How does the archival paper ensure the longevity of the artwork?
We use acid-free paper with a pH level above 7. This prevents the paper from yellowing or becoming brittle over time, ensuring the colors and integrity of "House Key" remain preserved for decades.

Created in 1956, "House Key" represents Carter's shift toward more symbolic, surreal imagery. It reflects the post-war American fascination with psychological depth and the intersection of realism and the subconscious.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of the paper?
