Or sometimes I wonder if someone else other than the artist pick the format for display. You know the old adage about buying a painting to match the furniture...well actually, in decor, designers tend to choose framing or other formats to match the decor...not the actual painting. Once my boyfriend had a friend hang his art for an opneing, and his friend did this incredible wire structure to display all the drawings and paintings. It was stunning!

Framing can be distracting and might not appeal to some, most people like buying the paintings and then frame it to their own house style.

The little problem with frames is they can be old fashioned and traditional when the buyer is contemporary and modern for example, it’s best to present the work as simple as possible and leave the rest to the buyers own description.
