Search Guide
OBJECTIVE: To make your search as easy as possible - AND SAVE YOU TIME, giving you the opportunity to narrow your search as much as possible and to target exactly what you are looking for. Use the "Filter Your Search" button in our catalog to check off one or more of the search criteria to enhance and more narrowly define your search results by targeting exactly what you are searching for.
You can search paintings by category (like abstract), and classification (like canvas works), by type (like modern/traditional), by size (small/medium/large), by frame colour, and even by keyword. You can even search our frame inventory – and Sculptures (under classification).
Picture size
Sizing is always measured Height X Width and is the outside dimension of the item, be it framed or unframed.
Unframed
Unframed pieces do appear on the website and prices refer to the artwork only. When selecting an unframed piece, you will be prompted to select a frame that fits the piece….which is optional….you may take the piece unframed if you prefer.
Note: Images that are framed and under glass such as works on paper may have the glass removed by us for your convenience for a minimal charge.
Related Pieces
Images that appear in the catalogue with an asterisk beside them indicate when something has a related piece or is part of a series. Related pieces are similar in subject matter, size, frame colour and style. When you click an item on the website accompanied by an asterisk all of their related pieces will appear.
