EACH artwork IS LIMITED EDITION
All photographs sold at The Selects Gallery are strictly limited in edition size. They are available until sold out and never reproduced again. We work in close partnership with the artists and estates as a primary market gallery. In many cases we are their exclusive gallery. We therefore control the provenance of each artwork to ensure market value.
EACH artwork COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
The Certificate of Authenticity is a document that certifies that the sold artwork is an authentic creation by the artist and will include the edition number. In most cases, the certificate of authenticity will come separately from the mounted piece.Expertly Crafted Quality
We offer archival quality prints
We partner with one of the fine art photography printing house with the longest history and connection to the photography world, and print under the supervision of the photographers and/or their estate. We select high end papers for their optimal rendering based on the image and mounting choice. In some cases, the print is shipped directly by the estate or the artist, and they select the printing house and paper.
WE OFFER MUSEUM QUALITY MOUNTING AND FRAMING
Prints are professionally mounted on High grade acrylic, aluminum clad panels or foamcore. Every frame is made to measure and assembled by hand in the US. We use the US manufacturer Larson-Juhl for our custom size wood frames, which are FSC® and PEFC® certified.
Framing Options
Dibond
The photograph is printed on 100% cotton Fine Art Paper, precisely mounted to a triple-layered composite material of the exact same size. A UV-protective laminate is applied to help protect the work from damage. Dibond is the most minimalist option and gives a very sleek look to the photograph, as if the only thing we see is the print. It offers a timeless look and ensures stability while maintaining a low weight. It is ideal for a gallery-quality presentation in any format.
Acrylic
The photograph is printed on high-end paper specifically chosen to bring out all of its best characteristics with acrylic mounting. It is then mounted under glossy acrylic glass featuring perfect polished edges.
With acrylic mounting, the contrast and colors are intensified, the image will show a sense of depth with colors that are vibrant and vivid. If you prefer the sleek, raw look of borderless presentation yet still want to protect your photograph, acrylic is perfect create a “frame-less” effect while still protecting the art inside from dust and damage.

HIGH QUALITY HANGING
All of our presentations come ready to hang with the hardware.
We use subframe fixing for hanging: a subframe is an aluminium profile attached to the reverse of the mounted image. This is then hung onto a batten fixed to the wall by slotting the battens on the back of the mounted image into the wall battens.
A subframe moulding will give the impression of your artwork “floating” from the surface of the wall.
The moulding is approximately 20mm wide.
Make sure to choose the proper tools and technique for a heavier picture anchors depending on your wall.
We offer installation services, please contact us if you have any inquiry. The second set of battens is screwed to the wall.
CARING FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPH
We produce our photographs with the highest quality standards, however their appearance and color can change and fade.
In order to limit that change over time, please consider placing your mounted image, either in parts or in full, out of direct sunlight or any intense light source and covering the frame with an opaque hanging cloth to block all light when the image is not being viewed.
Hang them away from working fireplaces or heating appliances and from intake or outtake vents. Please keep them always on interior walls which do not reach the same temperature extremes or bear as much moisture as exterior walls, out of bathrooms, attics, basements, or any other areas prone to environmental extremes and with high risk of water leaks.
Your mounted image should be handled gently and infrequently. Acrylic glass and wooden frames are very sensitive to scratches and dirt and should therefore only be handled with gloves or equivalent protection. For caring and cleaning, simply a use a feather duster.
