What defines the paper quality of the Castle Banner 5 print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) museum-quality, natural white paper. This archival-grade, acid-free material ensures the longevity of the Sam Gilliam reproduction, maintaining color vibrancy without yellowing over time.
Is the black wooden frame sustainably sourced?
Yes, our frames are crafted from FSC-certified oak and ash wood. The 20mm thickness provides a premium, durable structure that is more substantial than standard 14mm gallery frames.
How is the artwork protected during shipping?
Each framed print is meticulously packaged with reinforced corners and protective wrapping. We use shatterproof plexiglass rather than standard glass to ensure your artwork arrives in pristine condition.
Does the print arrive ready for immediate display?
Absolutely. Your Sam Gilliam print arrives fully assembled in its black wooden frame with a hanging kit included, allowing for immediate installation in your home or gallery space.
Will the colors of this Sam Gilliam reproduction fade over time?
No. By utilizing archival-grade inks and 250 gsm matte paper, our museum-quality reproductions are designed to resist UV degradation and fading, ensuring the artwork endures for decades.
What is the significance of the 'Castle Banner' series in Gilliam's career?
The Castle Banner series represents Gilliam’s evolution into textured abstraction. It showcases his ability to blend the improvisational spirit of Color Field painting with more rigid, geometric, and tactile compositions.
How does the 20mm frame differ from standard gallery frames?
Our 20mm (0.79") frames are wider and thicker than the industry-standard 14mm frames, offering a more luxurious, high-end aesthetic that provides better structural support for large-format art.
