I would like to know if anyone has information on long term
storage of items in bubble wrap. The specific case involves paintings (oil
& acrylic) on canvas or board as well as framed works on paper, ranging
from early to late 20th Century. Most of the works on paper will not
be in bubble wrap, but a few will. The items will be in a somewhat climate
controlled building, but the specific area will more than likely not have air
circulating. I am concerned about the storage area as well as the works being
wrapped for a long period, but I cannot cite any specific information as to a
length of time they could remain wrapped and what might happen to them if they
stay that way for 6 months or a year. If anyone knows any reference material on
this subject or someone I should talk to, I would like to be able to pass this
information along. Thanks.
