I am in the process of buying a large format canvas (48x72 or 72x72). I've never owned much less hung art this large. Anyone with experience have any advise I should know? I was thinking about special care in hanging, storage, moving, etc.

I have a canvas that is about 3'x5' or so and I had to have the canvas removed from the stretcher bars to get it shipped to me. Shipping would have been absurd if it were not for that.
