What makes the paper quality museum-grade?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, archival paper. Its 0.29 mm thickness and matte, uncoated finish prevent glare and ensure the artwork remains vibrant and stable for decades.
What are the specifications of the black wooden frame?
The frame is made from responsibly sourced oak and ash, measuring 20mm (0.79") in thickness and width. This provides a robust, high-end aesthetic compared to thinner alternative frames.
Is the artwork protected against damage?
Yes, each print is shielded by shatterproof plexiglass, providing a clear view of the artwork while ensuring it is protected during shipping and daily display.
How does the print arrive for installation?
Your Gerhard Richter print arrives ready-to-hang. It includes a pre-installed hanging kit, allowing you to mount the framed art directly onto your wall without additional hardware.
What is the archival life of these prints?
RedKalion utilizes acid-free, FSC-certified materials and archival inks, ensuring that the print resists yellowing and fading, maintaining its museum-quality appearance for generations.
What was the technique used in Abstract Painting 599?
Gerhard Richter used a squeegee to drag paint across the canvas. This 1986 piece is a prime example of his ability to blend intentionality with spontaneous, rhythmic textures.
Are the materials used in the framing sustainable?
Yes, we use FSC-certified or equivalent responsibly sourced wood for our frames, reflecting RedKalion's commitment to both artistic excellence and environmental responsibility.
