SHARE YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY HEIRLOOMS

Call us for an appointment during our summer promotion.
410-247-7771


The decision of which family relation inherits the precious ancestral portraits no longer needs to be a source of dispute or rivalry within the family. In the past few years we have been scanning and reproducing these priceless paintings and, in some cases by request, have restored and altered the images as well. More often than not, following this creative procedure, the high-quality reproductions are distributed to many of the relatives allowing them to enjoy the remembrance of their fore bearers in their own homes. It can have a very unifying effect. It is up to you, the client, to make the decision how to proceed once we scan your original. Recently we scanned a portrait and faithfully restored and reproduced several stretched canvas prints. Once they were appropriately framed, it was very difficult to discern which painting was the original.  Currently Archival Arts is showcasing this service with a summer promotion.  We will, at no charge, carefully pick up and deliver your originals (minimum size 16” x 20”) through July and August 2011. See our postcard here for details and of course you can always call us for specific information.

Artistic Freedom Discovered in Pennsylvania

Frank Morgan's house with outdoor gallery in Wrightsville, PA. Archival Arts client Frank Morgan has found freedom of expression in the Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania. He utilizes an unusual method of presenting his artwork to the public 24-hours-a-day. The exterior of his house is his gallery. In the three years that Morgan has been residing in Wrightsville, PA (located between York and Lancaster) the artist has been painstakingly creating his outdoor gallery by adorning his home with giclée prints of his paintings. “You can see them at night from across the river,” says the artist of his ever growing display.  The large piece hung near the top of the house, called “Madonna and Child,” is illuminated by a brilliant light at night and offers dramatic scenery for the 10,000-15,000 cars that pass by each day. Morgan’s idea to create this informal, friendly space was born of the relaxed zoning guidelines in his neighborhood. “This outdoor space offers a place for all...
