| Choosing the right frame for your artwork is very
important and can be a difficult decision.
Our attention to aesthetic detail and our close relationships with
framers allows us to assist you in finding the appropriate frame for your
artwork.
Agora Gallery can advise you on:
- Which
frames will best enhance the beauty and impact of your artwork, while
complementing your décor and personal taste.
- The
correct glass to use when framing works on paper – the importance of
knowing the difference between Plexiglass, UV coated and museum quality
glasses, etc.
- The
best way to care for your new frame – cleaning products can often remove
gold leaf or finishes from frames.
- Matting
your artwork to add depth or texture to your piece, the differences between
matting techniques such as over matting and float mounting.
- Archival
framing – the different types of papers, pastes, and pressure-sensitive
tapes that can be used to preserve the integrity of artwork.
- Taking
environmental issues into consideration – direct sunlight, humidity, heat,
etc.
- The
proper backing for your work of art – only archival materials, such as
acid-free foam board should be used to back artwork, so that mold and
condensation are avoided.
