Question about tape on art

Hi all,

I bought a watercolor original art piece that was used for a cover.  When it arrived, there was some kind of tape which cropped out the original art in the configuration of the cover.  It was probably taped for the production.  It does look a little weird with the tape on but that is the cover.  Should I leave the tape on or remove it?  Of course if I remove it, it could damage the art, tearing it or pulling the watercolor off.  Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks!

My policy is always leave things alone.  Whatever you remove someone else can remove but you cant unremove something.

I agree with kav, leave it alone - it's part of the production process and it can even lead to a great conversation when someone asks "Why are there pieces of tape on the art?"  That's when you step in and wow them with your knowledge of original art.
