How to Frame your Artwork

Source: Business Insider

Framing tips from Cookie Vazquez of C.L.V. Art Services in Manhattan:

1. You need a framer you can trust. Prices and quality vary wildly, and a frame protects your art. For a reference, call another collector or a local gallery.

2. Always get archival, museum-quality frames with UV-blocking Plexiglas. Cheap mats or tape cause damage; glass can shatter and slice up your art.

3. Don’t frame it all. A canvas doesn’t need a frame, and it shouldn’t have Plexi.

4. Ask to see various options—modern, less modern, period, etc. I can do a simple metal frame with UV Plexi for under a hundred bucks. Or we can go with twelve-karat white-gold leaf.
