What are the physical dimensions and paper quality of this Rothko print?
This 70x100 cm (28x40") print is produced on 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival museum-quality paper. The 0.29 mm thickness and matte, uncoated finish provide a premium, glare-free aesthetic suitable for high-end interior design.
Is the black wooden frame sustainably sourced and durable?
Yes, the 20mm thick frame is crafted from FSC-certified oak and ash. It features a wider profile (20mm) than standard frames for enhanced durability and a gallery-standard appearance, finished with shatterproof plexiglass for optimal protection.
Will the artwork arrive ready to hang on my wall?
Absolutely. Every RedKalion framed art print includes a professional-grade hanging kit. The artwork is delivered pre-assembled within the black wooden frame, allowing you to elevate your space immediately upon delivery.
How does the archival paper ensure the longevity of the print?
We use 250 gsm archival paper that is acid-free and pH-buffered. This prevents yellowing and degradation over time, ensuring that the intense blues and reds of Rothko’s 1953 masterpiece remain vibrant for generations.
What shipping precautions are taken for large framed prints?
Our 70x100 cm prints are protected by shatterproof plexiglass and secured in specialized protective packaging. This ensures your museum-quality reproduction arrives in pristine condition, regardless of transit distance.
What is the historical significance of Blue Over Red (1953)?
1953 was a definitive year for Mark Rothko as he solidified his signature style of stacked rectangular forms. Blue Over Red explores the tension between light and dark, representing the artist's move toward pure emotional abstraction.
Does this reproduction accurately capture Rothko’s technique?
Yes, our high-resolution printing captures the characteristic 'soft edges' of Rothko’s work. The matte 250 gsm paper mimics the texture of the original canvas, allowing the color fields to appear as if they are floating in space.
