This is the first of a series of articles on conservation and conservation framing of photography in general, and fine art photography in particular. It’s a worthwhile and important subject, and fits nicely with the goals and vision of Autumn Hill Artworks.
Educating our customers, potential customers, and the general public of proper ways to preserve and protect photographic works of art, as well as the respected institutions that exist as resources for this knowledge, is part of our goal to create an informed network of individuals who are interested in custom framing, conservation, and conservation framing of fine art photography limited edition prints.
In part 1 of this series, we introduce one of the foremost conservation organizations, the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works http://www.conservation-us.org, otherwise known as AIC. AIC is the only national membership organization in the United States includes 3,500+ conservators, conservation enthusiasts, educators, scientists, art historians, archivists, and students in over 20 countries around the world. All members have the same goal: to preserve the material evidence of our past so we can learn from it today and appreciate it in the future.
Recognizing that many of the fine art photography images created today may someday be worthy of preserving for future generations, Autumn Hill Artworks is dedicated to acquiring and potentially sharing first-hand knowledge of preservation practices learned by active participation in respected organizations such as the AIC. Join us for more on the AIC next time…
