The Challenge
- To protect photographs during exhibition while simultaneously providing an optimal viewing experience.

Anti-static protection exceeds that of glass
Makes for safer, easier framing and less cleaning.
Abrasion resistant
A durable hard coat protects against scratches from cleaning and general exposure to the public.
The Work
Over the course of the past 25 years, Cuban-born American artist Abelardo Morell has become internationally renowned for works that employ the language of photography to explore visual surprise and wonder. This exhibition of over 100 works made from 1986 to 2013 was the first retrospective of Morell’s photographs in 15 years. The exhibit showed a range of works and series—including many newer color photographs never exhibited before.
