After finally deciding to get my DAVID CHOE Triptych framed up in one big frame I have been to my trusty framers and he doesnt have a mount big enough, asked me to source it myself.......... Any Ideas.

He needs the Mount to be 73" (1850mm) x 40" (1000mm)......Dont want to have to get the peices framed individually........

Any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks

Try Mr Frameman, he sells mounts on their own too!

that would be my advice too- to big as a triptch

[telsin]

maybe try

www.picturelizard.co.uk/Custom_Cut_Photo_Mounts.php?cPath=169_304

but i would also frame individually

[pokodogo]

Yeah seen the jumbo board and biggest ive found after numerous phonecalls and searching is 64" x 44" in limited colours.

Dont want to frame them individually, i feel the peice needs to be framed in one large peice.

Any more advice ..............

[pokodogo]

Thanks telsin

but tried there already dont do that big.

[manty]

Float mount them

Next question please

[pokodogo]

manty

Certain that float mounting wouldnt work with it.

P.s. Fantastico collection youve got there, see plenty of Choe, why you never fancied the Triptych (dont say cos its so hard to frame)

You could ask your framer to splice 2 mounts together, though I do not like doing this myself as it never looks right, another way is to splice 2 mounts together and cover with sort of fabric or material . If the images were on one piece of paper, he could use a wide plain wood slip, painted or again covered with material, as-long as the under side of the wood slip is sealed so the chemicals from the wood do not leech onto the paper, this is the way I would do it, in fact if you look at the history of framing, slips were used before mountcard to keep the glass off the artwork. Hope you are not wanting Conservation / Museum glass , because that does not come in that size 60"x40" max!

poko,
where are you located. in the states i can get up to 96". If youre in UK, check with Mr Frameman, he knows his shit! Good luck

[pokodogo]

UK unfortunately.........

....as always everythings bigger in the States

Asked my framer about using a slip, but he insisted it wouldnt look right and wouldnt do the peice any justice.

Have you tried John Jones Framers www.johnjones.co.uk

[pokodogo]

Thanks retrome

Just sent them an email

Could be last resort, looking like framing them each on there own. No joy anywhere else today.

Nielsen Bainbridge do super jumbo (alpharag artcare) in white or white, i think they only sell these in 25 packs though!


Bainbridge or Cresent also do
48 x 72"
48 x 96"


Just in my opinion but putting them all together will not do them justice at all, that's speaking as a fan of these images and a framer

[pokodogo]

May try there then george

Any suggestions how you would frame them up (mount colour / frame etc), my framer did a good job of my "London Girl" see David Choe under framed art, so usually just leave it up to him.

[Daniel Silk]

Was talking to a Framer today, and the biggest they could get was 64"x44"

[wizzy]

Thats a coincidence Silky because today i was chatting with a Farmer and hes got a new John Deere tractor!.
