NEED HELP ON EARLY BANKSY PRINT WITH CONDITION ISSUE , by The Italian One on Oct 26, 2020 16:45:47 GMT 1, Hello,
recently bought an early Banksy print wich i love.
I had the opportunity to buy it in a private sale, the print is float mounted and obviously already framed.
It was bought as it is from a very famous gallery in london (i do have invoice of sale) by the previous owner.
The front of the print is almost perfect but the back has a thin line of glue along the upper side that obviously is attached to keep the print float mounted.
Now i can't decide if keeping the print and enjoy the art as it is in the years to come or take it to a restorer and remove the attached glue with all the risk involved.
really i can't decide which is the best solution, any help or consideration will be much appreciate
thanks

I doubt it would impact the future sale price whereas if you took it to a restorer you are then obliged to mention that it has been restored in any future sale.
