We’re pleased to announce a new edition with Aimée Parrott, launched to coincide with her solo exhibition at Broadway Gallery, Letchworth Garden City.

Juno's Volute is the second edition to be published by FRAME Editions - a series of collaborations between artist and framer in the tradition of artist's frames. It is a series of ten individual monotypes linked by process and form, overlaid with translucent washes of acrylic ink on glass. The frame has been designed to provide a structure for the various layers to interact.

Gilding is the technique used for applying a very thin coating of gold leaf to solid surfaces, such as a the surface of a frame. At FRAME, we think gilded frames provide a timeless, decadent touch to plain walls. Gilding can be opulent or playful or simply elevate the colours in your artwork.

In this post, we’ll show you a brief overview of applying 23.5 carat loose gold leaf to a 2.5 metre square reverse angled frame - which now lives on the wall of a beautiful hotel in Macao.

For our new series ‘Frame at Home’, writer and curator (and close pal of FRAME) Francesca Gavin gives us a glimpse of her incredible art collection at home, including works by Mark Leckey, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye and Eduardo Paolozzi.

Here she gives us her top 5 tips for curating our own art during this time of lockdown.

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.

As the year draws to an end, we wanted to say thank you to all of our wonderful customers, and take a look at some of our favourite framing moments. From Almine Rech to the V&A, we’ve been fortunate to frame for some of London's best museums and galleries. That’s not to mention all of the weird and beautiful framing projects we’ve worked on for our private clients — from a taxidermied bird arrangement, to locks of children's hair, family portraits, antique rugs to Picasso plates and Pettibon prints and an entire apartment's framing for a bollywood star. We have enjoyed it all and hope to see you in 2020!

With the new year fast approaching, we’ve taken inspiration from our work with the V&A, Whitechapel Gallery and Michael Hoppen Gallery (to name a few), and rounded-up some of our best-loved projects to look ahead and predict which interior design framing trends will be popular in 2020.

We're delighted to announce the latest FRAME Editions collaboration - a special new artists’ edition by Marc Camille Chaimowicz co-produced with Nottingham Contemporary, created to celebrate their tenth anniversary.

The edition which comes in a frame designed by the artist, is conceived as a colour-study for a silk scarf. The repeat pattern, printed in five colours, is split into two halves to imply a fold in the fabric, front and back. Each edition is printed onto a hand-applied background in a colour which recurs in the frame design - resulting in each work being slightly different.

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.

It’s that time of year again - Frieze Art Fair is back and ready to take over your week! Featuring more than 160 of the world's leading galleries, plus a fascinating line-up of talks and events, it’s a must-see for anyone interested in the art world right now.

Here’s a round-up of what we’ve framed at Frieze this year.

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.

We're delighted to announce FRAME Editions - a new project celebrating the relationship between artist and craftsperson with an experimental series of limited edition artworks.

Launching this September, with Aaron Angell is a small edition of works titled Cabbage Solar. Each work is painted on glass and housed in a frame inspired by the techniques used to make Tudor doll's houses.

Here at FRAME London, we’re committed to conservation framing, meaning the methods, materials and techniques we use are all to a museum standard so as to protect and preserve the artwork for longevity. We explain the techniques of conservation mounting a work on paper, and why it is so important for your artwork.
