This is a fantastic series and an incredibly creative artist! I can tell they are using UV-Resistant Non-Glare Museum Glass on those frames from the looks of it. I could be wrong, but did it seem like less of a glare in person to your eyes than appears in some of the photos? If so, then it's most likely Museum quality glass, which can almost give the art an HD effect when you examine up close.

That image shows the HD effect on the close-up areas but that glare has a tint to it that is either the natural lighting or the glare only that kind of glass gives off. It's non-glare, but that is in comparison with regular untreated or regular UV coated glass. It still has a glare but only when light hits it at certain angles. If you get creative with your angles of shooting... you can always find an angle to bypass the glare. But, that's an art in and of itself! hahahhaa Cheers!

It was indeed a fantastic series and I'm glad you find it interesting.

You may be right about the glass, but there's no way to know for certain. This is a foundation and not a museum, so the exhibitions are coming one after another, I think every two weeks there's a new one. This means they are displaying what they are getting from the artists, who are using whatever glass they want or can afford.

This series however is different as all the pieces were framed the same time, with the same glass and as the series is traveling from museum to museum, it's possible the artist opted for quality.

If you get creative with your angles of shooting... you can always find an angle to bypass the glare.

I agree with that and trust me, have been doing it as there's not other option, that's why my photos are taken from strange angles. However, in this case my best option was what I did, take the photo facing the artwork, or at least that was my decision. I have a plan for the future. I was able to figure out that if I close the front doors, will be able to eliminate the light coming from outside. I need permission to do that, but as there are not many people visiting at that hour, I don't think they will mind. Let's see what I can do with closed doors.

Now that you are here, I'd like to ask your opinion about how these paintings were created. Is it watercolor and ink as I am suspecting? What can you tell me about it? Would appreciate your opinion.
