From the Publisher
Concerns about preserving an artwork ideally start before a work is created or put on display: What degree of humidity can a studio or show room have? How will the exciting new plastic material behave once the color has dried out? With CARING FOR YOUR ART, those involved with the creation and distribution of art will be able to choose locations, creative material, supports, framing equipment and wrapping material without running into unpleasant surprises.

May be useful for artists but less so for collectors,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Caring for Your Art: A Guide for Artists, Collectors, Galleries, and Art Institutions (Paperback)
The book provides useful instructions for storage and shipping but it is too generic and superficial in other areas like insurance, security and inventory control.
