Brutally Honest Sale of 2 x Banksy Nola & S&S, by esfer on Feb 19, 2011 3:58:20 GMT 1, Speaking of framing.....
I went to a local framer recently (I just moved from San Francisco to a smaller nearby town) and asked about having a set Lister paintings float mounted (using a hinge mount)? He said, " I only do framing with Mat Board because I have been in business 20 years and I can't find a decent hinge mount that will hold up the work longer than a few months time"!
I was slack jawed! WTF?? I said, "are you joking"?.......
....nope, he wasn't!!
Word to the wise, don't EVER skimp on the framing for art you care about. I have works on wood that are float mounted using archival hinge mounts and they show no sign of coming loose any time soon!
Oh, one last thing on this rant.... he was missing two (not one, but two!) front teeth? Kid you not! And the place is called...ready for it?....Art 4 Sails? Get it? me neither! Oh...god save people who have their art framed there!!!
