HOW DO I HANG MY NEW PIECE OF ART? 

All framed and gallery mounted artwork comes ready to hang with hardware.

The gallery and museum standard is between 57- 60 inches from the center of the piece to the floor. This typically meets the eyeline of the viewer no matter the height. If you are hanging a salon wall, above a mantle or have walls taller than 8 ft don’t focus on the 57” rule, use best judgement and let the art bring the room together. Send us a photo of your work installed – we love install shots!

WORK ON PAPER

Works on paper utilize the same scanning process as the Synograph, resulting in an immaculately detailed piece with all of the characteristics of the original work. Each piece is presented on premium archival, heavyweight, rag paper.

 

INK WASH

At General Public we believe each piece of art should be represented as it is created, authentically. We developed a unique water process to create hand finished edges that mimic the effect of a painting that was created on paper. Each piece is finished individually, resulting in unique visual characteristics.
