What materials are used for this John Cage fine art print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival museum-quality paper. This uncoated matte paper ensures the 7R15 Where Ryoanji reproduction maintains its integrity and color depth for decades without yellowing.
What are the specifications of the black wooden frame?
The frame is crafted from responsibly sourced ash wood, measuring 20mm (0.79") in both thickness and width. This provides a premium, sturdy profile that is significantly more substantial than common 14mm alternatives.
Is the artwork protected from damage and fading?
Yes, each print is protected by high-quality shatterproof plexiglass. This provides the clarity of glass with superior durability, shielding your John Cage artwork from dust and environmental wear.
Is the packaging and paper environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. RedKalion uses FSC-certified materials or local equivalents, ensuring that the wood for the frames and the paper for the prints are sourced from sustainably managed forests.
How do I hang this 70x100 cm framed print?
Your artwork arrives ready-to-hang. We include a dedicated hanging kit designed for the weight and dimensions of the 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) frame, ensuring a secure and effortless installation.
What is the significance of the title 'Where R=Ryoanji'?
The title refers to the Ryoan-ji Zen temple in Kyoto. John Cage used the 'R' to represent the garden's stones. The series explores chance and silence, mirroring the garden's 15 stones that are never all visible at once.
How did John Cage create the 1983 Ryoanji drawings?
Cage employed the I Ching (Book of Changes) to determine the placement and number of stone tracings on the paper. This process removed the artist's ego, allowing the 'silence' of the paper to speak through chance.
