If an artist chooses cardboard as their canvas is their work collectible?

Asked by Earthgirl (11214points) November 26th, 2011

I have an interest in folk art of all kinds. Quite often you see that the artists have chosen to use cardboard for a canvas. I know that not all cardboard is acid free archival material. How possible is it to conserve such a piece of art?

Recently I went to an open house in Hoboken NJ and the artist was a well established artist. She uses acrylic paint on cardboard. Her prices are over $1000 for a large piece. I wondered if investing in such a piece would be advisable. Would it maintain it’s value?
