OUR TESTIMONIALS
"You have performed a miracle! You took a torn and tattered scrap of (poor quality) paper, which I really thought was beyond redemption, and turned it into an artwork that will be enjoyed and treasured by our family for generations. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!" - Eileen Morris, Private Collector
"I received the lithograph of Mrs. O'Leary and her cow today. I am so very, very pleased! The difference is just remarkable! I am especially amazed at how you were able to replace the torn area on the right side. One would never guess it had been restored. A woman walked into my office, looked at it, and said 'whatever you paid for this, it was worth it.' Thanks again for all your efforts! I'm sure the publisher will be equally pleased with your fine work." -
Richard Bales "[Our client] was over the moon! He was very very happy, very impressed, and rightly so! You did a beautiful, beautiful job!" -
Blake Vonder Haar, President "Thank you for the beautiful job you did with my husband's newspaper article. Thanks to your outstanding work, it looks as good as the day it hit the news stands!" - Jill Weigel, Private Collector "[Graphic Conservation] is sensitive to both the materials they work on and the clients who bring them in. Their reputation is such that the State of Illinois has twice selected Graphic Conservation to provide restoration work on their copy of 'The Gettysburg Address.' I would categorically state that theirs is the top paper conservation firm in the country!" -
Daniel R. Weinberg, President "I've been bringing challenging projects to Graphic Conservation for many years and have always been impressed with the results. They are a state-of-the-art facility and can handle any paper-related problem." -
Ed Paschke, Artist and Professor
"You've worked a miracle! I know the horrid condition the picture was in when I sent it to you and I am amazed at the quality of work you did- I can't see the repairs at all. You made it as close to perfect as we could hope for." - Jeanne Benjamin, Private Collector
"My family has been very happy with the work you performed [on our father's portrait]. The reputation that Graphic Conservation Co. has, is well deserved. Please give my best regards to all the staff who's obvious dedication is clearly evident in the final product." - Douglas Gould, Private Collector "Graphic Conservation gets my important document conservation work. They are simply the best." - Governor James R. Thompson, Illinois (1988-1991) "It wasn't until I brought my document home from GCC that I fully grasped an idea of the hard work and meticulous care you put into perserving it. It's funny how something as mundane as a document can brighten up your day. But when that document has been placed under the care of someone such as you, with such a keen sense of all matters aesthetic, then the mundane easily changes into the extraordinary." - David Hamilton, Private Collector "[We have] worked with Graphic Conservation company many times over the years. The quality of the conservation has been excellent, and the work has been accomplished in a timely manner ... We are quite pleased with the company's conservation and wouldn't hesitate to work with the group in the future." - The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust "The LSU Museum of Art has consistently found GCC's service careful, thorough, and timely. Your firm has performed treatments that were in the best interest of the object and has been diligent in documenting the conservation rendered." -
H. Parrott Bacot, Executive Director "[Graphic Conservation] has been instrumental in helping Northwestern Law preserve its large collection of historical documents and works of art on paper. We highly recommend their services to other institutions wishing to preserve their history." -
Dean J. William Elwin; Professor John P. Heinz "We have utilized [Graphic Conservation's] services from time to time on valuable works of art on paper with unfailingly satisfactory results. We highly recommend this talented group of conservators without reservation." -
Mr. Kenneth Nebenzahl "I am absolutely, 100 percent satisfied with the work that the Graphic Conservation Company does. ... In what you do, there is none better in Chicago or perhaps in the United States. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any and all potential clients." -
James R. Donnelley, Vice Chairman "Always prompt, excellent service. Conservations are first class. The quality of my print collection has been significantly improved by your conservation methods." -
Dr. Stephen Turner "Since its inception a quarter century ago, I have used Graphic Conservation for difficult projects requiring expertise in the restoration of antique maps and rare books. The results have always been superb. In addition, the costs have been repaid many times over in the value added to the items from the delicate improvements executed." -
Harry L. Stern "Thank you for the care and skill you applied to our two water and mold damaged prints. You did a magnificent job, well beyond what I hoped could be done!" - Kathleen Weibel, Private Collector "I am most pleased with your firm's remarkable conservation of my grandfather's colonel's commission. You and your staff are consummate professionals. I look forward to working with your firm in the future." - Robert Pugh, Private Collector "Thank you so much for the excellent conservation your firm provided me. It is better than I ever imagined it could be and without a doubt, Graphic is the best." - Private Collector "I wanted to thank you (and the entire staff) for their professionalism from start to finish. I am most pleased with the quality of work, but perhaps even more so with how smooth and professionally your work was conducted. I look forward to using your services again." - Private Collector "I want to thank you and your staff again and again for doing a superb job on the projects I have submitted to you. I am totally amazed at how you are able to do your job." - Allan Callow, Private Collector "Checking my files, the first restoration you did [for me] was a litho in 1995. In 2007, you restored a poster and the most recent was a letterhead of [a famous] magician. In all 3 projects, an outstanding job was done." - David Sigafus, Private Collector |
