HANGING ART

You've selected a beautiful piece of art from bold art gallery and now it's time to hang it. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Art tends to look best when it seems to extend the lines of furniture, windows or doorways, or when several small pieces are grouped together.

Once you've decided where you'd like to hang your piece of bold art, measure to find the center of the piece. Allow for the drop of wire, and make a mark on the wall where you will put the hanger.

You can prevent the plaster or drywall from cracking by placing a piece of Scotch tape on the wall where you will insert the hook.

If your artwork is larger than 8" x 10", use 2 hooks to hang the piece. This helps it remain balanced by distributing the weight evenly. Use a carpenters level to determine where the hooks should be placed. Your painting will remain straight without constant vigilance.

Nail the picture hook into the wall where you've made a mark and carefully place your bold piece of art on the wall, catching the wire on the hook. Straighten, step back, and enjoy.
