Everything you need to know about hanging art.

Consider contextAny hanging process should begin with a considered look at where works are being displayed. ‘Take into consideration the context in which the artwork or several artworks are going to be integrated. Is it a domestic space, a business area, or an institutional venue? What is the architectural, social, political context?, What are all the other elements present in the space where the works are exhibited? The presence of the windows and doors, the height of the ceiling, the quality of the floor, the electrical plugs and switches, etc. They all have an impact on the way the spectator will interact with the works.

Avoid locations that could cause damage. It can be tempting to give your favourite works pride of place above the fireplace, above a radiator. Similarly, light can fade fragile or unprotected works. Beware of direct sunlight, and never hang a drawing or a watercolour near a window.

Choose your frame wisely. Smart framing can help prevent damage caused by exposure to heat and light. Today, special glazes can be applied to glass to prevent UV light from causing works to fade. Similarly, seals can be applied to frames to create artificial environments, protecting artworks from humidity or fluctuations in temperature. Visit Profilex.nl specialized frame maker for more information.

The artwork at the right eye level. Typical, modern and contemporary works hang at 1.55 meters, in the middle of the image. This is the height that museums use. Although the height at which you hang a work at home of course depends on, among other things, the height of the furniture and the ceiling.

Pay attention to fixings. When hanging a work of art (such as a painting), we always recommend using double fixings on either side of the work, rather than a single, central fixing,’ This will prevent the work hanging forward, or moving every time someone brushes past.

The wall is just as important as the work of art. When hanging a work of art (such as a painting), we always recommend using double fixings on either side of the work, rather than a single, central fixing,’ This will prevent the work hanging forward, or moving every time someone brushes past.
