Hanging

Hanging works of art requires the close examination of several criteria: from the nature of the work to the substrate, and the environment of the venue. A technical visit may be undertaken for a specific hanging. Hanging a picture involves various stages, which obviously become more complex according to the size and weight of the work. Whether in a private home or an art gallery, the work will be carried out with the same attention to detail.

• All types of works: pictures, plates, sculptures, chandeliers, neon art, etc.
• Use of cables, eyelets, or buckles
• Chemical anchoring technique for hanging very heavy pieces (bronze plaques, large-scale sculptures)
• Picture-rail technique: useful in premises where works are often replaced
• Hanging on battens

Our specialists work in pairs, or even three or four together if the number of works or their weight requires it. Sometimes, the location itself dictates that the team be expanded.

For further information read this article, in which one of our technicians explains the various steps and hanging techniques in greater detail.
