Frequently Asked Questions: Installation

Who will install my piece?
Depending on my schedule and the collectors', I prefer to install all of my work myself, to ensure the clients' satisfaction and to make sure the piece is displayed in its best possible way.

What are my display options?
Just because a piece is displayed in a particular way in an exhibition, doesn't mean it can't be displayed in a variety of different ways in your home or office. Most shows are installed with a group them in mind, where all the pieces relate to each other as a whole.

When someone buys a piece from an exhibition, its important to address the piece as an independent work. Sometimes this lends the collector and I to agree on a different base, or no base at all. A work standing on the floor in a gallery may work better on a wall-mounted base in someone's home, or vice versa.

I don't live in the New York area? How will I receive my sculpture? (See also pricing and buying).
Your piece will be shipped to you in a specifically constructed container. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. I am also available to install the piece professionally, however, travel cost will incur. If you live within a reasonable distance of New York City or travel can be conveniently be arranged around my schedule, delivery and installation is free.

What if I change my mind about where I want my sculpture later on?
If a collector would like to change the location of a piece in their home or office, they should feel free to call me. I can advise them, or depending on schedule and location, I can move it personally.

What if my sculpture gets damaged?
No art is 100% safe from potential damage. Things often get spilled on paintings, or your neighbor's bratty 5-year-old may want to add his own tree to your favorite landscape oil painting. Most paintings can be cleaned or restored.

The same goes for sculpture. Most pieces can be easily repaired, no matter the extent of potential damage. Just give me a call.

Can or should I touch the sculpture?
Of course. Sculpture is meant to be touched—its part of seeing it and experiencing it. Throughout France, there are signs in museums encouraging blind people to touch the sculpture—even the really old, famous ones.
