What materials are used for the Alexander Calder Black Sun print?
The artwork is crafted on 4mm (0.15") high-grade acrylic, providing a sleek, vibrant, and durable finish that outperforms standard glass in clarity and impact resistance.
How is the acrylic print mounted to the wall?
Each print includes a professional hanging kit with screws. It features pre-drilled holes in each corner (14mm from the edge) with 15mm screw heads for a secure and modern installation.
Will the colors of the Black Sun 1953 fade over time?
No. We use archival-grade inks and UV-resistant acrylic to ensure your fine art print retains its original depth and color intensity for decades.
What happens to the transparent areas of the artwork?
In our printing process, any transparent or translucent areas in the original file are defaulted to a solid white background to ensure the colors remain bold and visible.
Is the shipping process secure for large acrylic pieces?
Yes. RedKalion uses specialized, high-impact protective packaging to ensure your 70x100 cm acrylic print arrives in pristine condition, regardless of the destination.
What is the significance of 'Black Sun' in Calder's body of work?
Created in 1953, 'Black Sun' represents Calder's mastery of the 'Stabile' aesthetic in two dimensions, exploring themes of cosmic order and the interplay between void and solid form.
Why choose an acrylic print over a traditional canvas for Calder’s art?
Acrylic prints offer a high-gloss finish and luminous depth that enhances the graphic precision and bold color blocks of Calder's mid-century style, creating a more contemporary feel.
