Fragile paintings were measured so that transit frames could be constructed, and artworks were then unhung so that they could either be soft-wrapped or fitted into the newly constructed transit frames for safe transport to the gallery. Patina technicians then carefully unloaded the works and installed them according to the curator’s wishes. At the end of the show everything had to be repeated in reverse.

Since then Patina has provided installation services for a number of subsequent exhibitions at the gallery including ‘Portraits of Place’ (containing artworks from Richard Long and Kettle’s Yard), and ‘The Best of all Possible Worlds’ exploring Quentin Blake’s association with The Folio Society.

Patina has also provided condition checking for indoor and outdoor sculptures in the Ai Weiwei: Cubes and Trees exhibition and specialist sculpture conservation services for ‘When The Heavens Meet the Earth’, a display of works from the Sina Jina Collection.

Most recently, Patina has provided conservation and installation services for the ‘Barbara Hepworth: Divided Circle’ exhibition curated by Rachel Rose Smith.
