Care of acrylic paintings2025-05-27T10:32:03+02:00

How should I store an acrylic painting?

Acrylic paintings should be stored in a dry place, protected from light, and at a constant room temperature (ideally 18–22°C). Ensure that the humidity is not too high (approximately 45–55%) to prevent mold growth.

How do I clean a dusty acrylic painting?

Remove dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a clean, soft brush. Gently wipe the surface. Do not use water or detergent, as acrylic paint can be sensitive to moisture.

Can I wipe an acrylic painting with a damp cloth?

Only to a limited extent. If the painting is coated with a protective varnish, a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully (!) – but only in specific areas and without applying pressure. If there is no varnish, avoid using moisture to avoid damaging the paint.

Should an acrylic painting be framed?

A frame is helpful for protecting the painting from impact, dust, and UV radiation—especially for unsealed works. A glass frame is also recommended for acrylic on paper or cardboard (with spacers to prevent contact).

How do I protect an acrylic painting from light and UV rays?

Avoid direct sunlight. Acrylic paints can fade or discolor over time due to UV rays. UV-protective glazing or special museum glass will help preserve the painting for the long term.

Does an acrylic painting need to be varnished?

Not mandatory, but recommended. A varnish protects the surface from dust, UV light, and mechanical influences. It can significantly improve the appearance of glossy or heavily pigmented paintings, especially.

What to do if the surface is damaged?

Scratches, chips, or dull spots should be assessed by a professional (restorer or experienced artist). Attempts to repair them yourself with varnish or adhesives can do more harm than good.

Does insurance for acrylic paintings make sense?

Yes, especially if it has a higher material or sentimental value. Document the work with photos, information about the artist, technique, and year of creation—and keep proof of purchase or authenticity.

Care of oil paintings2025-05-27T10:32:21+02:00

How should I store an oil painting?

Oil paintings should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated room at a constant temperature (ideally 18–21°C) and humidity (approximately 45–55%). Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

How do I clean a dusty oil painting?

Light dust can be gently removed with a soft, dry brush (e.g., goat hair) or a microfiber cloth. Do not apply pressure. Never use water, cleaning agents, or household remedies.

Can I clean a dirty or yellowed painting myself?

No. The cleaning of heavily soiled or yellowed oil paintings should be left to a professional restorer. Incorrect cleaning attempts can permanently damage the artwork.

Should an oil painting be framed?

Yes. A frame protects the painting from mechanical damage and environmental influences. Make sure the painting is not directly against the glass surface when using glazing (e.g., with spacers or museum glass).

How do I protect an oil painting from sunlight and UV radiation?

Do not hang oil paintings in direct sunlight. UV radiation can bleach colors and make the varnish brittle. Indirect, diffused lighting or special UV-filtering glasses or lamps are ideal.

How often should a painting be re-varnished?

A varnish protects the painting and intensifies the colors. Over the decades, it can yellow or become brittle. Renewal should only be performed by a professional conservator—approximately every 50 to 100 years, depending on the condition.

What should I do if there is damage such as cracks or peeling paint?

Contact a qualified restoration workshop immediately. Never attempt to repair such damage yourself—this could cause irreparable damage to the artwork.

Does it make sense to insure an oil painting?

Yes. Art insurance is particularly advisable for valuable or sentimentally significant paintings. Document the work (photos, description, provenance) and keep all records carefully.

What is modern art?

Modern art is not conclusively defined as a genre of art. The term is generally used colloquially to describe the art of the 20th century, but was also used before that. This means that no specific style can be defined, which makes the transitions to ever new forms of expression fluid and prevents a clear classification.
