Got this done at Rooq in NYC. Very highly recommend them. Also included is a picture of my dumb cat who wants to be my framing assistant.

Had to take it off the wall to reduce reflections. Excited to see what others do with this one.

Thanks guys for all the kind words!

Didn't want to go too ornate with the frame itself. The piece is so complex and vibrant didn't want too big of a frame to distract from that.

And it took a few tries to get a mat on there that worked. It looks brown or green depending on the light and really lightens the white towers and the blue pool.

Its UV acrylic rather than glass due to weight and cost.

and yes the cat definitely owns it now.

Really nice! I've been unsure about using matting but I think you just sold me on it. :pint:

yeah. I wanted to cover the white border. And my framer insisted so the glass doesn't rest on the piece. Kept it simple.

I would be interested to see if anyone floats it.
