Custom finished frames for Jasper Johns @ MCASD

This week has been a crazy one for multi-tasking @ The Frame Maker when it came to really custom picture frame design for some of San Diego’s museums and designers– with pretty positive results.

First up, are the 13 custom finish maple frames we made for the upcoming Jasper Johns: Light Bulb show @ MCASD La Jolla.

The color, a soft, warm grey, is inspired by a custom finish created at the National Gallery of Art for an exhibition of the same series of prints, 1st Etchings, 2nd State, that we are preparing for MCASD’s Light Bulb show.
