Displaying Parasols

• Things to Consider
  The common way to display artwork is placing the open parasol in its upright position or hanging it from the handle (upside down); however, there are places on the wall which are bad for hanging parasols and ones which are better in terms of preservation. The best place to hang the artwork is away from any heat source, in a place of relatively stable and reasonable humidity and not in direct sunlight.

• Dirt and Heat
  Heat dries out the material speeding up the process of natural aging. Also, as hot air rises it carries dirt with it. Thus, a parasol above a heat source will experience far more grime than is normal for the rest of the room. Heat sources can also soften paint. Dirt and debris are easily trapped in the softened paint and varnish.
  It is not advised to hang artwork over fireplaces. In addition to the damage caused by the radiating heat, soot and smoke damage will permanently darken and alter the tone of the artwork, especially those works that are unprimed and unvarnished.

• Water
  Moisture will weaken the adhesion of the paint or adheivsive layers and eventually cause paint loss. The support and ground are the most sensitive components of the painting to water damage. If damage to the support and ground are pervasive, further damage to the artwork and varnish may occur.

• Humidity
  Low or high relative humidity as well as rapid changes in relative humidity are not good for artwork. Low relative humidity tends to minimize chemical change. However, it also tends to make adhiesives and paint brittle and prone to mechanical damage. High relative humidity tends to minimize mechanical damage. However, it tends to promote the growth of biological organisms. Mold growth in the form of black spots has been seen in artwork.
  Too much change in relative humidity is especially bad for artwork.

• Light​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​

As a rule of thumb, ultraviolet light should be kept away from artwork, especially in display and storage. Fugitive dyes and colorants used in the paints will eventually discolor under exposure to ultraviolet light. The fading of pigments and dyes in paintings will affect the color balance of the image. The intensity and wavelengths of light used in displaying graphic art is generally safe for paintings.
