Tate Framing Project
Steve McQueen Year 3 at Tate
In 2019 we undertook on a major conservation framing collaboration with The Tate Gallery.
Artist/ Director Steve McQueen Took over the Duveen Gallery at Tate Britain to create ‘year 3’ project. A portrait of London’s year 3 pupils, in the traditional class portrait format.
3,250 Handcrafted Frames
- 3,250 Frames
- 9 Months
- 4 Team Members
- 500 Frames per Month
We excitingly won the contract and embarked on making 3,250 of handcrafted maple wax finished frames with an archival window mount.
Over the space of 9 months Archetype and a crew of 4 team members worked tirelessly with amazing attention to detail consistently. We successfully managed to deliver around 500 frames per month on schedule.
This highlights our capacity to execute a project of this scale.
