What makes this Philip Guston acrylic print museum-quality?
We use premium 4mm acrylic and archival inks to ensure vibrant color reproduction and long-term durability. This method preserves the intricate details and emotional resonance of Guston’s original work, meeting the standards of high-end art galleries and collectors.
How is the print mounted and installed?
Each print includes a professional hanging kit with screws and hardware. The acrylic features pre-drilled holes at each corner, 14mm from the edge, with an 8mm diameter to accommodate the 15mm screw heads for a secure, flush mount.
Does the 4mm acrylic offer UV protection and durability?
Yes, the 4mm (0.15") acrylic is highly durable and naturally resistant to light wear. It provides a sleek, glass-like finish that enhances the depth of the artwork while protecting the pigments from environmental factors.
How are colors and transparency handled on the acrylic?
To ensure maximum vibrancy and clarity, any transparent areas in the artwork default to a solid white background. This ensures that Guston’s specific color palette remains punchy and true to the original composition.
What are the shipping and handling logistics for this large format print?
Our 70x100 cm prints are securely packaged in protective layers to prevent scratches or cracks during transit. RedKalion partners with premium carriers to ensure your archival masterpiece arrives in perfect gallery condition.
What is the significance of the title 'AS IT GOES' in Guston’s work?
'AS IT GOES' reflects Guston’s late-career obsession with the passage of time and the existential nature of everyday objects, rendered with his signature blend of irony and profound vulnerability.
Why did Philip Guston move from abstraction to this figurative style?
Guston felt abstraction had become too 'pure' and detached from the turmoil of the real world. He returned to figuration in the late 1960s to tell stories and explore the complexities of the human condition.
