Guggenheim Helsinki Framed Print
Imagined and designed by French architect Laurent de Carnière, this limited edition print from Desplans presents a dynamic look for the proposed Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki. De Carnière's vision features a square building with square shaped rooms linked with corridors, and an open courtyard protected by low walls of stone for performances and exhibitions. Printed in Paris and Stockholm, each high-quality print uses pigment-based anti-aging ink on art paper for a high resistance to light that ensures it will stand the test of time. Prints are shipped with a black brushed aluminum frame and arrive ready to hang. Each is individually numbered and arrives with a certificate of authenticity signed by the architect.
