Re: Question for list serv.



I am unsure of where to order this, but, as you are aware, glass of that size would be a big mistake unless the piece is pastel, etc... Glass would be incredibly heavy, and basically ban the piece from ever traveling, etc.


There is an excellent framer in NYC, GK Framing, that could do this perfect for you, or maybe consult. Their phone: 212.431.0633 . If you ask for Sarah, she really is most helpful with inquiries. I have had much luck with consults and framing from them.

Totally archival, etc...

I wish I could help you more!!!
But, I am unaware of direct sources. Is the Taft doing this itself?

Quoting Mark Rohling <MRohling@Taftmuseum.org>:

I am trying to find a source for "non glare" oversized glazing. It would
be for a framed painting  with the dims of 76" by 82".  I think the
weight and size probably rules out glass in favor of acrylic, but I
could be convinced either way.



Thanks,
