Interview with a curator

According to art curator Claire Marmion gives five suggestions on how to preserve your artwork.
1. Early fire detection is the key to avoiding a total art loss..
2. No art or fine furniture in the basement please.
3. Following any sort of major renovation or build out to your home, have the locks changed.
4. Ensure the safety of your work as it is being transported, especially by truck.
5. Check the traffic flows in your home. Are there fragile pieces in the same corridor that your deliveries come into or where your children play? Can you swap out three dimensional for two dimensional pieces, unframed contemporary canvases for those with a small slip frame protection? This will reduce surface scratching and gradual erosion at corners.
