Operating since 1972, The Tolman Collection is world renowned for its exceptional offerings of contemporary Japanese works on paper. We are also pleased to offer ancillary services, such as framing, restoration and art consulting services.
The gallery policy is to restore the artwork back to its original state rather than repairing it, unless the artwork is in such bad condition that a more drastic course of action must be undertaken. Upon examination of an artwork, the following may come up- will intervention make the problem worse? Our mission is to interfere as little as possible with the artwork. For works on paper, the following are the most common issues: foxing, mat burn, adhesive tape marks. For paintings on canvas, the most common problems are surface cracking, surface grime, paint erosion, damage to the canvas.
