Printing, Display & Output

Exhibition Print

A print made to the highest standard for gallery display, with materials and finishing chosen for both appearance and longevity.

In depth

An exhibition print is a considered object rather than an output: paper, size, border, mounting, glazing and even the wall's illumination form part of the decision. It is typically produced in an edition with the process, date and number recorded, since those details affect both its conservation and its value.

Examples in practice

An edition of fifteen is printed on baryta, hinge-mounted, framed under museum glass and documented individually.
