Print of Highpoint

The Product: Print of Highpoint

A fine art print of Highpoint apartment blocks in London’s suburb of Highgate might seem like uninspiring subject matter, but this gleaming white, Grade 1 Listed structure is considered one of the world’s finest examples of modern architecture. Lauded by Corbusier as a ‘beautiful building’ and ‘an achievement of the first rank,’ Highpoint remains one of London’s most iconic buildings. Built on London’s highest point in the 1930s, the world-class housing block was designed by Berthold Lubetkin and Ove Arup.

The Lowdown

A signed Giclée, this line-drawn, wall-art print of London’s iconic Highpoint is presented on the highest quality, acid-free, lightfast, archival, 300gsm, Minuet Cotton Rag. The heavyweight etching board is velvety smooth with a fine surface texture and is one of the most widely used media, worldwide, for artwork and photography. Using pigment-based UltraChrome and Ultra Violet (UV) inks, the Giclée printing process ensures superior detail, colours and longevity. The print comes unframed and is delivered in a cardboard tube for you to take straight to your local framer.

Styling Ideas?

Need framing advice? We’d suggest a slim, white frame with subtly visible woodgrain and a white card mount, if you wish the frame to disappear – say, against a white wall – and the print to stand out. Equally as effective is the same style of frame in black – as here – also teamed with a white card mount, to outline the drawing and act like bold, precise punctuation! The third option would be to go for a softer, warmer effect with a natural or stained wooden mount. All three will work beautifully, depending on the backdrop, and the look you want to achieve. It’s worth knowing that artworks such as these will often leap out, to striking effect, from a dark-hued wall.
