Framing Linder: 'Danger Came Smiling'
We have framed countless Linder photomontages over the years and we were thrilled to be able to frame her photomontages for Danger Came Smiling. The works were mounted within thick museum mounts and housed in a combination of simple black wooden frames and Linder’s signature aluminium frames in black, gold and silver with 99% UV protective Artglass.

All things fungi at Somerset House: our Q&A with curator Francesca Gavin
Bringing together the work of over 40 leading artists, designers and musicians, Mushrooms at Somerset House looks at the colourful cultural legacy of fungi as well as the promise it offers to reimagine our relationship with the planet. We’ve been proud to support the exhibition, and continue our collaboration with the curator (and long-time friend of FRAME), Francesca Gavin. Here we talk to her about the fascination with all things fungi, and what informs her curatorial and framing choices.
Framing Kara Walker
This October has seen the unveiling of Kara Walker’s extraordinary new commission for the Tate Modern Turbine Hall - a monumental faux-Victorian fountain entitled Fons Americanus that confronts the way we look at the history of slavery. Running concurrently to the commission is a new exhibition by the artist at Sprueth Magers Gallery, which we have had the honour of framing.
Framing Tim Walker: Making A Pearlescent Frame
This summer, we’ve had the great pleasure of framing Tim Walker’s upcoming exhibition at the V&A. We made a series of specialist bespoke frames for this exhibition, designed and created especially for the show in consultation with Tim Walker and the creative team at the V&A.
This article explains the process of making a pearlescent frame by hand, as seen on the V&A’s Instagram stories this August. From cutting lengths of wood to polishing the final finished frame, we’ll walk you through what happens at each stage in our workshop.
