What makes this Richard Diebenkorn print museum-quality?
We use 250 gsm archival-grade paper with a matte finish. This heavy, natural white paper prevents yellowing and ensures that the intricate color fields of Diebenkorn’s Berkeley 8 remain vibrant and true to the original for decades.
What are the specifications of the black wooden frame?
The frame is crafted from solid oak or ash, measuring 20mm (0.79") in width and thickness. This provides a substantial, premium feel compared to standard 14mm frames, perfectly complementing the large 70x100 cm format.
Is the artwork ready to hang upon delivery?
Yes. Every RedKalion framed print includes a pre-installed hanging kit. The shatterproof plexiglass and sturdy frame construction ensure it is ready to elevate your walls immediately after unboxing.
How is the print protected during shipping?
We utilize specialized secure packaging and shatterproof plexiglass. This ensures your Richard Diebenkorn reproduction arrives in pristine condition, regardless of the transit distance, protecting it from both impact and UV exposure.
Is this print produced sustainably?
Absolutely. We use FSC-certified or equivalent sustainably sourced wood for our frames and paper. This ensures that your fine art print supports responsible forest management while maintaining the highest archival standards.
What is the historical significance of the Berkeley series?
Created in the mid-1950s, Diebenkorn’s Berkeley series is a landmark of Abstract Expressionism. It reflects his transition from figurative work to a gestural style that interprets the California landscape through complex layers and aerial-like perspectives.
How does Berkeley 8 reflect Diebenkorn's unique technique?
Berkeley 8 showcases Diebenkorn's 'pentimenti'—visible traces of previous layers and revisions. This transparency creates a sense of history and movement within the painting, illustrating his belief that the process of painting is as important as the final image.
