CGF II, Certified Grumble Framer Level 2
I have way too much time on my hands this week.
We just completed a five day home show from ****. To top off the disgrace of not selling a thing, on the way out to the art courier's van, one of my 7 ft by 5 ft orignal oils received a 4 inch gash when a load of paintings dislodged the bracer bar and cut through the canvas. It is in a visual spot, so it will be difficult to cover on the front. I may be able to do it but my first question is:
Is there a glue I can use to seam it? and secondly, my art courier has stated that he is not responsible because my husband was helping him. Is he?
This is a $4000 painting and unless I can repair it sufficiently, it will be ruined. Unfortunately, a collector asked for it to be sent out on approval this week so you can see this is a real bummer.
Also, since I painted the painting, I am hesitating contacting my insurance company.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
