Hey y’all. I’m planning to promote an UV Blacklight package for collectors and I have a phone script I need to test. Can I talk to you on the phone? It’ll take a few minutes. Call me at 805 570 4140 or email me your phone number at best_artdoc@yahoo.com. I don’t need to be your “real life” friend. I’ll talk to anyone who wants to chat. It should be a very interesting chat if you like art and collecting. Thanks. TTYS

You don’t have to be a sophisticated collector of art to need a UV black light in your pocket when you are antiquing, gallery hopping or wandering around auction previews. If you have one in hand, its FUN to see the hidden conditions, restorations etc! Here’s a short video about a painting collector who didn’t use one and got taken big time!

The Dumpster Diver who discovered the painting donated it to a collector who recognized that under the disaster of flaking paint, wax, and grime, there was a valuable vintage piece.  Some research and careful examination yielded the title and date: “The Discussion” from 1929.  This discovery prompted the collector to contact us for a closer examination and professional conservation treatment.
