We recently framed this pair of figures, Dancing Hare Toddy and Dancing Kong Tamari, c. 1980, by Chicago Imagist, Karl Wirsum.
Each figure was archivally hinged and elevated within the shadowbox frame to allow more visual depth. The simplicity and contrast of the black frame with the ragboard mount nicely offsets prominent teal color, while reinforcing the linear design in the figures. White ragboard spacers were used to line the interior of the frame. Conservation clear glass was installed to help protect the work from UV light. The original envelope for the set was encapsulated and mounted to the backboard on the verso.
Our designers work with our clients to review and select the right frame profile, mount, glazing, backboard and overall presentation. We enjoy creating the right frame to display our client’s artwork, while archivally mounting and framing the piece to ensure its longevity.
