Framing, by Viking Surfer on May 5, 2017 13:36:04 GMT 1, Framing is expensive, especially if you want the best of the best glass (which as others have mentioned, is worth it - it literally looks as though there is nothing on the front of the work - see below picture).
Most expensive frame ever was 2.2k for my Harland 'Love'. Would have been 900 for just the regular UV acrylic. But the glass and the extra thickness needed for an artwork that size is what killed me.
But every Banksy print I've had framed has ended up costing me around ยฃ650 to 800+ VAT. For works of that value it's worth it and I'm never going to leave it sitting in a folio. What's the point.

Framing, by Viking Surfer on May 5, 2017 13:45:32 GMT 1, Maybe it's just me but i almost enjoy getting my prints framed as much as buying them! I don't feel the print is real until it's framed on the wall. 100%, sitting down with a true 'frame brain' and breathing that final bit of life in to your artwork, for me is one of the most exciting parts of the journey.

Apparently one of mine cost ยฃ4k to frame according to the gallery... WTF its painted wood and acrylic.( Though they may have been using their gallery stretch the truth license)

I'll post pics when I get them, of course. They are a couple of beauties.

Thanks for sharing this - are you happy to share some examples for inspiration? This might be just the ticket for some posters.

Framing, by NYart on May 6, 2017 1:45:04 GMT 1, I do it all myself, not to the standards of some, but high enough to ensure a reasonable amount of protection. Everything is acid free with spacers, Mylar corners, and cheap off the shelf frames. It's difficult finding proper stock frames in the states since all of ours are in inches which don't typically convert evenly from cm lol. But even when the background space isn't completely even it still looks good with a proper colored matting. The one thing I'm considering starting is getting UV film to try out and put over the standard glass. None of my prints are in direct sunlight though so my concern is minimal, but that's the only thing that isn't up to conservation standards of my frame jobs. The pictures I've seen from those of you with museum glass is really nice, but glare has never bothered me. I'd rather have two nice prints than one that I can see a bit clearer, but my art funds are also very limited so if you have the means, by all means! At the end of the day my prints are safe, on the wall, and I'm only in the hole ~$30-50.

Building frames changed the way I look at framed art, and not necessarily for the better. More analytical now, math and measurements tend to obstruct my view of the art. Grass is always greener and such.

Framing, by Rouen Cathedral on May 6, 2017 2:54:08 GMT 1, I'm sure I'll get crap for this and told I'm an idiot but framing coasts are crazy.
Granted I don't have 20k prints I'm framing but it makes no sense for me to buy a 200 dollar print to spend 300 to frame it.
And to buy a print and just stick it away makes no sense to me either. I'd much rather buy a print get it framed or frame it myself (not with acid paper or anything and placing it in direct sunlight or anything) and enjoy it. If you tell me my 200 dollar print will loose value due to its non full conservation standards over ten years then fine. I'll be glad enjoying it and thinking the 200 + some reasonable framing coasts was worth 10 years of enjoyment.
