High Value original help

[Mikey the 2nd]

Hi all
Looking for some advice please. We have a high value original piece to frame in a style somewhat similar to the attached. IE floating!
The frame, UV glass is agreed and museum matt ordered. We would really appreciate some help on how to fix the work to a standard that is correct for the work. We really want to make sure it is done correctly.
Thanks
Mike

Perhaps it's just me, but for such a well known artist would not a bit more visually impact and gravitas result if the exposed mountboard visible from behind the float mounted artwork be advantageous. If anything,I would probably raise the artwork away from the background on a piece of foam board and even consider adding a cove mount inside the frame.

I like to think that us framers like to have a trick, or two up ourselves to add a little bit of presence and visual excitment, when the artwork is something of importance.

Mike, are you familiar with the Hedgehog technique? (If not, Lions have a "how to" sheet in their info section titled "Mounting Art on Heavy Paper" or similar. That's my go-to method for floating work, with a conservation grade gummed tape, no self adhesives. If you're mounting to a board and then adhering the board to the mount below, use EVA glue as it's archival. Wessex have a foam board with a conservation grade face and back paper, FO6 I think.

Yes, I am and I often use it to raise the artwork away from the under lying mountboard to get that little bit of shaddow between the arework and emphasize the edge of the artwork. I see that it's a Tracey Emin and probably will be given pride of place where is hangs.
