Collector’s Care Guide

Thank you for collecting an original artwork by Pierre Simone. Each piece is a hand-signed and dated oil on canvas, created with the highest care. To help you preserve your investment, please follow these guidelines:

1. Handling Your Artwork

• Always handle the canvas with clean, dry hands.

• Avoid touching the painted surface directly. Hold by the edges or keep the artwork in its protective sleeve until framing.

2. Unrolling Your Canvas

• Artworks are shipped rolled in a protective tube.

• Allow the canvas to rest in a clean, dry room before unrolling.

• Unroll slowly and gently on a flat surface. Do not force the canvas flat.

• For best results, have a professional framer handle the unrolling and stretching process.

3. Framing & Display

• We recommend framing your artwork using acid-free materials and UV-protective glass or acrylic.

• Stretching should always be done by a professional framer to preserve the integrity of the canvas.

• Avoid direct sunlight, damp areas, and extreme temperatures when choosing where to hang your artwork.

4. Cleaning & Care

• Dust lightly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

• Do not use water, cleaning products, or solvents on the painted surface.

• Never spray cleaning products near your artwork.

5. Long-Term Preservation

• Maintain a stable indoor environment (avoid excess humidity or dryness).

• Consider periodic professional inspections if storing the artwork for long-term investment purposes.

• Keep your Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and provenance documents safe, as they add to the long-term value of your collection.
