CHOOSING A PATTERN ‘The rule of thumb is that artwork should be easily viewable, regardless of ifit's one work or multiple hanging as a group. When hanging multiple artworks, select a pattern to follow. It can be a simple grid that maximizes the use of line, or a more organic layout that suits your personality like the Simon Bull paintings seen below. With any pattern, try to keep the spacing between the artworks consistent. “Just make sure everything is level when you hang the artwork up,” Walker says. hitps:wnparkwestgallary.comi6-tips-or-hanging-#/35130 112251572018 6 tips for hanging art - Park West Education This display of Simon Bull art shows how an organic pattem can be visually appealing 2. WORK WITHIN THE SPACE Walker says when hanging at, try not to place it too high or low on the wall. Consider the room it's hanging in when determining the right height — are people sitting down often, or simply walking through? “You want to have the artwork at eye level,” Walker says. "You want to see it without moving your head up or down” ‘A norizontal arrangement of Tomasz Rut art napsutwaww:parkaestgaliory.com/6-ips-fr-hanging-arl35130 2251572018 6 tps for hanging art - Park West Education ‘The typical eye level is about 57 inches from the floor, so having the center of the art at this height - not the top — is recommended, Ifa room has multiple doors and windows, arrange the artwork to line up with the middle of the frames instead of the top or bottom. Even the corner of a room can be utilized for a unique setup, as seen here with these Mark Kanovich works: A corner display can transform your home into a galery space 3. MAKE A “ROUGH DRAFT” BEFORE HANGING ART Cut newspaper or kraft paper into templates that match the size of the art and tape them to the wall with painter's tape. This gives a nice visual as to how itll look prior to hanging your art without hammering a bunch of unneeded holes into your wall Another option is to lay them out on the floor in your desired pattern. By doing so, you can play around with the configuration, see how they look when placed next to one another and determine the optimal arrangement. napsutwaww:parkaestgaliory.com/6-ips-fr-hanging-arl35130 312251572018 6 tis for hanging art - Park West Education Notice how these works by Yaacov Agam pair well together 4, COLOR SCHEMES AND THEMES When choosing which works to place together, Walker suggests selecting a color scheme and choosing art based on that scheme. By doing this, you can use different framing styles and maintain a theme. Art with neutral colors can be mixed into a color scheme to provide some variety. Whether it's one work or many, keep in mind what mood you're hoping to evoke. Exciting, bold colors from artists like Peter Max liven up a room, while warm, subdued colors from artists like Csaba Markus reflect a calming energy. Naturally, specific rooms can have matching paintings. Those with a bar or poker table are perfect for works from artists like Seott Jacobs and Michael Godard. Landscapes like those created by David Najar help open up a smaller room, nips: parkaostgalior.com6-ips-for-hanging-035130 42251672018 6 tps for hanging art - Park West Education This landscape by David Najar opens up the space of this comer 5. TRY DIFFERENT SIZES Large art is impressive and makes a statement, and thus requires room to be admired. Smaller artwork, on the other hand, is perfect for wall space in between doors and windows of creating a group to display together. When hanging art above furniture like a sofa or bed, make sure the layout is about a third of the furniture’s size, as the artwork will otherwise appear odd by comparison. Again, keep it within eye level. hitps:wnparkwestgallary.comi6-tips-or-hanging-#/35130 512251572018 6 tis for hanging art - Park West Education Artwork of diferent sizes by Autumn de Forest are used to great effect inthis pattern 6. CREATE A ROTATING GALLERY Ifyou've simply run out of wall space, try changing out the artwork. Who knows, swapping out one work for another might completely change the mood or feel of the room, and provide a different atmosphere that might make the artwork pop. Regardless of how you hang your art, Walker's last bit of advice is the most crucial. “Make sure when you're hanging art that you have a sturdy place on the wall so it doesn't fall,” he says.

Is there any information or advice you can share with me regarding this issue? Reply ° parkwestgal says) December 7, 2015 at 10:59 am Hi Patty! As a general rule, 55-65 degrees is recommended, but as long as you keep the temperature within @ 20-degree range for 24-hour periods, it should be fine. For example, if the art is placed somewhere that fluctuates from 65-75 degrees F in 25 hours, it should be all right.
