I'm with Doug
nothing wrong with identifying the restorer on the back..
as a matter of fact, it would be in the any restorer's benefit to
improve the quality of his/her work as well as work as a solid
advertisement for those doing excellent conservation and as a bad
advertisement for those doing lesser quality or totally sub-par work
hopefully putting them out of the business
think about it, if Eugene was still working, what would Canada Bob's
E.T. advance say about Eugene's work?
what would it say about Studio C, Jaime, Poster Conservation or Dario?
For collectors, you could make better decisions about buying a poster
from someone
"Oh yeah, this Day the Earth Stood Still one sheet was restored by
(choose one) Igor, Eugene, Jow Blow"
would be like the greatest benefit in the world in making a decision.
I wouldn't want a poster done by any of them.
I once had a linenbacked poster that the poster had been ripped
semi-vertically the whole poster. It was backed by someone who
neither matched each side to the other, or had the two halve meet. So
it was like a broken mirror with 1/16 of in inch between each side.
I think it would be great to eliminate these awful artists & promote
the high quality artists

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...

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. FRANC

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?
