What are the physical specifications of the acrylic material?
We use premium 4mm (0.15") thick acrylic, which provides a vibrant, durable finish and superior depth compared to standard glass. This museum-quality material ensures your Gene Davis print remains a centerpiece for years.
Is the hanging hardware included with the print?
Yes, each order includes a complete hanging kit featuring specialized screws and hardware. The print comes with pre-drilled 8mm holes at each corner for a secure and modern installation.
How does RedKalion ensure the archival longevity of the artwork?
We utilize archival-grade inks and high-grade acrylic that offers natural UV protection. This process prevents fading and maintains the precise color intervals characteristic of Gene Davis's original 1980 composition.
What happens to transparent or white areas in the original image?
To ensure the highest visual impact and color density, any transparent or white backgrounds in the artwork default to a solid white backing during the printing process for optimal presentation.
How is the print protected during shipping?
Every acrylic print is meticulously layered in protective packaging and shipped in heavy-duty crates to ensure it arrives in pristine condition at your gallery or residence.
What is the significance of the stripe motif in Gene Davis's work?
Gene Davis used vertical stripes to explore 'color intervals,' much like a composer uses notes. In 'Adam's Rib,' the stripes create a rhythmic, non-compositional space that challenges the viewer's perception of rhythm and depth.
How does 'Adam's Rib' represent the late period of the Washington Color School?
Produced in 1980, this work showcases the evolution of Color Field painting, moving toward a more complex and nuanced interplay of hues that defined Davis's later career and the school's enduring legacy.
