A poster is considered faded when it loses
either part or all of its color and/or detail in the artwork.
Fading occurs as the result of a poster
being exposed to direct sunlight for long period of time, such as being hung
in a window.
Fading is considered a serious poster
defect, and the degree and size of the faded area has a direct impact on the
value of the poster. As with all other defects, if the artwork is unaffected
and the fading appears on the background or border,
the poster's value is not significantly diminished. However, if the colors
and graphics of the artwork show signs of fading, then the value of the poster
will be affected proportionately. SEE GRADING FOR
MORE INFORMATION!
Faded posters can be restored to original color by a
professional poster restorer who literally repaints the faded areas
of the poster.
