Goldfeder/Kahan Framing Group commits to the tradition of superior craftsmanship enhanced by innovative modern technology. It is our mission to continuously redefine industry standards of excellence. As a thriving small business in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, GK clients live just around the corner from us and potentially in every corner of the world.  The facilities have high security art storage rooms and are monitored using motion sensors and 24-hour video surveillance. A client returns to GK with the knowledge, trust, and confidence that their art will be framed in the finest, safest art-handling environment available.

We assist clients in their efforts to act as caretakers and custodians of their artwork.  GK staff invests the time to educate new clients about conservation framing and why the GK product is superior to that from any other framer, especially those who claim to be “museum quality” without further details. GK clients quickly learn to view their art collection as a long-term investment to enjoy for generations to come.

Each step of the framing process is on view through expansive windows into the production studio.  Most framers use standard sized frames, mediocre materials and haphazard assembly in order to quickly deliver a substandard product at the expense of long-term preservation.  Unlike gallery framing which is designed for short-term exhibition demands and is often comprised of inferior materials, GK frames artwork in order to extend the life of your art as long as possible.

The GK Framing team is comprised of highly unique individuals who are perfectionists in their area of expertise. Taking cue from the innovations of Kahan and Goldfeder that have revolutionized the framing process, staff members thrive in a work environment that encourages the open exchange of creative ideas to continuously improve workflow and the finished product.  Whether it be client care and project planning, taking exacting measurements to ensure a perfect fit, working closely with frame vendors to match finishes and execute ACAD frame renderings, cooking and straining fresh wheat starch paste on the premises for proper mounting, or examining the final product for minute blemishes and flaws; every detail of your order is overseen with the utmost attention and professionalism.  Most staff members have advanced degrees and special training in their area of expertise or apprentice with more experienced staff on-site.
