Just a note:
 

Actually, it is necessary to clearly define what level of focus (and the artist and the purchaser).

I do not know (no practice) on the requirements for the frames at auctions, but (based on info available to me), for example in the London Gallery Mall (where many exhibitions are a wide variety of lean. Communities) to plastic frames a sharply negative attitude to- them (plastic frame) does not accept for consideration, as do the metal, and photo frames (so-called "clip"), by the way, and with anti-reflex glass, too, do not accept ..

Because the requirement for registration at them one thing: the design must be a "museum level", we can conclude (between rows) to the plastic, "museum level" does not apply ..

And the rest, of course, the buyer dictates the terms .. But in any case, to frame the artist (exception-exclusive, which are an organic part of the job) I would not advise strongly sprayed (IMHO)

NATA NOVA, Dear, meaning to spend on a frame 10.5 thousand rubles? At the auctions Shishkin Sovkome at antique shops in the CHA had seen pictures of the cost of 500-600 rubles per ton more expensive Italian-frame (Spanish) boget plastic, under derevo.Vid for sale, a great frame .. hard to distinguish from derevyannyh.Tem more buyer often changes the frame to your liking ..
I agree 100%
And not only artists but also just for sale on the secondary art market ..

NATA NOVA, and this is another aspect that I think, I was struck by improvised copyrights frames Swiss, about which I wrote at the time.
I also like copyright clearance (frame?) From Basquiat.

Nath, alas, the design of his works for exhibitions often included in his (the artist) responsibilities.

And the price of his paintings you nravyatsya?

Eugene, yes.
As an unknown young artists, he sold his pictures, from 500 dollars, that 80's pretty good-now equivalent to somewhere in $ 1500

Seriy, your skills can be very useful in restoring the lost fragments of old frames.

But here is whether to spend time and energy to manufacture homemade (with an enormous selection of modern baguette)?

In Leroy Merlin for 1000 can be issued 50x70, but there selection is not very large.

Added after 1 minutes
And Shishkina well make out?

Stands, but only in the case of "extreme uniqueness and organicity" .. (and the work itself, of course, must be "an extremely original and unique, of course (IMHO)

artcol,, bagetina 290 cm, 50x70=100 + 140 = 240, 8 corners, 10 cm = 80 cm, for a total of one bagetinu width of 10 cm does not fit.
50 divided by 8 = 6 cm

T e prints should be 6 cm wide, that 50x70 is not enough.
THEOREM schedule is still possible, and oil ... well, I do not know ..

50h55 you can see if baguette 10 cm

Equipment in the studio a normal, working-talented restorer bagetchik Alexander, performs work, which often refuse to do in other shops.
Done in the framework of CHA, Gelos .. Gallery Shishkina master better ..
Little say when it comes to Italian baguette made of plastic (probably true to say polystyrene foam, it almost completely emulates Wooden Frames).
The average price of a baguette, which I ordered: 200-280 rubles per square meter, the biggest picture 65h83 cm, the other slightly smaller, the width of a baguette from 5 to 9 cm, has issued more than 10 paintings by the average cost of a little more than 1000 rubles.
Passepartout in watercolors, drawings (medium size): baguette price 180-200 USD per square meter, + 2 mm glass, cardboard, cardboard mat, the width of a baguette 04.06 sm.stoimost 1200-1400 rubles

Here's the approximate price, depending on the size of pictures and prices of baguette (which is another shop, but Moscow is the average price) http://help-computers.ru/plastic_frames-baget.html
