In Reply to: canvas paintings posted by hally on Saturday, 11. June 2005 at 18:43 Bali Time:
When I bought a painting on canvas I had it taken off the frame and rolled, and just paid for it to be re-stretched onto a frame back home. It cost the same as the painting cost me in the first place, a big 1metre by 1 metre painting..about $132 NZ. No trouble getting it through customs.
NB: The guy here who reframed it said the shop in Bali should not have rolled it up with the painted surface to the outside of the roll as this had stretched the paint surface and I have tiny hairline fractures around the edges, not visible from a distance fortunately.
