Caring for Works on Paper: Housing and Framing

The Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) stewards a wide variety of works of art on paper, including drawings, photographs, prints, and watercolors. Different formats and media require a wide variety of enclosures to ensure they are effectively preserved, beautifully displayed, and safely available for everyone’s enjoyment.

In this program, Jessica Makin, Conservation Assistant, will use examples of works on paper from the collection in various media to demonstrate common enclosures used in the YCBA’s museum storage and display. She will discuss museum standards for different types of materials, as well as common artwork media that require special housing considerations.

Preregistration is required for this program. Please contact eWNiYSAhIHN0dWR5cm9vbSB8IHlhbGUgISBlZHU= to register.
