If the abstract painting with tape is protected from the elements and kept indoors, shielded from the wind, the sun, and water, then it should last a very long time. However, the longevity of tape art outdoors is entirely dependent on the surface it is applied to and the type of tape you use. A tape painting can last anywhere between one to over five years. If necessary, you can refresh the paintings with tape or you can completely erase them, as the adhesive tape is easily replaceable and removable.
