Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

- Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, Holly Woodlawn, Maurice Braddell, dir. Paul Morrissey, prod. Andy Warhol
A satire of the women's liberation movement, staring a trio of female impersonators. Candy is an aloof heiress caught in an unhappy relationship with her brother. Jackie is a virginal intellectual who believes women are oppressed in contemporary American society, and Holly is a nymphomaniac who has come to loathe men, despite her attraction to them. Together, they join a militant feminist group, P.I.G. (Politically Involved Girls), but their newfound liberation doesn't make them any happier.
Baptized James Lawrence Slattery in 1944 she reinvented herself as Candy Darling in the late 1960s after leaving suburban Long Island for the streets of the West Village. She hung out with artists like Andy Warhol and crossed paths with musicians like David Bowie and was immortalized in Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side"
