Most sculpture require little, if any care other than a light dusting with a soft cloth. No harsh or abrasive materials should be applied to any sculpture. When displaying your purchase do consider the suitability of the location making sure it is safely situated to avoid being knocked over accidentally. Stone sculptures are fragile and can easily break if not handled with care.
When placing prints on display avoid direct sunlight and moisture. Under no circumstances should prints be displayed in bathrooms where moisture will harm the delicate papers used in Inuit printmaking. When framing, proper acid free conservation materials are required to protect your purchase. Choose an experienced framer for your valuable works on paper.
