The Care of Fine Art - Insects

Insects quietly attack and damage paper and canvas. Silverfish and cockroaches, among others, can feed on your artwork. They attack not only paper and fabric, but also glues and some types of pigment. Insects can quickly cause damage, so they should be dealt with promptly. Cleanliness, control of moisture, and regular inspections are a good preventive measures. If you find pests are present, take the piece to your professional framer for an evaluation of the damage.
