We are looking to have a monumental drawing on paper (composed of several sheets of paper) mounted and stabilized, so that it will be ready for installation.
Here are the details:
When combined the complete drawing measured 13 x 10.5 feet. The drawing is composed of 9 separate sheets of paper:
A: 52.5 x 42 inches
B: 53.375 x 42 inches (a thinner paper)
C: 51.5 x 42 inches
D: 52.5 x 42 inches
E: 52.5 x 42 inches
F: 53.5 x 42 inches
G: 52.5 x 42 inches
H: 52.75 x 42 inches
I: 52.8125 x 42 inches
All sheets of paper (save B) are Strathmore 400 series, 160 lb. watercolor paper.
B is completed on a thinner 80 lb. drawing paper.
The drawing is completed in graphite and charcoal and the artist has applied a heavy fix so that the work will not smear or transfer from the paper
The paper is all from a 42 inch wide roll of watercolor paper, hand cut with a blade. So, the corners are not perfectly squared, as they were hand cut, but they are pretty close.
We are looking to mount or attach these sheets to a solid ground so that they are stable and can be hung together.
Any advice on how to tackle this project -- it is important that the task is completed archivally.
thanks!
