Yes, Asgrimur Jonsson Prints Arrive Ready to Hang

The short answer is yes, but what ready to hang actually means varies by format. Here is what arrives at the door, what does not, and the ten minutes of work left for you.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Yes. Asgrimur Jonsson prints from Auvrique ship ready to hang. Framed posters arrive with a hanging kit and fitted hardware, and canvas editions come stretched over a wooden bar with a wall hook included. Most pieces go up in under ten minutes with a single hook and no drilling beyond one mark.

What ready to hang actually means

The phrase gets used loosely, so it is worth being precise. A ready to hang print needs no framing, no glass cutting, no stretcher bars and no trip to a framer. It arrives finished. You take it out of the box, decide where it goes, and put it on the wall. That is the whole job.

For framed poster editions, the frame is assembled before shipping and the hanging hardware is fitted to the back. For canvas editions, the print is stretched over an internal wooden bar, so the piece holds its shape on its own. If you are weighing the two formats against each other, the practical differences are laid out in the canvas and framed poster comparison how to choose between canvas and framed poster.

The hanging kit does the work for you

The pain point with online art is rarely the print. It is the awkward hour afterward, hunting for a screw, holding a level with one hand and a pencil with the other. The hanging kit exists to cut that hour down to minutes. Each kit includes the hook or hooks matched to the weight of the piece, so there is no guesswork about what will hold it.

The routine is simple. Mark the spot, fix the hook, hang the print, check it with a level. Canvas pieces sit close to the wall because of the internal bar, which keeps the display flat and stable. Framed posters hang from the fitted hardware without extra brackets. For placement ideas, the guide to sizing a canvas to your wall which size canvas fits my wall covers the measuring before the hanging.

One honest caveat. Very large canvases still benefit from a second pair of hands, not because the kit is inadequate but because a wide piece is awkward to align alone. Nothing about the hardware changes that.

What the kit includes

Hooks matched to the weight of the piece
Fitted hardware on the back of framed posters
A stretched wooden bar on every canvas edition
No extra tools required beyond a hammer or drill

A few minutes of setup, honestly stated

Ready to hang does not mean zero effort, and it is better to say so. You still choose the spot, and that choice matters more than the hardware. A piece hung at eye level, roughly 145 centimetres from floor to centre, reads better than the same piece hung high, whatever it cost.

It is also worth thinking about the room before the hammer comes out. Jonsson's landscapes carry a lot of cool tone, and a dim hallway will flatten them. The note on framed posters in a hallway framed posters in a hallway covers how they hold up in busier spaces. Once the hook is in, a no-hassle art display is exactly what you get, and the ten minutes you spend are the only ten minutes the piece will ever ask of you.

The hardware is the easy part. Where you put it is the decision that lasts.

Related questions

Do I need to buy a frame separately?

No. Framed poster editions arrive already framed with the glazing and backing fitted, and canvas editions are stretched over an internal bar. Neither format requires a separate frame purchase or a visit to a framer before hanging.

What tools do I need to hang a canvas?

A hammer or a drill, depending on your wall, and nothing else. The hook is supplied and matched to the weight of the piece. A spirit level helps but is optional, since the eye is usually honest enough about a single landscape.

Can I hang a print on a plaster wall?

Yes, with the right fixing for the wall type. The supplied hook suits standard walls, but older plaster may need an anchor rated for the weight. Check the weight listed on the product page before drilling, and use a wall anchor if in any doubt.
