Looks real good Jim. How was the first opening day?

looks like a great show, with strong work; well deserved
It does make sense with CT for aesthetic reasons. And it makes sense on very large prints-look at Gursky's prints-what else would you do? I was surprized to hear that a quality gallery wasn't hanging expensive prints behind glass (or arylic or something) so being a curious fellow.....I looked at the website of Point Light-in the opening shot of the space the prints are clearly under glass....? http://pointlight.com.au/

What did they, artists, galleries, public, do before sheet glass was available?
When it became available who decided on its use or not and under what conditions?
This article is interesting in that it gives some guidelines that seem reasonable.

Judge for yourself. Given the nature of Carbon prints I don't see a problem with glassless framing. In the environment were smoking creates the oily residue that covers prints could be an exception. Conservation of the image becomes an issue then.
Really beautiful, Jim!
But I wish you would not have hung them together which is in art curator's jargon is 'stacking' which is practised from 16th-18th century. Just my two cents (which I do not have ;-) ).
Wish you the best for the success of the event which may help to create a new wave of followers to carbon printing.

I don't want to hijack Jim's thread. I will delete my posts later and clean this up. Quote from your article Curt "Paintings that are not cleanable, such as watercolors, pastels, gouaches, charcoals, colored pencils, reproductions and photographs, must be framed under glass.
