Do works purchased on the website come framed?
Only works that are framed in the image on the online store will be shipped framed.
Typically, the gallery only sells works on paper and photographs framed and the cost of framing is included in the price. If you have specific questions about the style of frame used, please contact the gallery and a member of staff would be happy to provide additional information and images.
Paintings or canvases are typically sold unframed, with custom framing available at an additional cost. If you would like to arrange custom framing, please contact the gallery by email, [email protected], or phone, +1 (416) 205-9000, to discuss further and to receive a quote.
