What materials are used for the Between the Clock and the Bed print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival museum-quality paper. This matte, uncoated paper is chosen for its thickness (0.29 mm) and its ability to represent Jasper Johns’ complex textures with exceptional fidelity.
How is the Jasper Johns reproduction framed?
The print is housed in a 20mm thick black frame made from responsibly sourced ash and oak wood. This professional-grade frame is wider than standard options, providing a modern, gallery-standard aesthetic for your wall.
Is the artwork protected from damage and fading?
Yes, each print is protected by shatterproof, transparent plexiglass. This provides a durable barrier against dust and physical damage, while our archival-grade inks and FSC-certified paper prevent yellowing over time.
Does the framed print arrive ready to hang?
Absolutely. Every order includes a specialized hanging kit. The artwork is pre-assembled in its black wooden frame, allowing you to display this Jasper Johns masterpiece immediately upon delivery.
How does RedKalion ensure the sustainability of its prints?
We prioritize environmental health by using FSC-certified materials or local equivalents. This ensures that the wood for our frames and the paper for our prints are sourced from responsibly managed forests.
What is the significance of the title Between the Clock and the Bed?
Johns took the title from Edvard Munch’s late self-portrait. The "clock" represents the passage of time and the "bed" represents mortality, with Johns using his signature hatching to explore these existential themes through abstraction.
What characterizes Jasper Johns’ technique in this 1989 work?
This period of Johns' work is defined by the "hatch" motif—parallel lines in varying clusters. In the 1989 version, he uses these marks to create a sense of depth and rhythmic movement without traditional perspective.
