What makes the RedKalion reproduction of Martin Barré's '62-5' unique?
Our reproduction uses archival-grade 250 gsm paper and high-definition ink to replicate the specific density of Barré’s 1962 spray-can technique, ensuring a museum-quality aesthetic that honors the minimalist history of the original work.
What are the specific measurements and materials of the frame?
The frame is crafted from premium, responsibly sourced black oak and ash. It measures 20mm (0.79") in both width and thickness, providing a more substantial and luxurious feel than standard 14mm frames.
Is the print protected against environmental damage?
Yes. Each Martin Barré print is protected by shatterproof, transparent plexiglass and printed on FSC-certified, acid-free museum paper (0.29 mm thickness) to ensure archival longevity and resistance to yellowing.
How is the framed art print shipped and is it ready to hang?
We ship our prints in secure, protective packaging. Your 70x100 cm frame arrives fully assembled and includes a professional hanging kit, making it ready to hang directly on your wall upon arrival.
Does this print use sustainable materials?
Absolutely. RedKalion is committed to sustainability, using FSC-certified wood and paper or equivalent certifications, ensuring that your art collection supports responsible forest management and environmental standards.
What was Martin Barré's 'bombage' technique used in 1962?
The 'bombage' technique involved using an aerosol spray can to create lines. This allowed Barré to explore the 'zero degree' of painting, emphasizing the physical movement of the line across the canvas rather than traditional texture.
Why is '62-5' considered a significant work in minimalist art?
'62-5' is a masterclass in spatial awareness. By using minimal marks, Barré forces the viewer to engage with the canvas's emptiness, making the void as important as the line itself, a cornerstone of minimalist theory.
