NEW YORK, NY.- The master framers of Eli Wilner & Company recently completed three monumental frames for Sotheby’s New York being presented at Rudolf Bauer: Tomorrow Today, a selling retrospective exhibition featuring masterworks spanning the artist's career. Eli Wilner & Company replicated an original frame from Solomon R. Guggenheim’s Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which had remained in the estate of Hilla Rebay, for three of the most prominent works in the exhibition.

The existing frames on the select paintings were not original to Bauer’s work, leading the specialists at Sotheby’s to seek a solution from Eli Wilner & Company. While searching through historical exhibition images, photos of Bauer’s paintings in the original frames were uncovered. Similar to his paintings, Rudolf Bauer’s frames are boldly modern and feature a silver-gilded surface and highly nuanced rounded profile. Each frame measures nearly 12 inches in width.

Sotheby’s trusted the Wilner team to use traditional methods in creating authentic replica frames, working from an original Bauer frame and photographs. Rudolf Bauer: Tomorrow Today opened on September 22 and runs until October 10, 2014.
