The Art of Framing

Framing Talk at Saraband Foundation May 2024

with Sara Terzi, Senior Art Collections Manager at Soho House & Emily Taylor, Co-Director of FRAME London, on the art of framing

Framing offers endless possibilities. So, how do you pick the right one? This talk explored whether you want your frame to be an extension of your artwork or to be almost invisible. Emily and Sara discussed various topics, including establishing a strong relationship with your framer, accentuating artworks, understanding the preferences of different professionals (collectors, curators, interior designers), conservation techniques, budgeting, artist framing specifications, and much more.

'You might be pinning your artwork to the wall, but if you have that spec in place, you can recommend and then you're sort of protected.'

FRAME London has collaborated with major institutions like the V&A and the Royal Academy, while Soho House manages over 8,000 works across their sites.
