Artwork on paper should always be secured to something else that’s part of the framing treatment, either the mounting board or mat board. This prevents the art from slipping around in the treatment once it’s fully assembled and hanging. If you don’t secure paper art you’ll find yourself having to partially disassemble your frame and reposition the art occasionally, and this increases the chance of damage to both your treatment and your art.
