Framed $100 Invader Print cheap in 2006 now I'm freaking out, by Buttercup NYC on Dec 15, 2020 23:49:37 GMT 1, Im worried now that my Alex is destroyed but I wont know unless I take it out of the frame. What should I do? Is it worth is to try to get it reframed? It's been sitting in a closet for the last 8 years.

Framed $100 Invader Print cheap in 2006 now I'm freaking out, by Buttercup NYC on Dec 16, 2020 0:28:44 GMT 1, I dont want to sell it!
I guess a reputable framer would be a good idea.
Thanks!
I live in a small NYC apartment and dont really have the wall space for all my stuff. I've been collecting and plan to move in a few months.

Im relatively new to this collecting/art business.
I've been reading this forum about museum glass, etc. So Im just curious-slash-worried that my cheap framing messed it up.
What do you think is the problem? That it is stuck to to glass? Looking at it, it looks ok, I think? but I'm not sure if the framer stuck it to the back or anything.

FYI I'm a longtime lurker, short-time contributer.  hi.

Framed $100 Invader Print cheap in 2006 now I'm freaking out, by Deleted on Dec 16, 2020 7:56:59 GMT 1, There's a good chance it's completely fine, especially as it's been out of sunlight for eight years. Take it to a good framer and ask them to unframe, then reframe, it.
Worst case scenario, if it has been glued, just accept that's how this goes sometimes. Most people on here will have stories of how they badly framed things that later became valuable. People used to put Banksys in clip frames. It just means you bought it because you like it, not in the hopes of it making you rich.
Hope it all turns out to be ok. Chances are it will.

I'm in NYC so can offer some advice.
First as others have said - take it to Rooq - there are some amazing framers in NYC, but I've been using this team for a few years and they are great.
rooqnyc.com
If it needs restoration work - take it to Paper Conservation Services - here is there website.
They just worked on a Banksy for me - it's now like new and in amazing condition.

Thank you for alleviating my fears. I hope it hasnt been glued, I'm not sure what the framing procedure was back then, but I cant imagine they would do that as a standard. |

why do you think it's been trashed ? what's the back like - does it show any sign of damp or mould if it's been kept in a cupboard ? just cheaply framed, everything looks ok from the outside. |

Is there one in particular you recommend, or a specific person? |

It's the same team throughout - but I go to the location on East 4th.
But you can go to any of them.
As a reference they are the framers who did all the banksy tenners for Bottleneck - they have deep experience with Banksy / Invader etc.
You're in safe hands.
