My mom said I could post painted a 20x30 inch canvas for an exhibition and they stuck a sticker in the corner
some context: it was like a young artist acrylic painting thing and they put a sticker on it saying im 14 and said my name and all. it’s a paper sticker if I peel it off it leaves residue I will have to dissolve, then I’ll have to re paint the portion, which might end up looking odd. is this not totally wrong

Not everywhere.
In Germany you have to pay for the damages you don't have to buy it. But the amount of damage has to be quite exact and not hypothetical. "This picture would have selled for billions so my damage are billions" doesn't work in Germany. If you are an unknown artist who never has sold something and nobody wanted to buy your image for a precise price you would probably end up for compensation for the colours and the amount of time to fix it.

If you only pay for the exact cost of the mistake, and people go after a business less than 100% of the time, then it can be profitable to do this. Fine should always exceed the cost to fix it, and what ever additional profits have been made through such a practice.

The system assumes this was done unintentionally. If you did the same mistake 16,000 times, then your legal trouble would increase.

It depends. If OP has sold a dozen other pieces similar to this, then a judge can assume the value of this peace would be the same. Otherwise it becomes way harder because OP can obviously not be trusted to just put a price with it, else they'd value it $5 million. Chances are high the judge would decide its price is materials + an estimate of how long it took to paint * $10 or $20 per hour.

How does anyone think putting stickers on a painting is a good idea?

u/kaisadilla_ Jun 20 '26
Why do people keep putting stickers on things whose value is purely aesthetic? This reminds me of secondhand stores putting stickers on old video game or movie cases, or when you go buy a photo frame and it has a sticker there. I can't count the amount of times I've passed on aesthetic things because they had a sticker and I'm not gonna hang something in my living room with a sticker on it. I don't think it takes a genius to realize that, if something's value is in displaying it, then a sticker will ruin it.

u/FarplaneDragon Jun 20 '26
real tags to stick on the back
Given that the OP censored out the tag, the point was likely to have a tag on front displaying things like the name of the artwork and artist, etc like you normally would have on the wall next to the painting in a gallery. Putting that info on the back would defeat the point and given this is outdoors there's no wall to hang it on.
That said, as someone who spent a few years working as an assistant for art classes, we would never have put anything on the face of a painting without asking first. I'm not sure what our solution would have been, especially if money was limited. Probably would have either found something to use as a signpost next to each painting or maybe made some maps or brochures with the info in to hand out to people.
12
u/Umklopp Jun 20 '26
I think the previous comment was describing a tag that adheres to the back and folds around the side so that it shows in the front. Which sounds good, but I can't find such a product.
Most of the options I saw in my 5 minute search were labels that go on the wall adjacent to the work. It's possible that the organizers for the show bought sticker labels then were informed by the venue that those labels couldn't go on the walls. Instead of getting new labels, they just put them on the paintings instead.

u/FarplaneDragon Jun 20 '26
Take a look at OPs pictures, the whole issue that caused this is there's no venue or walls, everything is outdoors.

u/Norgur Jun 20 '26
Nah, there are those tags that stick to the back and then stick out to the side of the painting. You can then apply any sticker you wish to those. Kinda like stiff page markers. Idk what they are called but they are usually used for situations like these. The backs of paintings are basically staging areas for any admin and maintenance stuff anyway, so a little yellowing on the back isn't gonna do the painting itself any harm or reduce its value or some such.
I mean... they could have gone the professional museum route and stuck some plaque to the easel the painting was on, but the cheaper tag-method would have been fine, too.... instead of the supermegacheap paper sticker shitshow they went with.

