How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
The Sick Child I: A Portrait of Grief and Loss
Immerse yourself in the profound psychological depth of Edvard Munch’s landmark work, “The Sick Child I,” created in 1896. This powerful lithograph is not merely a portrait but a visceral articulation of the artist’s trauma stemming from the death of his sister, Sophie, to tuberculosis. Munch repeatedly returned to this devastating subject, making this version one of the most emotionally charged expressions of fin-de-siècle anxiety and despair.
Expressionist Intensity in Red and Teal
This striking print captures the raw, scratching lines and haunting use of color that define Munch’s pioneering Expressionist style. The profile of the child, looking away toward an unseen presence, is dominated by fierce red strokes, symbolizing fever, illness, and the raw pain of suffering. These intense colors contrast sharply with the muted teal and white background, emphasizing the fragility and isolation of the subject. It is a masterclass in conveying inner turmoil through visual texture and stark composition.
