The Fine Art of Office Posters
Fine art is a remarkable addition to any space, but sometimes circumstances do not permit acquiring entirely original works and we are called upon to supplement with alternatives. And yet in other scenarios, we are asked to cover spaces so large in scale, the main objective is to artfully execute a project within a certain budget. For instances such as these, prints and posters can be a perfect solution for our clients.

Many artists create work through printmaking. A diverse art form with many methods of production, prints can be highly technical and time-consuming to produce (which translates to a high price point) or can be mass produced at low costs. Even when fine art prints are produced en mass at approachable prices, they are considered limited editions.
On the other hand, a poster is defined by being a low-cost print that can be produced in an unlimited quantity. This is called an ‘open edition’, which significantly lowers the buyer’s cost.
Poster Chic
As art consultants, we always encourage clients to acquire original artworks when possible as this helps to directly nourish the artistic community, but when posters are called into the equation we treat them with a similar approach. We start by sourcing locally, looking for artists, independent vendors, and small businesses that have proprietary pieces they sell of this nature. We fill out these options with contemporary and unique looking posters from alternative vendors to show our clients. The result is a finely curated visual experience for our client that is artfully and tastefully executed.

We pride our poster projects on looking fresh and intentional. It isn't just about canvasing a space with imagery, but rather making thoughtful decisions about a client's desired visual end result. We take into account brand identity, design themes, and architectural features when selecting works. Color schemes and frame selections complement furniture and finishes in the finished project. The right posters can truly uplift a space and provide long-lasting enjoyment when mindfully done.
Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me
Often prints and posters come with a much lower price tag than originals, but that doesn't mean you can't treat them with the same respect. Prints and posters are still visual representations that help office environments feel more comfortable and inviting-- keeping them cared for will enhance the experience for longer. Similar to any artwork, they are susceptible to damage from UV rays so keeping pieces away from natural light is ideal. Our pieces are specially framed with glazing that helps protect against the sun. Depending on budget, there are degrees of protection, similar to sunscreen.
A Clean Getaway
This glazing is not compatible with ammonia-based cleaners, and therefore we provide our clients with a comprehensive professional cleaning before we leave any job and handoff crystal clear instructions for caring for the pieces moving forward. Our corporate art advisory is always ready in the wings to do just that--advise--if you should have any questions about your artwork down the road. Whether artful posters serve as a companion to an existing fine art collection or provide the solution for a perfectly executed back of house office space, we always have you covered.
