Where can I get my paintings framed (at low cost) ?

[shuchita]

I have some artwork that I'd like to get framed (around 50 pieces) so I asked around a few places but most of the quotes were quite costly.

(for 80cm x 55cm)
Golden Dragon (Chinatown) - S$50-70
Spotlight (Plaza Singapura) - S$60-80

so far Ikea seems the cheapest at S$29.

Any other places ?

Thanks

Buy cheapo frames at IKEA and plop the works in yourself? The problem is that non-professional framing jobs don't last very long in this heat and humidity...

What is the value of the artwork? Not only will cheap frames not last long, but they will also detract from the art itself - assuming they are any good of course.

I don't know if this is an option for you but see if you can get any references in Malaysia, drive there, frame and bring back? I do that most of the time. Otherwise here I use Caine's Framers, esp. for bulk he is reasonable.
