A Ten Year Walk Around London with Artist Fuller

August 25, 2017

Fuller's "London Town" framed in our studio

Frames and Stretchers recently completed framing a print of "London Town", an impressive drawing from UK based artist Gareth John Woods who's known professionally as Fuller. Fuller is renowned for his highly detailed renderings of cities, both real and imaginary. The collector brought this print from a signed edition to us. Because the work itself is printed on archival cotton board, it required a serious prime float treatment. The team used “pass-through” hinges to attach the artwork to another backing board. Pass-through hinges are made from mulberry paper, attached to the artwork with reversible, archival rice paste, and then pulled through the backing board to secure the art in place. The work was then encased in a black shadow box frame with conservation acrylic.

It was exciting to have this work to frame on this side of the pond and we continue to build relationships with clients from as far away as Australia and California. We look forward to more artwork from international clients while we continue to serve our community right here on the Lower East Side in Manhattan. Please stop in for a visit to see what we do for yourself and how we can accommodate your own specific framing needs.
