Thanks for the feedback regarding framing and displaying. I absolutely understand why someone would choose to make a high resolutions copy to display or why someone would not be comfortable having them displayed due to security, fading or damage risks. The arguments make perfectly good sense and I applaud anyone’s choices in light of those concerns. For me personally, I wouldn’t be buying/collecting these items if I wasn’t regularly seeing and enjoying the original items. I’m not saying it‘s the right way or even the best way but it’s what makes me happy. I know that it will never be as safe as storing it away in a light tight fire proof safe but I try to do the next best thing while still displaying them. I use a skilled archival framer, using UV Museum glass, they are not always displayed but when they are I display them in a relatively low light area, and I have multiple layers of security. If something tragic did happen (heaven forbid), everything is insured.

That’s good to hear Marc,I have a lot of items in a jewelry safe but I also have at least 70%of my pieces framed in museum glass and hanging on walls.i feel the same I want to appreciate the original .the house has many security features and everything is insured .making copies and framing them never has been a thought.

Too perfect for my taste... just kidding of course though perfection in both signature and placement is not my own no. 1 priority. For some strange reason I quite like "rushed" examples. Contrast and lack of fading is, on the other hand, certainly very important to me.

I agree 100% about enjoying the original. I couldn't get a "tingle down the spine" feeling getting close to a photocopy on the wall.

One thing I would say is that red is notorious for fading. It is probably the most sensitive colour of the lot. With that in mind I would be really careful where you hang this piece and for how long at a time.
