DO I HANG IT?
Of course I do. But how could I hang it? In fact, there are various ways to hang a fine art print, always using acid-free passe-partout and double-sided adhesives. These are just a few tips to make the most of my trees on a wall
simple white frame
The simplest solution, suitable for sizes 45×60 and 60×80 cm. I imagine it thin and in opaque white painted-wood to allow freedom for the tree. White because it is pure light, one of the points of my project. Opaque because it is more natural. The hanger is hidden behind the frame and therefore not visible. It stands out well on gray or colored walls. Some clients have opted for the black/grey solution to detach it from a white background. Glass, if provided, is better anti-reflective.
frame with passe-partout
An elegant solution, suitable for sizes 45×60 and 60×80 cm. For the 97,5 x 130 cm format I recommend first sticking the print on a 4 mm MDF panel, spreading it perfectly by means of a calender. It is an extra step but for those who will then have to put it in the frame it will be much easier. In any case, I imagine it thin, in matt gray painted wood, with acid-free white passe-partout for fine art prints. I think it would be optimal with a gray near the darkest part of the print, but then it depends on the tastes … The hanger is hidden behind the frame and therefore not visible. It stands out well on any type of wall. Glass, if provided, is better anti-reflective.

I hope these examples may have been useful. Surely they do not cover all the infinite possibilities to hang or frame a fine art print, so they are still available for other solutions that you may have in mind.
