Hanging Hardware Comes Standard With Every Print

A short answer for anyone mid checkout. Framed and canvas editions ship with the fittings needed to hang them, so no separate purchase is required.

The short answer

Yes. Morris Louis prints sold as framed or canvas editions include a hanging kit in the box at no extra cost. A framed poster typically ships with a wire or sawtooth hanger fitted, and canvas editions include a wall hook or mounting screw set. You do not need to buy hardware separately before the print arrives.

What arrives in the box

Every framed and canvas edition ships with its hanging hardware included. There is no add-on at checkout and no kit to order separately. A framed poster arrives with a hanger already fitted to the back, and a canvas edition includes the wall fixings matched to its weight. The cost sits inside the printed price, not on top of it.

This matters more for Louis than for most painters. His stain paintings read as pure color fields, and a print that hangs even two degrees off level breaks the effect. The included hardware is chosen per format, so a heavier canvas gets sturdier fixings than a light framed poster. Anyone comparing formats can see how the two editions differ in choosing between canvas and framed poster.

What the kit does not cover

The kit covers the print side of the equation, not your wall. Plaster, brick, and tile each need their own anchors, and a standard wall hook will not hold in every surface. If you rent, or if the wall is masonry, budget a few dollars for the right fixings at a hardware store. That is the one gap worth knowing about before the box arrives.

Weight is the other variable. A large canvas edition can weigh several kilograms, and the included fixings assume a sound wall. For anything above roughly 60 centimeters on the long edge, a second fixing point or a wall anchor is sensible. The practical alternatives, including damage free options, are covered in how to hang a print without nails.

Check before hanging

Confirm the wall type before you drill or tap a hook in
Buy masonry anchors separately if the wall is brick or concrete
Use a level, since Louis's color fields punish a tilted frame
Keep the packaging until the print is up and you are satisfied

Why sellers include the hardware

Ready to hang art prints became the norm because the old model frustrated buyers. A print would arrive, the wall would sit bare for a week, and a trip to the hardware store would follow. Including the fittings removed that step, and most sellers now treat the kit as part of the product rather than an upsell.

So the anxious checkout question has a plain answer. The kit is in the box, it costs nothing extra, and the only thing to plan for is your own wall. If delivery timing is the other worry, the wait from order to doorstep is set out in how long shipping takes. For a sense of what the finished piece looks like on canvas, Fireworks in Venice on canvas shows the format at its most saturated.

The hardware was never the expensive part. The trip to the hardware store was.

What is included by format

Key takeaways

A hanging kit is included with every framed and canvas edition at no additional cost.
No separate hardware purchase is needed for a standard drywall or plaster wall.
Brick, concrete, and tile walls need anchors bought separately, usually for a few dollars.
Larger canvases benefit from a second fixing point to keep the print level over time.

Related questions

Does the hanging kit cost extra at checkout?

No. The hardware is bundled into the listed price of the print, so there is no add-on to select and no separate line item. What you see at checkout is the full cost of the print and its fittings together.

What if my wall is brick or concrete?

The included fixings assume a standard wall. For masonry you will need wall plugs and masonry bits from a hardware store, typically under ten dollars. The hook or hanger supplied with the print still works once the right anchor is in the wall.

Can I hang a large canvas with just the included hook?

For canvases up to roughly 60 centimeters on the long edge, the included fixings are adequate on a sound wall. Larger pieces are safer with two fixing points, which spreads the weight and keeps the edges level. A spirit level takes thirty seconds and saves a redo.
