If I was a linen backer/restorer I would not want to sign my work on the back, one reason only: my signature could be forged and used on fake material to signify the work had been done ethically. What would happen if someone like Dario's signature was used to endorse a fake piece of work? Maybe as we have seen on here the shouting and accusing would begin straight away.

This discussion comes up every few years and after all the ranting and raving nothing gets done. Case in point -- this discussion occurred right here on MOPO in March of 2005. Here's the link to the discussion. It even mentions the infamous Frankenstein half sheet which apparently spurred this particular discussion. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04720.html And yet, nothing has been done.

Dario already does something like this, since I asked him for it. Next to a stamp of vintagemovieart and the date on the back, he will provide a record of the works that have been restored and the date.

You know when you receive a linenbacked poster from a Heritage auction and there is a clear label on the back of it? Well, assuming you can get a acid free clear label, I think that would be great and it could remain on the poster forever for provenance.

To: [email protected] glenn, i was right with you on this... whether it was signed, or a certificate was issued and signed by the restorer, stating what work and repairs were done, restore, paper repalcement or fills, etc. . this document, like an appraisal, would go with the piece, were it ever sold, like one includes when selling a work of fine art. i do recall you had a number of silly replies in the negative. one dealer even talked of the difficulty of SEWING on a tag to the linen.. who ever talked about that kind of method? i still think this is a sound and logical idea. makes total sense. jeff On Sep 2, 2009, at 10:40 AM, Glenn Taranto wrote: I would like to offer my post of June 15, 2009...

What are the pros and cons of restorers signing their 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.
