Getting A Lift is a limited edition of 100 archival prints by Sam Lopes. With a small border for framing, the print measures 6” wide by 8” tall. The archival prints were created by Tiny Showcase and ship with a certificate of authenticity. The artwork has been printed on a heavy 290gsm natural white paper.
The original piece is ink on paper.
Available hand-framed in maple with archival mat and glass by Vermont's Joel Taplin of Taplin MFG. Framed artwork is archivally matted and hung with UV-protective glass. The hand-made frames are made from locally-milled wood with inlaid splines in each corner for added strength. Please allow three weeks for the completion of your custom, hand-made frame.
Also available with custom-cut, museum matting for standard size frames. Please allow an extra 3 business days for processing.
