Basic handling of paintings / [by Robert Arnold].: NM95-57/10-13-2018E-PDF

"The proper handling of a painting is fundamental to its safety and preservation. Most damage to paintings and their frames occurs during handling. Types of damage include stains, dirt deposits, paint loss, surface abrasion, dents, large-scale tears in canvas paintings, minor to serious scratching and scrapes as well as loss of decorative elements on frames. Assessing and following through on handling requirements and guidelines are essential when moving any painting, framed or unframed. Adherence to these guidelines is part of a professional attitude that places an emphasis on the safety of the object"--Introduction, p. 1.
