Wholesale Matting

What is a good size for a print to be displayed in an art show?

My husband and I are having a debate. He's a digital artist who's going to be displaying his art for the first time at an art show this summer. Because all of his art is digital, it can be printed at any size. We are on a limited budget to set up a good display for him. He wants to get some giclee prints made on canvas. He says he'd rather have 2 or 3 big (2ft x 3ft) pieces to hang as eye grabbers. I think he'd be better off with more (5 or 6) pieces at a smaller size (16in x 20 in) to show quantity of pieces available. He is also going to have smaller 11in x 17 in prints matted for sale. Which is better? Fewer large canvas prints, or more smaller canvas prints? My husband and I are having a debate.

  1. WITH 40 YEARS EXHIBIT EXPERIENCE I'D HAVE TO GO WITH THE SHOW STOPPERS , EVEN IF YOU CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE . REMEMBER YOUR MAKING CONNECTIONS & ONE GREAT EXAMPLE IS BETTER THAN TRYING TO GIVE THE PUBLIC TOO MANY DIFFERENT PIECES TO LOOK AT . I PREFER MINIMALISN IN AN EXHIBIT , ON A WALL THAT COULD PERHAPS TAKE 5 PIECES OF MY WORK I GO WITH THREE . TOO MANY ARTISTS CLUTTER THE WALL & ONLY CONFUSES THE VIEWER . GOOGLE MY WEBSITE FOR EXAMPLES OF MY WORK IN AN INTERIOR DECORATORS HOME OFFICE . I DID THE ART & THE DISPLAY . POPCLT.COM & IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ADVICE NEEDS YOUR WELCOME TO WRITE ME AT POPCLT@YAHOO.COM GOOD LUCK ! TP. MULLIN
