  Mounting 

Museum 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.
