There are great benefits to framing your artworks, both visually and archivally. The protection and support a frame offers your artwork means an extended lifespan, while it adds to the overall presentation of your work. A frame prevents harmful environmental conditions, such as light, moisture, heat and insects from damaging your artwork. After all, why invest your valuable time and creative effort into your work if it is not to be properly protected? From an artistic point of view, whether you are working on one piece or in a series, the addition of a frame can help pull your work together by giving it that added finishing touch. If you have ever compared the same art work in different types of frames and mat choices, you have seen that framing can have a significant impact on your overall presentation.

With these two factors in mind—aesthetics and conservation—we understand that our customers are also looking for a framing process that is easy to use. This was why Opus' founder, David van Berckel, created the Opus Metal Exhibition Frame, almost thirty years ago. With a history in framing, David identified the need for a framing product which would provide a simple solution to the unique needs of practicing artists. The result was this Opus design. This particular frame is special to David because it was Opus' very first ready-made frame and kicked off Opus' line of other convenient ready-made framing options.

Whether you are a professional or an amateur artist, the Opus Metal Exhibition Frame is a popular choice which continues to remain a practical and visually appealing option to this day. This frame has a unique back-loading system which is quick and easy and allows you
to change your images in minutes, with no
tools required.

The functional design of this frame is also ideal for schools and galleries who require frames which are reusable. This means different works of art can easily be displayed and rotated regularly, to display work with minimal effort or time spent. By reusing your frames, you keep your framing inventory to a minimum and reduce your valuable storage space. Most importantly, you don't exceed your framing budget. Elegance and economy in one frame!
