The Best Picture Frames for Prints on Aluminium in New York
Custom White Wood Frame for Print on Aluminium in New York Original Artwork by David LaChappelle
For a daring chromogenic print by David LaChappelle, our designers created one of the best picture frames for prints on aluminium in New York. Our client chose a white gallery hardwood frame for this print mounted on aluminium in our New York studio. The aluminium print is floated onto wood board, with a custom strainer built into the back of the piece to ensure stability and the best preservation for large-scale artworks.

Legendary American photographer David LaChappelle is perhaps best known for his uncanny and provocative artworks that will be sure to gauge a reaction from viewers. With a meticulous attention to composition, pop art colors and subversive scenes, his artworks have garnered the attention of many art collectors and have been exhibited internationally for decades, as well as being featured in fashion and editorial magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and New York Times Magazine.
David LaChappelle was noticed by Andy Warhol while he worked as a busboy at Studio 54 at the age of 15. According to this New York Times Review, Andy Warhol encouraged LaChappelle to pursue photography, reportedly saying "Do whatever you want. Just make sure everybody looks good."
Importantly, David LaChapelle has gone on to become a crusader for the gay rights movement, such as his infamous Diesel advertisement where he photographed two male sailors kissing in homage to the iconic Times Square WWII photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Using his art as a platform to show more representations of gay couples landed David LaChappelle this photography commission at a time when the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was outlawing openly gay and bisexual oriented persons from service in the US Military.
