Dear Hubert –
How nice to hear from you! I’m OK, thank you, and I hope that you are, too – I’ll email you. Glad that you think my collecting every last bit of frame knowledge in the world is a sane way of carrying on 🙂

Comment on Sociology and the frame, or The painting’s pimp: a dissertation for the LSE by Serge Pronin
https://theframeblog.com/2019/11/22/sociology-and-the-frame-or-the-paintings-pimp-a-dissertation-for-the-lse/comment-page-1/#comment-189638
Tue, 18 Nov 2025 18:41:58 +0000https://theframeblog.com/?p=7384#comment-189638It’s a fascinating story! It was a pleasure to read about frames and carvers, about what a frame is and how to handle it, what role we assign to it, and how it lives a life independent of our judgment. Bravo! However, I will try to share my thoughts. Moreover, I am so pleased that the language of metaphors is very close to you. So, a frame… is a plate. A plate for food. You can collect them, hang them on the wall, enjoy them, and surprise your friends… And you can use it for its intended purpose. But what dish is worthy of what plate? And what plate is worthy of what food? “That’s the question.” As your great William used to say))) Can you imagine a mountain of popcorn in exquisite painted porcelain? But even a black square can be placed in a rococo frame… And someone is constantly doing it! However, you need to have a good understanding of the kitchen… Not everyone has taste, even if they have a lot of money. Thank you!

Hi, Hollie –
I don’t know whether it’s being recorded – I imagine so, but I am hoping that I may be allowed to publish some of the papers on The Frame Blog, in English translation.

Hi Lynn,
I never did receive any link or response from Oksana, but I did see that the conference is from 9:30am Russian time, (2am here in DC). Do you happen to know if the conference will be recorded in any way? Thanks in advance!

Comment on Framed crucifixes. Part 1: conserving an Italian Calvary by Julie La
https://theframeblog.com/2025/04/20/framed-crucifixes-part-1-conserving-an-italian-calvary/comment-page-1/#comment-189633
Sat, 15 Nov 2025 17:52:42 +0000https://theframeblog.com/?p=16720#comment-189633Thank you so much for the fascinating insight into the conservation process of this remarkable altar piece” I appreciated the additional context you provided and your brief outlook on the French crucifixes with shaped frames was particularly exciting to me. I am currently researching monumental Calvary sculptures in 19th century France and would love to learn more about the 17th century objects you allude to here.
May I ask whether you already have a sense of when the follow-up article in this series might appear? And if you know of any further reading on these French examples from the late 17th century, I would be glad to follow it, but only if convenient.
Many thanks again for sharing this wonderful piece of conservation practice and for opening up such an inspiring perspective on the wider tradition. I very much look forward to reading the next instalment.

Comment on Edvard Munch: ‘They forbid me to make my own frames’ by merglennstudios

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 01:50:02 +0000https://theframeblog.com/?p=15136#comment-189627In reply to Marei.
Hi, Marei (and Lynn),
I thoroughly enjoyed this article. Interestingly, the National Museum in Oslo has numerous Munch paintings framed in carved and gilded frames, including The Scream from 1893. Do either of you know anything about the frame on that version? Marei, were you able to go to Oslo to view the Munch Museum and their copies of The Scream? What were the previous frames like before they were reframed for the new Munch Museum?
