What are the physical characteristics of the aluminum material?
The artwork is printed on 3mm (0.12") brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®. This material features a horizontal grain that provides a sophisticated, metallic texture and exceptional rigidity, ensuring the print never warps or degrades over time.
How is the 'Best Buddies' print finished?
We use a direct-print method on the AluDibond surface, resulting in a matte, glare-free finish. This technique ensures vivid color saturation while the brushed silver effect remains visible in the lighter areas of Haring's design.
Is the hanging hardware included with the print?
Yes, every Keith Haring aluminum print from RedKalion comes with a high-quality hanging kit. The specific hardware varies depending on the fulfillment country to ensure the most secure and aesthetic mounting for your wall type.
How does the brushed silver effect work on the artwork?
In this specific print, any white or light areas in the 'Best Buddies' composition are left unprinted. This allows the natural silver grain of the aluminum to shine through, creating a dynamic, light-catching metallic effect.
How is the artwork protected during shipping?
We utilize premium, reinforced packaging specifically designed for large-format 70x100 cm aluminum panels. This ensures your museum-quality reproduction arrives in pristine condition, ready for immediate display in your home or office.
