How do I date a canvas abstract painting?

Dating relies on recorded exhibition signatures, stylistic markers of mid-century modernism, and stretcher construction typical of the 1930s to 1960s. Material analysis of the canvas and oil paint further assists in confirming the exact period of production.

Are these paintings supplied framed?

Many pieces retain their original or period wood frames, while others are presented unframed on canvas or board. Listing titles specify whether a wood frame is included with the artwork.

What is the difference between oil on canvas and oil on board?

Oil on canvas utilises a flexible woven support stretched over a wooden frame, offering traditional resilience. Oil on board employs a rigid wooden backing panel, which creates a firmer, flatter painting surface.

How do I hang a heavy impasto oil painting?

Heavy impasto works require secure wall fixings suited to the combined weight of the canvas, board, and wooden frame. Professional picture wire and appropriate wall anchors ensure the piece is supported safely.