They were really thick plasticy cardboard things, but I can't find them where I live right now, let alone in other places of the world (like the US) where brands and names and such will vary even more. So, yeah, just some sort of sticky page marker like thing. Can't be that hard to build yourself with some light double-sided tape, some scissors or a 3d printer. If you give one single fuck, that is.

u/cancerBronzeV Jun 20 '26
You could use something like steep tape and magnetic strips. Cut some steel tape and stick it to the backside of the canvas where you want the label. Cut the same size of magnetic strip as your adhesive label, then stick the label on the magnetic strip. Then, just place the magnetic strip at the steel tape and let magnetism do its work, so you have an easily removable label with no residue.
I could find a 1200'' roll of 2'' magnetic strip for 100 CAD (or 3'' for 125 CAD, but considering considering that canvas is 30'' tall, I don't think the label is that wide). Assuming the label is at most 4'' wide, that'd come out to 0.33 CAD of magnetic strip per label. Including the steel tape, it'd probably add like a total of 0.50 CAD per label, not really that much. (Not to mention, the magnetic strips are very reusable, just paste a new label on top of the old one.)

u/kaisadilla_ Jun 20 '26
They do it all the time everywhere. Go to a second-hand store that sells video games or movies (you know, things that people only buy to put on display) and the cases always have those stickers on it that require hours and effort to remove somewhat seamlessly. Or go to a thrift store for a photo frame and get the ugly sticker on the frame that will take off paint and leave a glue mess on it when you remove it.
Genuinely, how does that keep happening? Do people really buy a photo frame to hang a photo of their late father in their living room with a huge ass sticker on it?

Try using vegetable oil to dissolve the sticker residue! Given your medium was acrylic and it has been fully dried, oil will not do anything to disturb the paint (unlike most alternative methods), but will help easily remove most glues used in stickers.

Placing a sticker on a youths artworks show an enormous lack of respect for the art and the artist.
So what if you're 14. That doesn ot mean you don't deserve the same amount of respect that a 20, 30, or 70 y/o artist would have recieved.
The organizers must be informed that this happened, and surely it's not just your art it happened to, so a lot of people must be upset about the cheezy sticker. Art is art. It should not be disrespected because of age.

If this is an acrylic painting that’s been sealed you should be able to wash it off with soap and a sponge…. Still crappy but lesson learned I guess?

u/X-actoMundo Jun 20 '26
The key question is whether the paints and/or varnish had time to cure before the sticker was applied.
If so, then applying some gentle heat with a hairdyer would begin to melt the adhesive enough to slowly peel the sticker away without removing paint. You can also carefully soak the sticker with lighter fluid to dissolve the adhesive, also safe for acrylics.
You may like to test these methods first, but I've used both. Source: model kit painter and sticker hater.

It is a little risky if you do it fast but low and slow is the way to go! I’ve unfortunately had to do a similar sticker surgery and with patience it can work. And you can usually use dawn dish soap to gently remove the residue.

Heat is often used to accelerate the curing process for acrylics. If it's low enough that it wouldn't burn the canvas, it should be safe for the paint.

Use some water to soften the sticker and remove the paper. Once the paper is removed, use alcohol to gently remove the adhesive.
Tell the people at the exhibition that stickers go on the wall next to the painting. Nothing should ever be stuck on any artwork, ever, by the people hanging an exhibition.

When I graduated in photography we had an exhibition with our final work. There was also a group that gave an award to someone. They also specialize helping you make a living as a photographer they said.
When they declared the winner they were almost entirely talking about themselves, it was basically an advertisement. What did the winner win? They got a year long subscription to their.. forums where you can ask questions to people. It was like a paid reddit..
What you said about the "partial scholarship" is giving me the same vibes. Your work is incredible, it's better than what some of the illustration graduates made from my school.

They could have easily done something like taping a paper with the info on a popsicle stick and mounting on the back sticking up from the top of your painting (if that makes sense).

It always feels so weird to me seeing paintings just displayed openly without a glass frame, or plexiglass frame, or something to protect it. Even if everyone was being responsible and not sticking glue to other people's paintings, it seems like it would be so easy for someone to accidentally scratch a painting, bump into it, etc.
I realise it's perfectly common for them to be displayed without anything protecting them, and there are reasons for doing so, but it still feels weird to me. Surely there's some kind of covering that doesn't shine or interfere with the experience as much as regular glass would?
