How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
Experience the Intensity of Schiele’s Cityscape
This striking poster features Egon Schiele’s celebrated 1915 oil painting, “Krumau – Crescent of Houses (The Small City V)” (also known as “Krumau Hauserbogen”). Schiele, a pivotal figure in Austrian Expressionism, captures the medieval Bohemian city of Český Krumlov (Krumau), where he briefly lived. Unlike traditional picturesque city views, Schiele presents a deeply psychological landscape that reflects his intense, often fragmented vision of the world.
Expressionism Defined
The artwork is defined by its dramatic, angular composition and highly compressed perspective. The houses, rendered in stark ochre, brown, and deep reddish tones, appear to crowd and lean into one another, conveying a sense of suffocating intimacy and urban density. The use of dark outlines and stark color blocks exaggerates the form of the architecture, a signature technique of Expressionism. The dark, ominous sky contrasts sharply with the fragmented structures, creating a powerful emotional resonance that is characteristic of Schiele’s later work. Notice the small details, such as the laundry hanging on the far left, grounding the emotional intensity in everyday life.
A Masterpiece for Modern Decor
Ideal for collectors of early 20th-century art or anyone seeking a sophisticated, challenging piece of decor, this museum-quality print serves as a compelling focal point in a living room, study, or gallery wall. Honor the legacy of Egon Schiele and Austrian Modernism with this essential piece of Expressionist art history.
