Abstract
Disclosed is a novel system for suspending artwork, photographs, documents and other planar material for display in which one edge (the top edge of the material) instead of being attached to hinges, is positioned between opposed magnetic materials having a strong reciprocal force tightly gripping the planar material therebetween whereby the planar article is releasably mounted for display. One of each set of opposed magnetic materials is seated within a recessed area of a mounting board providing a backing for the artwork or other planar article; while the other magnetic material is seated within a mat or other planar material designed to be positioned over the face of the artwork or other planar material to be displayed. It is particularly useful for mounting for display priceless artwork and archival documents which can suffer irreversible degradation from the hinging techniques heretofore employed for such priceless planar materials.
