Framing guide

Framing protects the work and changes how it sits on the wall. Ask what is included before you buy.

Canvas vs paper

Stretched canvas may arrive ready to hang or need a float frame. Works on paper usually need glazing and a mat.

Ask the artist whether the listed price includes a frame.

Glass and UV

For works on paper, UV-filter glazing and acid-free mats reduce fading and foxing over time.

Avoid hanging fragile works in direct sun or above heat sources.

Agree details with the artist

Many artists can frame before shipping or advise a local framer. Put preferences in the message when you contact them.

Shipping a framed work costs more — confirm packing and insurance together.

FAQ

Is framing included in the price?
Only if the listing or the artist says so. Always ask.
Can I frame later?
Yes. Unframed canvas or paper can be framed locally after delivery.

You contact the artist directly — Kunst24 is typically not party to the sale.
