Artomatic Show Prep: Framing

When I was visiting Rehs Galleries in New York City, I was told that many artists in the fine arts world can bump the price of their paintings by thousands of dollars, just by changing to a more beautiful frame.
ReplyDeleteIt's really amazing what good framing does, the one you found at the store was a great found.
It really does make a difference having a good frame, for adding monetary value and giving you a better presentation. I wish I could afford to have all my pieces professionally framed, but until then I find secondhand frames are a good substitute!

ReplyDeleteIt's an oil painting. Thanks Cris! :)
