AUTHENTICATED
The Guy Bourdin Estate carefully controls the legacy of the late artist to ensure his images are never counterfeited and are produced to the same exacting standards he upheld in his lifetime.
In order to protect this valuable new addition to your collection, we have secured a tamper proof decal on the back of the frame. This decal features a unique identification number confirming your AP8 limited edition photograph has been authorised by the Guy Bourdin Estate. Please be sure to register your artwork to secure its provenance.
HANDCRAFTED FRAMES
Your Guy Bourdin photograph comes framed to international gallery standards. Meticulously handcrafted in Italian chestnut wood, the frame is then coated in white gesso paint and mounted behind the highest quality Japanese Shinkolite acrylic for archival protection and clarity without susceptibility to shattering.
A passepartout card is placed between the photograph and the acrylic to achieve the same museum quality presentation of these rare works you will find exhibited in the best museums in the world from the Tate Modern in London to the The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
