What materials are used for this fine art print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival museum-quality paper. It is uncoated and matte, providing a sophisticated texture that resists yellowing over time, ensuring your René Portocarrero print remains vibrant for decades.
How is the artwork framed and protected?
The print is housed in a 20mm thick black wooden frame made from sustainably sourced oak or ash. To ensure maximum durability and safety, we use shatterproof plexiglass rather than standard glass, protecting the artwork from damage and UV exposure.
Is the print ready to hang upon delivery?
Yes, your framed City 1954 print arrives ready to hang. We include a dedicated hanging kit with every order, allowing for a seamless and secure installation process immediately after unboxing.
What makes the RedKalion frame superior to others?
Our frames are 20mm (0.79") wide and thick, offering a sturdier and more luxurious aesthetic compared to the common 14mm (0.55") frames. This extra depth provides a professional, gallery-style presence on your wall.
Is this product environmentally sustainable?
Absolutely. We use FSC-certified paper and wood or equivalent sustainable materials. This ensures that your fine art reproduction is produced with respect for global forest conservation standards.
What is the historical significance of Portocarrero's City series?
René Portocarrero's 'City' (Ciudad) series, particularly from the 1950s, explores the 'Cuban Baroque.' He used rhythmic lines and vibrant colors to interpret Havana's architectural complexity, cementing his status as a master of Latin American modernism.
Does the 70x100 cm size accurately reflect the artist's vision?
The 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) format is ideal for City 1954, as it allows the viewer to appreciate the intricate architectural details and sweeping geometric movements that Portocarrero intended in his larger-scale urban compositions.
