Mounting
Fine art
should be framed in such a way that it retains its value and
beauty for generations. This can only be accomplished if
the artwork is mounted in a safe and reversible
manner. It is very important for the framer to
leave no evidence that he or she ever handled the art.
Depending on the medium (watercolor, oil,
etching, etc.) and material (canvas, paper, silk, etc.), there
are several different mounting methods that are acceptable.
These include acetate corners hidden under a mat, removable
archival tape, water-based linen tape, mulberry hinges with
wheat starch paste, and more.
Mo's Gallery makes use of the full
array of processes available in order to assure utmost
longevity for your artwork.
Dry Mounting
Some
posters, photographs, and prints can and should be dry mounted
to insure the best presentation of the artwork. Dry
mounting can take several forms, but Mo's Gallery has chosen
to invest in a process usually reserved for large printing
press houses, photo labs, and signmakers. This process
involves a German-enginereed press with extremely accurate
movement and precise pressure control. The press evenly
applies a thin film of adhesive to the artwork. The
artwork then passes back through the press, this time adhering
itself to the substrate, or mounting board.
