Profile.
  The profile is looked upon as a part of the art work.
The profile is a standard Asbjorn Lonvig profile, designed by Asbjorn Lonvig and
the color of the profile is determined based on the colors in the artwork
to ensure the highest aesthetically standard.
 
 
The artwork is floating with 0.75 cm space between the
stretcher/canvas and the profile.
In the corners the profile is cut in 45 degree angles.
 
 
 Corners of the profile are assembled with a Lamello technique.
The fact that the stretcher is floating, means that the
stretcher and profile can work independently without concern about temperature, humidity etc.

of creation to the right of the name - ex. "2003" in the wet paint.
In the lower left corner is scored specimen number and edition size - ex. specimen number two of an edition of five: "2/5".
If there is only one specimen there is scored "1/1".
The scoring is done by an identifiable tool.
The signing is made visible
by using a contrasting background color.
In the upper left corner of the backside of the painting there is a blob of paint
with the artist's fingerprint of his right thumb in wet paint.

to prevent any damage of the profile.
 
 
 On the box is painted "ART" and the artist's name,
and it is supplied with all the needed shipping information
