After hanging over 60+ shows of other artists works, I can’t tell you the relief I felt in the rare moments that I found a well framed or presented work of art!<br /><br />I’m sure there are a lot of thoughts on the subject of weather a work of art should stand on it’s on, but, to me, the presentation is very important. I realize we all have budgets, but I always recommend that people think in terms of their collectors, or the one’s they want to have. <br /><br />I can’t speak for other collectors, but I’m not going to buy a work in a crappy frame made out of inferior materials, or poorly manufactured stretcher bars. Because I know I’ll have to fix the artist’s mistakes later. <br /><br />To artists out there, respect your work! Use quality materials, read about framing, and if you don’t have an answer, ask your local framer. Potentially hire them to cut your mats, and mount your work for you! Order custom frames in bulk. If you set up your frames properly, you can re-use them for multiple shows!<br /><br />Wouldn’t you hate to hear someone say, "wow, love the work, but that frame sucks…" and then they move on to the next piece. I’ve seen it happen.<br /><br />If you’re a photographer and don’t want to deal with frames, think about printing on aluminum or other substrates that don’t need frames like face mounting to acrylic. But always, respect your art, and the people buying it! <br /><br />Lenny, keep the suggestions coming! Jessehttp://artdc.comnoreply@blogger.com
