Artist Linda Nilsson’s Nirvana is both gallery wrapped and placed in what is called a “floater frame.” You can (and many artists often do) frame a gallery-wrapped piece. Gallery wrapping is when the artwork is stretched and affixed onto stretcher bars. A frame is not only the four pieces of wood (or other materials) that surround the border of a piece, but also the backing that provides structure and support to your artwork. In our decades in NYC, we’ve shown many pieces both framed and gallery wrapped, and while one isn’t necessarily better than the other, there are several pitfalls to avoid in both display methods that can make a painting look unprofessional and messy during an exhibition.įirst, let’s quickly define each. We have often been asked, “What is the best way to display artwork in a gallery? Should I frame my paintings, or should I show them gallery wrapped?” Well, at Agora Gallery, we are proud to display artwork in a wide range of forms and presentation.
