Framing St. Louis
Grumbler
You were all so helpful the first time around I thought I'd steal some more of your knowledge!
I'm purchasing a limited edition(100)print from a popular St. Louis artist. This is a hand water-colored print.
He typically sells this print preframed. I ordered the print unframed, the artist said he would be glad to "dry mount" the piece for me!
When I told him we would never dry mount a valuable limited edition print, he advised "his customers would never understand why the print was wrinkled."
The artist told me that he has donated a few of these copies to charity auctions and they have sold for between $2000 - $3000.
I'm pretty sure this is an old subject for you experts but please help me understand all of the issues involved here.
