Track lighting, combined with incandescent lighting has given way to low wattage, di cronix, halogen bulb fittings. This is arguably the best direction to go for illuminating artwork for these reasons:   The lighting is discreet and compact Limited heat omission 360 degree directional Emits a pure white light Economical to run   When selecting these fittings for home or office, be aware of some brand names/fittings which create an arc of light over the object you are wanting to illuminate on the wall. There are certain brands to select to avoid this and one should consider the bulb wattage and beam span (throw).   Lighting must be placed in the right position - careful measurement of the reach of light from its mounting point is essential! To achieve this, experiment before you install the fitting to the wall or ceiling.   Lighting should be considered for sculpture as well as painting. For that matter, any three dimensional artforms. Good lighting will achieve the maximum viewing pleasure to the viewer - day and night.   Display   Often when one is contemplating an art purchase their mind wanders to the question 'where to put it?'. It is my belief that if you can get it through the front door, you will find a home for it no matter what room/s you may consider. Invariably we have a fixed idea as to where we could/or want to place a painting or 3D artwork - DON'T. Try several positions and perhaps leave it there for 24 hours to guage how you feel - then change it if necessary. Good display is hard to qualify, yet bad display is recognised immediately. If you haven't the 'eye' and want advice, it may be a small price to get an outside opinion, but it will be worth it. Peace of mind and feeling comfortable with your art is essential. Consider also the natural light source, heating outlets and the effect it may have on art and humidity factors.     If you are interested in more information about lighting and display of artwork, please contact us.     to Art Advisor
