Seasons change gradually in nature, but for art, the transition periods — spring and fall — can be the most destabilizing. During these months, weather swings dramatically from warm to cold, wet to dry, often in a single day. These fluctuations test the resilience of paintings, works on paper, sculpture, and mixed media, accelerating deterioration and magnifying vulnerabilities.

Art is alive in ways that many collectors don’t realize. Paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and mixed-media pieces all breathe with their environments.

Fall weather is unpredictable. Daily swings in temperature create micro-expansion and contraction within materials like wood, canvas, and paper. Over time, this repeated stress can weaken fibers, loosen joins, and cause cracking.
