What kind of paper is used for this Ed Ruscha print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. It is a natural white, uncoated, matte paper that is FSC-certified, ensuring both longevity and environmental responsibility for your fine art reproduction.
What are the specifications of the black wooden frame?
The frame is crafted from premium, responsibly sourced ash or oak. It measures 20mm (0.79") in both width and thickness, providing a robust and sophisticated profile that exceeds the durability of standard 14mm frames.

What is the significance of the Spam can in 'Actual Size'?
In 1962, Ruscha used the Spam can to explore the relationship between consumer products and high art. It represents the 'New Realism' of the era, focusing on the graphic beauty of everyday American life.
Why is the piece titled 'Actual Size'?
The title refers to the literal representation of the product. Ruscha plays with the concept of scale, placing the 'actual size' can in a large void of space to emphasize its status as a commercial icon.
