What makes this Howard Hodgkin print museum-quality?
RedKalion uses 250 gsm natural white archival paper with a matte finish. This ensures the 1968 palette is reproduced with color accuracy and long-term durability, meeting the standards of fine art collectors.
Is the frame ready to hang upon arrival?
Yes, each framed art print includes a professional hanging kit. The frame is constructed from responsibly sourced 20mm thick black wooden oak or ash, providing a robust, gallery-ready presentation.
How is the artwork protected during shipping and display?
We use shatterproof plexiglass to protect the print from damage and UV exposure. This material provides the clarity of glass while ensuring the piece remains safe during transit and within your home.
Are the materials used in this print sustainable?
RedKalion is committed to environmental responsibility. We use FSC-certified materials or equivalent for our frames and paper, ensuring your fine art print supports sustainable forestry practices.
How long will the archival paper last without fading?
The 250 gsm museum-quality paper is acid-free and archival-grade. When kept out of direct sunlight, these materials are designed to last for decades without yellowing or significant color degradation.
What does Bedroom (1968) represent in Howard Hodgkin's career?
This piece marks a pivotal era where Hodgkin transitioned from figuration to emotive abstraction, focusing on the memory of a space rather than its literal architectural details.
Why is the frame thicker than standard retail options?
Our 20mm (0.79") wide frames are intentionally designed to be wider than the standard 14mm frames, providing increased structural integrity and a more premium, authoritative aesthetic on your wall.
