Krylon® Launches the Gallery Series, Ultimate Fine Art Protection Product Line
Gallery Series™ Offers Protection, Preservation and Beautification to Works of Art
CLEVELAND – Krylon®, inventor of the first aerosol clear coatings to preserve priceless artwork, has launched the Gallery Series a comprehensive line of the highest quality artist sprays designed to help artists protect, preserve and beautify their artist works and overall vision.
In order to create specially formulated products for popular media, Krylon started its product development by talking directly to professional artists, art teachers, art hobbyists and art students working in various media, including acrylics, oils, pastels, watercolors, charcoal and pencil. The in-depth research helped uncover unmet needs in the market.
“There are five key attributes that artists may look for in an art spray longevity of protection, invisible protection, enhancement (such as with a gloss or matte finish), compatibility with other art materials and convenience,” says Michelle Neuhauser, Krylon product manager. “Krylon has a long and proud heritage in the fine art market. So we knew that our Gallery Series had to deliver on all of these critical features. We’re proud to put our name on this new line.”
The Gallery Series line provides the ultimate in art protection, including no smudging, smearing, fading, yellowing, cracking or moisture damage. Additionally, the entire product line includes a powerful, exclusive combination of Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer (HALS) and UV Absorber (UVA) that absorbs UV light and protects against color changing/fading, gloss reduction, cracking, blistering and loss of adhesion. And, like all Krylon products, the series sprays are easy to apply, dry quickly and provide even coverage.
The line is available in a wide range of formulations to ensure compatibility with the artist’s materials and technique, as well as his or her overall vision. Products can be used during the creative process, to provide a final, invisible layer of protection or to further enhance the final work.
The Gallery Series line includes the following five product offerings:
