Framing Acrylic Painting 0

[munster]

Hi,

Looking for some advice.

I just acquired a piece of Original Art that is an acrylic painting and I want to frame it but I have concerns if I did. I googled the topic and found debate on it about framing with glass or no glass. So I figured I'd come here and see what other collectors have done in this case.

Here is the painting.

Artist is Lucio Parrillo.

I have all my acrylic paintings behind glass.  Basic reason: I feel safer cleaning glass than dusting paint.

All of my framed paintings are under museum glass, which is UV protected and low/no glare. You can choose not to use glass on paintings on mounted canvas, but cleaning the surface of a painting is tough, and all things in the air from dust to pollen or whatever will stick to it. Glass is just a small spritz of glass cleaner and a nice rag to clean and so much easier, as well as protecting the piece from the light and fading. SO I would recommend using the glass and spend for the good glass.

My 2 cents at least.

Have the painting matted, so it's not touching the glass directly.

Glass for acrylic?  It's plastic.  Is it varnished?  Just keep it out of direct sun.  You'll be fine.

Kool Beans, Thanks all for the advice. I'm go with matted and museum glass.
