What percentage of your OA is displayed? 0

[Blastaar]

I would say a good 40% is hanging on a wall. What say you?

[Brian Peck]

About 6-7% is framed.

i like holding the pages. Smelling the paper and ink. 

[Drewsky]

20%. I rotate them in and out every few months. These make displaying art easy.

that's like raw books (as opposed to slabs for me)...smell the pages 

All my OA is displayed, but not framed on walls.

Maybe I'm dumb and there is an obvious answer, but how is your OA displayed?

[Unstoppablejayd]

about 10% is framed and on display-

It isn’t dumb. In my case, I have one framed piece on a wall, that was framed about 30 years ago. The others are in Mylar sleeves I place on furniture. Every once in a while, I rotate them in and out of folios.

no dummies here! I just have in Mylar for now against the wall, but I will likely be using @GreatEscape's method of core boards, matting, and mylar bags in due time

I use our upright piano as a display easel for things for sale or display.  Here I show a sample picture from 2019.  The stuff is likely long gone.

It's an example of furniture display. Click to enlarge.

I just did the calculation: 23%. But I have to say I started with framing a lot but now I appreciate more and more perusing my collection in portfolios. I pay a lot of attention to the chronological order so going through those is truly a trip down memory lane 

[Captain Canuck]

Currently 1%, but I was thinking of scanning all of my art and create a coffee table book. Maybe through one of those photo book companies, if allowed, so I can always look at my work, but not worry about framing issues, UV light and the issue with space.

I’d say less than 10% but not for lack of funds or art.  I have very little wall space available.  I have to cherry pick the best pieces of art and what makes it so hard is that I acquire better and better pieces every so often.  It’s a conundrum!

I never hear of this as an option,
link or more information please...

 

[cloud cloddie]

I only have 1 piece framed. I’m back and forth between 2 cities a lot, so I always bring the art with me.

Ordering a book through Shutterfly or Mixbook. You can choose the paper, size, cover and so on. Like making your own IDW Artists Edition, but with your own art.
