By utilizing archival-grade, FSC-certified paper and high-density pigments, our prints are engineered for longevity, resisting the yellowing and fading common in mass-market reproductions.

Each frame is fitted with shatterproof plexiglass. This provides the same clarity as traditional glass but with significantly higher durability and safety for your home environment.

Davis used stripes to explore 'color intervals,' treating the canvas like a musical score where the repetition of lines creates a rhythmic, pulsating visual frequency for the viewer.
How does Barricades (1968) reflect the Washington Color School movement?
