Why does picture framing, in some instances, cost more than the art?

The cost of your art in no way relates to the cost of the materials and labor involved in framing the art. Many posters are 24x36 and cost about $20.00 to $30.00. Because of the large size the poster will require more framing materials than a smaller piece. This, along with the cost of labor to prepare the materials and assemble them into a finished framing, will dictate the cost involved. Thus, the cost to frame this large inexpensive poster may exceed the cost to frame a smaller more expensive work of art. There are also a variety of mouldings, matboards and glass that have a wide range of price points. We will be happy to give you an estimate and work with you to achieve the look that you desire and stay within your budget constraints.  more
