MessageI see nothing wrong with stamping or signing the backing. This shows the restorer stands behind their work. If the market puts a value upon the restorers work, then so be it.

Oh yeah, that's all we need, now the identity of the restorer will decide the value of a poster. A great poster, with the most minimal work done to it, but performed by the uknownn Joe Schmo, rather than the prestegious big "studio", will suddenly be shunned. We don't want to go there.

I was in no way implying the restorer should sign the front of the work. Of course not. But there is a back to the poster. The Sistine Chapel won't be resold but posters pass from hand to hand all the time. I know that some people hold certain restorers in high esteem and it would be interesting to see if that would play a part in a poster's value... ----- Original Message ----- From: Franc To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 4:48 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Should restorers sign their work? Nobody to my knowledge signed the Sistine Chapel after its latest restoration. I think a paper stamp on the back of the restored poster would be okay but certainly not on the work itself. Frankly the restoration should and will speak for itself, so it really doesn't matter who the restorer was.

What are the pros and cons of restorers signing thier work? Would it add or subtract from the value of a piece? It would be easier to do with paper items, a simple rubber stamp of some kind. I suppose it could be done the same on linen. Years go by and you wonder, who did the work on this piece. Your thoughts? Glenn T.
