If you are not 100% sure of the weight, then I always recommended that people err on the side of caution, use picture hooks a size or two bigger than what you think you need \u2013 it cannot hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you need to know what types of walls are in your home \u2013 sheet-rock, concrete, plaster, wood, etc. and note if there are any special treatments on those walls \u2013 e.g., if you have padded fabric walls you may need to buy extra-long nails. If you have concrete or plaster walls, the process will be more complicated (drills, masonry bits, anchors, etc.), so unless you have experience drilling into concrete, I would recommend hiring a professional.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming you have standard walls (sheet-rock, wood, etc.), the work is wired, and you have the proper size picture hooks, you can begin (you will also need a tape measure, pencil, and a small hammer \u2013 if you really want to be exact, have a level handy). \u00a0For this example, I am using a painting with an overall size of 33 x 40 inches. Look at the back of the work and find the center of your wire. Next, measure 6 \u2013 7 inches left and right of center (for smaller works, you will need to adjust this distance accordingly). These will be the spots where the wire rests on the picture hooks. Next, on the back of the work, measure from the bottom of the frame to one of those spots \u2013 for our example, we will use 28 inches (see the diagram below).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-39865\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hanging-a-work-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"Hanging A Work Of Art\" width=\"329\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hanging-a-work-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hanging-a-work.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next, measure from the floor up \u2013 taking into account the height of any furniture that may be below the work and the amount of space you want between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame. For this example, we will assume that the painting is going to hang over a sofa that is 36 inches high, and we want the bottom of the frame to be 9 inches above the sofa: 36 inches + 9 inches = 45 inches. Once you have that number, all you need to do is add the two measurements (45 inches + 28 inches = 73 inches), and you will have the height at which you place your picture hooks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-39894\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/painting-hanging-173x300.jpg\" alt=\"Painting hanging on a wall\" width=\"179\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/painting-hanging-173x300.jpg 173w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/painting-hanging-591x1024.jpg 591w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/painting-hanging-768x1331.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/painting-hanging-886x1536.jpg 886w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/painting-hanging-1182x2048.jpg 1182w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/painting-hanging-scaled.jpg 1477w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, find the center of the wall\/space on which you want to hang the work and measure 73 inches from the floor. Now place your picture hooks 6-7 inches from each side of this mark (you can use a level to be 100% sure that they two hooks are at the same height) and then hang your picture \u2013 it should be perfect!<\/p>\n<p>While you can hang a work of art on 1 picture hook, and this is fine for very small pieces, you will find that if you use 2 picture hooks, spaced about 12 &#8211; 14 inches apart, the painting will remain level. As I mentioned earlier, if you plan on hanging a smaller work on two picture hooks, you will need to shorten the distance between them.<\/p>\n<p>One question that does arise is &#8211; what if you are hanging work in a space where there is no furniture, what is the right height?\u00a0 When we hang works at a show, our go-to height is to have the center of the painting 62 inches from the floor.\u00a0 To calculate the proper height of the picture hooks, you can use the following (we will use the same overall height as before \u2013 33 inches):<\/p>\n<p>First: divide 33 in half = 16.5 inches<br \/>\nSecond: then measure from one of the two spots on the wire to the top of the frame = 5 inches<br \/>\nThird: then subtract 5 from 16.5 = 11.5 inches<br \/>\nFourth: add 11.5 to 62 = 73.5 inches, the height of your picture hooks.<\/p>\n<p>I must confess that I rarely do all of this in my own home.\u00a0 After hanging so many pictures, for so many years, I just \u2018eyeball it\u2019 \u2026 and if I make a mistake, I pull the hooks out and try again!!\u00a0 Yes, I have a couple of extra holes behind some of our paintings \u2013 you know, trial and error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Since many of us are quarantining these days (and some may be having a few too many quarantinis), many collectors have decided to add works to their collection, while others have been rearranging the works they already own \u2026 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2020\/05\/safely-navigating-the-art-market-hanging-your-artwork\/?contemporary=N\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":30689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[400],"class_list":["post-39864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rehs-contemporary","tag-how-to-safely-navigate-the-art-market"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Safely Navigating The Art Market \u2013 Hanging Your Artwork<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2020\/05\/safely-navigating-the-art-market-hanging-your-artwork\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Safely Navigating The Art Market - Hanging Your Artwork\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&nbsp; Since many of us are quarantining these days (and some may be having a few too many quarantinis), many collectors have decided to add works to their collection, while others have been rearranging the works they already own \u2026 &hellip; More...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2020\/05\/safely-navigating-the-art-market-hanging-your-artwork\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Rehs Galleries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RehsGalleriesInc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/howard.rehs\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-05-31T14:58:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-03-29T11:47:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/john_bentham_dinsdale_e1223_the_flag_the_flag_the_precious_flag_BLACK_AND_WHITE.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1053\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Howard L.
