What Comes in the Box With a Valadon Print

A direct answer on hanging hardware, what each edition format includes, and where you may still need to buy one small thing yourself.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

Yes. Suzanne Valadon prints from Auvrique arrive with a hanging kit included at no extra cost, for both framed posters and canvas editions. The kit covers standard wall mounting on drywall or plaster. Very large formats or masonry walls may need an anchor or hook bought separately.

What the hanging kit includes

Every Suzanne Valadon edition ships with a hanging kit in the box. There is no separate purchase and no add-on at checkout. The kit is sized to the format you ordered, so a framed poster and a canvas edition are not weighted the same and are not supplied with identical hardware. The pieces are packed with the print itself, not in a separate parcel.

The practical point is that you can go from delivery to wall in one session without a trip to a hardware shop. That is the whole purpose of the kit. If your wall is unusual, such as brick, tile or a very old plaster that resists ordinary fixings, the included hardware may not be enough. In that case one anchor from any hardware store solves it. For format differences before you order, see how to choose between canvas and framed poster in the canvas versus framed poster guide.

Ready to hang or one step short

Both Valadon formats are ready-to-hang options in the sense that nothing needs assembling beyond fixing hardware to the wall. The framed poster arrives framed, glazed and fitted with its hanging points already in place. The canvas edition arrives stretched and fitted for wall mounting. Neither requires you to build, stretch or frame anything yourself.

The honest caveat is weight. A large framed poster is heavier than a canvas of the same size, and the included kit is matched to the standard use case. If you are hanging at the top of the size range, use a wall plug or stud fixing rather than relying on the hook alone. Sizing guidance for larger walls is covered in the piece on fitting a 120x150 cm wall for a 120x150 cm wall.

Before you hang

Check the wall type before you start, since masonry needs different fixings
Use a spirit level, because a crooked frame is the most common regret
For the largest framed formats, fix into a stud or use a wall plug
Keep the packaging until the print is up, in case of transit damage

Why the kit matters for Valadon specifically

Valadon's drawings and paintings translate into prints with strong tonal contrast, and any of her figure studies reads badly if it hangs even slightly off level. The eye catches a tilted line across a body faster than across a landscape. This is a practical reason to hang carefully, not an artistic one.

Her work also suits small groupings. A pair of editions hung as a diptych, such as a portrait beside a still life, needs consistent spacing, and the kit gives you a common starting point for both. The portrait and the floral still life are the two Valadon subjects most often paired this way see the framed portrait edition see the floral still life canvas.

A hanging kit saves a shopping trip. It does not save you from an unlevel wall.

Masonry, tile and very large formats may need one extra anchor bought separately.
Both formats arrive ready to hang with no assembly required.

Related questions

Do I need to buy anything extra to hang a Valadon canvas?

For a standard drywall or plaster wall, no. The included kit covers it. For brick, concrete or a very large canvas, buy a wall plug or anchor suited to the surface. One item, any hardware store, a few minutes of work.

Is the framed poster heavier to hang than the canvas?

Generally yes. The frame and glazing add weight, particularly in larger sizes. The kit supplied with the framed poster is matched to that weight, but for the biggest formats a stud fixing or wall plug is the safer choice.

Can I hang a Valadon print without drilling?

Possibly, depending on the size and your wall. Adhesive hooks work for small formats on smooth surfaces but are not reliable for larger framed pieces. If you rent and cannot drill, choose the canvas format and check its weight before relying on adhesive fixings.
