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 to 24 degrees C and humidity at 40 to 60 percent. 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 to 75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25 to 50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Stephen Shore print captures the Wakulla County Courthouse in 1976 — a flat-fronted civic building in a small Florida town, photographed in Shore’s signature wide-view color. This is American color photography that treats the unremarkable as the subject: no drama, no incident, just a building and the quality of light on a specific afternoon. This Stephen Shore print is exactly what New Topographics art looks like when it’s working at its best.
Shore’s work from the mid-1970s defined how photographers could look at everyday American architecture and landscape, and this courthouse photo print is a strong example of that approach. The color is accurate and slightly over-ripe — warm southern light on faded paint — giving this color landscape print the timeless-yet-dated quality that makes Shore’s work so consistently interesting.
