What paper quality is used for this Sam Francis reproduction?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) museum-quality, natural white paper. It is archival, matte, and uncoated, ensuring long-term durability and vibrant color representation without glare.
What are the specifications of the black wooden frame?
The frame is 20mm (0.79") thick and wide, crafted from sustainably sourced oak or ash. It provides a more substantial, premium profile than standard 14mm gallery frames.
Is the artwork ready to hang upon arrival?
Yes, every framed print from RedKalion includes a professional hanging kit, allowing you to easily mount the artwork directly onto your wall immediately after unboxing.
How is the print protected from damage and fading?
The artwork is protected by premium shatterproof plexiglass. Combined with our archival-grade paper, this setup ensures the print remains shielded from dust and physical impact while maintaining its integrity.
Is the production process environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. We use FSC-certified wood and paper (or local equivalent) to ensure our products are sourced responsibly and support sustainable forestry practices.
What defined Sam Francis’s unique approach to Abstract Expressionism?
Francis was famous for his use of negative space and fluid, translucent layers of color, often influenced by Japanese aesthetics and the light found in the San Francisco Bay Area.
How do I clean the plexiglass on my framed print?
To maintain clarity, use a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners; a slightly damp cloth with water is usually sufficient to remove light dust.
