When the Brooklyn Museum needed to reframe one of its Monets, it turned to Bark Frameworks, the same people who framed nearly the entire Met photography collection. Prices range from $150 into the thousands, but all frames are custom-crafted and -designed, and customers like Brice Marden, Richard Serra, Nan Goldin, Richard Avedon, and Jasper Johns think they're worth it.

Sky Frame & Art

GREAT DEAL: Back in the seventies, when Robert Benrimon was a truck driver in Brooklyn, he dreamed of framing the sky. Now his store, Sky Frame & Art, commands the respect of every major SoHo and Chelsea gallery owner. But he still has a soft spot for the little guy who just wants his Spider-Man poster to look good. Prices range from $40 to $100 for a simple photograph.
