Learn about Art Installation

Art installation brings an artwork into a space with its position, scale and relationship to the room in mind. A work intended for a wall, floor or immersive setting calls for a different approach to display and fixing. When comparing installers, consider the artwork’s materials and weight, the construction of the surface and the intended viewing experience.

Handling and installing artworks at a museum, gallery, or other show venues is part of a professional art installer's responsibilities. They transport art to the gallery and load and unload it, creating the art installation. Additionally, they employ equipment to hang, mount, or attach the artwork in any other location the exhibitor selects. ArchiPro features only the best art installation experts in New Zealand.

Art framing

Custom picture framing and art framing adds a creative border or frame around fine paintings, antique posters, pictures, or any other piece of artwork. This includes glass to protect it against UV rays, water, dust, and scratches.

Earthquake-proof hanging

Specialised tools are required for large, hefty works of art and professional picture hangers know the right procedures to follow to guarantee the task is done correctly.

FAQs

Why is framing important in art?

The frames may greatly influence the way we view art. They can be crucial in safeguarding the artwork and improving its appearance. Some frames may even increase the overall value of the piece of art that is shown inside them.

Does framing art increase its value?

Yes, artwork framing positively impacts the artwork's worth. The frame may even be more expensive or valuable than the picture itself if it is elaborate or substantial. The frame should be from the same era as the artwork, although historically, frames from the 19th century can increase the value of a picture more than ones from the 20th.

What is custom picture framing?

In addition to selecting the best mat type and colour to match the artwork and the space in which it will be placed, custom picture framing also entails selecting the best frame design and style and deciding on the right kind of glazing.

What height should pictures be hung?

The middle of the image should be 57 inches from the floor when hanging a photograph. This serves as a benchmark in the majority of art museums and galleries in New Zealand and represents the average person's standard eye height.
