Framing a fine art print can be a lot of fun and once your art is framed a beautiful addition to your home.
So what should you consider when you finally pick up your fine art print and bring it to your local framer? We’ll tell you what we did for this amazing Ger Doornink print on laid paper.
At Underglass here in San Francisco we always look at the fine art paper quality and decide which framing technique should be used. We specialize in archival, museum quality framing so we never want to permanently mount your fine art to anything, it will always be reversible. And all the materials you don’t see at the surface of your frame are archival too. That way your fine art print keeps its value and you can always un-frame it.
Another important aspect is your personal choice when comes to picking the actual frame. For the portrait by @gerdoornink above, we loved the multilayered aspect in the artist's work and together with our client, we chose a frame that is timeless. A brushed gold frame that exemplifies contemporary transitional style with its simple, slanted profile shape and subtle texture.
Finishing it off and in line with our conservation framing style, we used a museum quality glass that filters most damaging uv from the light and the colors will stay as bright as when it was printed.
