- The reverse side of the painting with the rip, caused by the hanging wire breaking
The Laguna Arts Festival holds a lecture series (http://bit.ly/pVVE6C) and I was their visiting expert last week. I spoke about general things to think about when protecting and saving collectibles, artwork etc. Well, yesterday, someone’s disaster walked through my front door. A valuable vintage painting’s wire broke and the oil painting on canvas hit the edge of a table and here’s what you get… a 6 inch x 18 inch “L” shapped rip and flaking paint.

- You do the math; be a good curator of your collection or mishaps like the one in the photo above are $4,300.00 to fix perfect.
