I was inspired to design this frame system after a studio
visit with the artist, Arthur Cohen. Looking around his studio on the Upper East Side I noticed a
few wonderful small paintings, some of his wife Elizabeth at the piano and one
or two of the harbor in Provincetown Massachusetts. Immediately I thought, wow I really like these paintings but
boy are they going to be difficult to frame, so I asked him if I made panels
designed to fit into a frame would he be willing to paint on them. He
reluctantly agreed but soon became the gallery’s most prolific small works
artist. He enjoyed painting on
them- at one point he called the gallery asking to send more as he was leaving
for the summer and had run out. He
painted on the panels up until his death in the spring of 2012.
The frame system is priced at $49 the frame is solid
mahogany and come with one panel that floats in the frame with a perfect revel
it is wired and ready to hang.
