both are equally damaging to works on paper. Just one will take longer than the other, I have my works on paper in the hallway and on the stairs both of which don't get much natural light.
It's very easy to become paranoid about your pride and joy being damaged, purist collectors of work's on paper would suggest that they need to be stored in a metal storage cabinet wrapped carefully in archival acid free paper.
I think they should be displayed and enjoyed but some thought should be given to careful placement.

Seriously, I'd give it a try, may be good, may not. However, I could see them mixing it with real meat sort of a half and half burger. The only problem is would it create human methane like a vegeburger does?Then where would we be? Will the meth problems of the world ever be solved?

I'm quite intrigued by the UV damage. I read that standard window glass filters most uvb and around 50% uva. Bearing in mind that most homes are double glazed the actual amount of uva remaining after travelling through 2 panes of glass should be fairly small. If you then use UV glass in the frame hardly any uva should reach the print.
This is just my reasoning. I would be interested to hear from someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject.

Inside Art Collectors Homes, by Coach on Dec 10, 2015 17:29:50 GMT 1, Just hung a new ROA on the wall and thought I'd share a pic:
Cool wall!
Not seen pipes in a room like that before.

Inside Art Collectors Homes, by onetwothree on Dec 10, 2015 17:40:03 GMT 1, Both, obviously direct sunlight is going to speed up the process but both are equally damaging to works on paper. Just one will take longer than the other, I have my works on paper in the hallway and on the stairs both of which don't get much natural light. It's very easy to become paranoid about your pride and joy being damaged, purist collectors of work's on paper would suggest that they need to be stored in a metal storage cabinet wrapped carefully in archival acid free paper. I think they should be displayed and enjoyed but some thought should be given to careful placement. I'm quite intrigued by the UV damage. I read that standard window glass filters most uvb and around 50% uva. Bearing in mind that most homes are double glazed the actual amount of uva remaining after travelling through 2 panes of glass should be fairly small. If you then use UV glass in the frame hardly any uva should reach the print. This is just my reasoning. I would be interested to hear from someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject.
I heard glass filters no Uva, it's so confusing!
