Behind the Scenes: Specialty Mats for Specialty Prints

 

This morning I was greeted by an early shipment of mats, which I ordered for the prints for sale at the upcoming Eternal Color show, which will be on view Feb 1-March 31 at Bolt Gallery.

When it comes to mats, I take great care, and all of them are special-ordered. Double-deep museum quality mats are not as easy to find.  However, these required even more customization since the aspect ratio for the paintings is unusual. These are specially designed to accommodate the tall paintings in the Eternal Color Series.

The artwork is matted with “museum cut” mats, which are twice as thick as one would usually expect. This is different than the standard mat thickness, and creates a luxurious art framing experience.  

These beautiful, crisp, heavy mats are almost a work of art in themselves.

If you are among those who come to own one of these pieces, I hope you will enjoy these mats as much as I do!
