Lisa, I got good results with a system made by Arakawa Grip when I was Curatorial Consultant for an urban hospital system.

If you have an option on types of wire, you might look into something other than braided wire. Occasionally the ends become unbraided, making the section of wire in question practically unusable. I suspect this may be a characteristic of braided wire in general and not necessarily the manufacturer's fault. The wire is easy enough to re-order, it's cheap and it arrives quickly...but it's still a pain when you're in the middle of hanging a show and find wire that cannot be used.

Hello colleagues,

 

We have been asked to recommend secure artwork hanging systems  - both for individual works of value and for wall systems for changing exhibitions - to be used in our libraries and other county facilities.

 

We are looking for products which are:

·         flexible in types of artwork which can be accommodated

·         moderately priced

·         easy to order replacement hardware; use interchangeable components

·         reliable company/product will be in business/available for several years to come

·          relatively uncomplicated, simple to use for the layperson (for hanging systems)

·         durable and easy to maintain

 

Thanks for any recommendations you may be able to provide.

 

Have a great week-end!

 

Lisa
