Michael Jackson's wearing one white glove has done much for the preservation of art. In the art world, wearing white gloves is ideal for the safe handling of art work. According to Chicago Sun-Times, "Mike's glove infatuation came at a Hollywood production studio in 1980 when he noticed an editor handling film with a single white glove to keep smear marks off. The young star was intrigued."
Whether film, photo, painting, or whatever type of art, preservation is important. Art records the history of a culture, a period in time, through the experience of that artist. Many artworks have been around for centuries because they have been handled with white gloves.
It may seem harmless to touch the artwork just a little bit but the unseen oils and dirt on fingertips can be transferred to the artwork and cause great damage. Never touch the surface of an unframed artwork without gloves; even clean hands leave a corrosive residue.
Anyone selling or dealing with art will wear white gloves when handling it. Great care has to be taken to preserve the artwork.
Artwork is very valuable. Many artists are no longer around to create anymore and share their point of view with the world so it is vital great care is taken in handling the art.
Michael Jackson saw something deeper when he watched how film was carefully being handled. He transferred that love, appreciation, and respect for art preservation to his own image.
