Mounting and Hinging Tape (DIY Framing), by nobokov on Apr 24, 2024 10:36:21 GMT 1, Thank you for the informative post! I did it the other day using the 24mm-acid-free-gummed-paper-tape... i put a little bit of water and 'activated' the glue. I'm wondering if I want to take it out the mount in the future is it going to be an easy step? Im not going to lie, it seems quite strong the way it stuck From your product description, it said, "The adhesive is permanent ," so I assume that you won't be able to remove the tape without damaging the object. I'm guessing you'd have to just cut it off the mat and leave the tape strip on the artwork.

Mounting and Hinging Tape (DIY Framing), by nobokov on Apr 23, 2024 18:14:28 GMT 1, Hello everyone I have a question for DIY Framing, what tape do you use when you want to 'float' the artwork on top of the mount? Something similar to this: I just made an order with Brampton and got one of those one: www.bramptonframing.com/diy-framing/accessories/tape/24mm-acid-free-gummed-paper-tape-%2850m%29Is this going to do the trick? Is it going to be damaging the artwork? Ideally, I want something that is not permanent, so in the future if I want to dismount everything I won't have any issue. Any advice would be really appreciated.
I think the link above might not work because UAA blocks references to EB Forum for some reason. If you google "expressobeans floating a print" you can find the thread. I use the Lineco Museum Mounting Kit which includes Wheat Starch, mulberry paper. It's on amazon for $38.
Also, metroframe on youtube has a lot of useful videos.
Video on wheatpaste hinging and removal of the hinge.
Library of Congress preservation guidelines: it has some links on the bottom to some pdfs with detailed instructions that may be useful
Here's an artwork that I framed in the past. You tear the mulberry paper into strips exposing the minute strands, microwave the wheat starch per the instructions until it looks like semen, then apply it to the edges of the paper, stick it to your artwork, hold it down with some lightly weighted object for 30 minutes until it dries. Slit matboard, stick the mulberry paper through and then tape on the other side.

Jordy Kerwick 🇭🇲 Painting • New Release • Art For Sale, by nobokov on Apr 22, 2024 15:33:26 GMT 1, Kerwick is an unskilled, overly-hyped painter. I don't understand why anyone would take such a risk and pay an extravagant amount for his work.

Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by nobokov on Apr 12, 2024 13:56:58 GMT 1, Buy if you like. Don’t buy if you don’t like. Or follow the herd. Yes I know… every threads has 3 or 5 comments like this one. It’s not easy to choose or to buy when it’s a 570 € to pay ( last update - that worried me and made me changing my mind : Avant Arte is taxing everyone of 95 taxes and is offering free shipping instead : it’s not good for Europeans as before, shipping was cheaper and we did not paid taxes ! Some UK or US folks complained ? ) … if it was… if I was… if .., if… I would buying it and not questioning myself :-) But… ( I’m trying in fact to convince me to don’t buy maybe ) 🤔 The phobia and obsession of collectors ( not enough rich I think ) It's an easy decision. It's for people rich enough to be a $600 poster and not rich enough to buy a valuable signed ruscha. If the hypesters are telling you to buy and youre still wavering, then you already know what to do

Asif Hoque Canvas for Sale , by nobokov on Apr 11, 2024 3:18:41 GMT 1, It always amazes me that people try to sell a painting without showing a photo of it. Do they have the feeling that everyone here knows every artist. And there are often such different works within an oeuvre. I have often bought a work by an unknown artist, but I have to see the painting or the print. I don't have time to ask every time... 'why don't you send me a photo of the painting by the artist I don't know? Maybe that could be something for me...' They just don't want to get blacklisted for selling too early.

Damien Hirst Secret Garden Painting Print release, by nobokov on Apr 10, 2024 15:41:00 GMT 1, The data is the data and the numbers don’t lie. Disregarding the largest online art marketplace is akin to thinking prices you see at shops are just baloney. You guys have an inate bias against this drop and so far the numbers prove that’s unwarranted. Open your eyes to opportunity and you might actually make some good investments. Absolutely agree wholeheartedly. Keep singing the truth sister!

RETNA New Edition , by nobokov on Apr 10, 2024 15:35:24 GMT 1, Pricing is nuts and the print is too closely cropped. They should've allowed some white space on the edges and lowered the price significantly. The price increases aren't justified as he hasn't had any shows, been added to any museum collections, and more importantly, hasn't had a meltdown that's hit the press for awhile.
His originals still look great though.

Javier Calleja 🇪🇸 Málaga, Spain • Drawings • Sculture, by nobokov on Apr 8, 2024 19:31:57 GMT 1, I know Calleja has passionate fans and collectors, and if his work speaks to you, that's great, awesome. As the French would say - fantastique. Fill your boots. Personally, it does nothing for me, and I hope we're now at the tail end of the market's fascination with cartoony children with big eyes, bearing twee nonsense, wall-friendly messages. But collecting art is not about what I hate, it's about what YOU love and what speaks to you. Fantastique sentiment. Now, can we all get back to focusing on the hate please?

Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by nobokov on Apr 3, 2024 19:40:15 GMT 1, When is a print not a print? When does a print become a poster? The terms seem to be quite vague. I would consider this to be a print because of the silkscreen layer. Conversely, I would also consider giclee prints to be high-end posters. If it's the artist's signature that makes it an art print, does that mean a signed poster becomes a print? I think it's all about using the most flowery terminology to convince people to waste money and feel better about it. Giclee vs inkjet. They're the same, but one costs more. Most museums call their custom posters, custom prints. Those ones and cost much less, but still are overpriced for what they are.
