I did a fairly large piece for a customer a few months ago measuring 32"x48".
I went over the pros and cons of the various glazing options (as I do with every customer) and we ended up going with Conservation Clear acrylic because of the size.
He came in today to say that it's currently leaning against the wall on the floor because no matter where he hangs it it glares terribly.
The glazing choice was made with the most budget friendly option (Conservation Clear Acrylic) being a large part of the decision with the light weight and safety of acylic being other important factors.
The customer has found that choice wasn't ideal for where the piece is intended to hang.
He's tried it in different locations. It reflects his windows, or it reflects the TV, etc.
I showed him the cost increase to Optium Acrylic was, far too much.
I showed him the price option of Museum glass, still too much.
Again, this is all info. we discussed months ago when the order came in.
Putting it in another room without the lighting challenges of the chosen room is the simple answer, but he specifically got this piece for a specific placement in his home.
I don't have gallery experience.
So my question is. Are there any hanging/display techniques to minimize glare in other ways?
Would changing the angle it hangs at help?
Would lighting with picture lamps help?
Any other options?
