Caring For Your Art
A Guide for Artists, Collectors, Galleries and Art Institutions
Third Edition
By Jill Snyder

Colors That Don’t Age, Wraps That Don’t Scratch
Jill Snyder Shares the Latest Techniques and Tips that Bring Eternal Life to Any Artwork

Art history is full of stories about artworks that have been destroyed due to accidents or neglect—yet we rarely talk about those millions of artworks which, thanks to proper care and handling, have survived throughout centuries. In Caring For Your Art, Jill Snyder explains the secrets of displaying, transporting, storing, and insuring art objects that help extend the life of paintings, prints, photography, and sculpture against all possible odds. New to this edition are interviews with key figures from the art insurance, art risk management, and conservation industries that have been conducted by Ann Albano, registrar of the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art.

Concerns about preserving an artwork ideally start before a work is created or put on display: What degree of humidity can a studio or show room have? How will the exciting new plastic material behave once the color has dried out? With Caring For Your Art, those involved with the creation and distribution of art will be able to choose locations, creative material, supports, framing equipment and wrapping material without running into unpleasant surprises.

Whether an artwork remains in one place or is constantly shipped from one exhibit to another, numerous hazards need to be taken into account. Caring For Your Art helps caretakers of art objects to create a seamless chain of protective measures that ensures optimum care of the artwork under any imaginable circumstance.

Written by a curator and art aficionado who has been an expert on art preservation for many years, Caring For Your Art takes into account the latest advances in creative materials and techniques, preservation technology, and insurance requirements. The book will prove an invaluable companion to every artist, curator, gallery owner, or collector concerned about the protection of his art objects, and includes

* cutting-edge ways to limit environmental hazards
* the latest techniques for creating, packing, transporting, and storing art
* recommendations for the use of acid-free materials
* using manual and computer systems for record keeping
* checklists that help identify gaps in the safekeeping process
* easy-to-grasp illustrations of complex technical problems

Caring For Your Art can be found in better book stores, or it can be ordered directly from the publisher by calling: 1-800-491-2808, or order online from the Allworth catalog page where you will also find a full description, a table of contents, and reviews.

Historic Photographic Processes
By Richard Farber

Historic Photographic Processes is a comprehensive user's guide to the historical processes that have become popular alternatives to modern and digital technology. Though many of the techniques, applications, and equipment were first developed in the nineteenth century, these same methods can be used today to create hand-crafted images that are more attractive and permanent than conventional prints or digital outputs. Fine-art photographer Richard Farber incorporates extensive research with clearly-written directions and resource lists to provide in-depth information on eight of the most enduring processes in photographic history, including salted paper, albumen, cyanotype, kallitype, platinum/palladium, carbon/carbro, gum bichromate, and bromoil. He guides the reader through each step, from selecting the appropriate paper and sensitizing it to exposing, developing, and toning the final print. Each method is accompanied by a short explanation of how it was originally used and its significance in the evolution of photography.

Historic Photographic Processes contains more than fifty color and ten black-and-white images that beautifully illustrate each of the processes described. Chapters include an introduction to photographic techniques and applications, such as useful safelights, sizing paper, measuring solutions, exposure controls, ultraviolet light sources, and making enlarged negatives, as well as an extensive section on safety in- and outside of the darkroom. The appendix provides important information on the chemicals discussed, as well as health-and-safety references, supply sources in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and a complete catalog of Internet resources.

These article are a wonderful reference and reminder of helpful steps to achieve success.
Worth reading over and over.
