Multiple size paintings.

If you are going to store different size paintings one behind another, always do it in size order... starting with the largest. Always place cardboard between the works.

Packing material

Do not let the material you are using to wrap your artwork touch the front of the painting. If you have no choice, place a layer of wax paper between the front of the canvas and the packing material.

If you are going to stack a number of paintings one behind another, place a piece of hard cardboard between them. Make sure the cardboard covers the entire piece.

Effects of Weather

Do not store your artwork in an area where the weather can have an impact on it. I have seen many works of art destroyed because they were left in a barn or damp basement. Water is a painting´s worst enemy.
