Pictures without frames will have more influence on one another, which can make hanging them together more of a challenge. But this also opens possibilities.

I find frames distracting, and leaving the work unframed helps me "see" the art. With works on paper, though, I'll spend whatever I need to to have UV glass, acid-free materials, etc., to preserve the art. I’m unusual in this, but I hang all my paintings unframed.

On the other hand I like painting on museum wrapped canvas and have been experimenting with how to incorporate them into the interior of my home. I thought maybe my paintings would frame life flowing in my space. I recently sold a painting because the frame was artist made and really was a part of the whole.

If I could, it would be a simple frame. BTW, just wanted to let your know your RSS feed is still leading to your old site. I would love to be able to frame my work, but I cannot afford to.

The only question is if the artist show expend energy on this, or leave it to the buyer. So we agree that a frame can add value.
