Art Print Appreciation

Wiser_not asked:


I have my eye on a few Jasper Johns pieces. My intention is to frame the print/poster that I buy and hang it in my library for a handsom and professional look (no I am not attempting to make it look real by any means). There are several sites, such as art.com, that sell his work in a poster form but my fear is that the art will look too college dorm room and cheesy and not respectable enough (even when frammed). If anyone out there has bought, frammed, and been pleased with the way posters look on the wall, let me know. I would be interested to hear any negatives that apply as well. Would a smaller print look better than larger (considering that it is a poster, possibly on glossy paper)? Much thanks.

I bought a poster of Van Gogh - Starry Night 2 from Art.com for $2.00. Id like to now bring it to a picture shop and have it framed. It would be sooo much cheaper than buying the picture and the quality is good. Do people ever do this?
The picture itself would cost at least 400 probably if I bought it at a store.
