Hanging a Luis Dourdil Print Without Extra Shopping

A direct answer on whether a hanging kit ships with a Luis Dourdil print, what wall mounting actually requires, and where the honest limits of the question sit.

Auvrique Editorial · Fine Art Editions

The short answer

No. Auvrique does not currently carry Luis Dourdil editions, so there is no Dourdil hanging kit to include. For prints that are in the catalogue, wall mounting is typically handled with a simple nail or hook for framed posters and a sawtooth or wire fitting for canvas. No specialist tools are needed.

The Short Answer on Dourdil

Auvrique does not offer Luis Dourdil prints at the moment, which means there is no hanging kit tied to his name. That is the honest starting point. Asking whether a kit is included with a Dourdil print is a bit like asking what colour the seats are in a car that has not been built. The practical question underneath it, whether extra hardware is needed to hang a print, can still be answered fully.

For the framed posters that are in the catalogue, such as Flowers and Fruit in a framed poster, the frame arrives ready to hang on a standard picture hook. One hook, one nail, five minutes. Canvas editions like Breaking Waves at Daio Misaki on canvas sit flush against the wall with the fitting already attached. The reader who wants to avoid a second purchase for hardware is, in most cases, already covered.

What Wall Mounting Actually Requires

Most people overestimate this. A framed poster under roughly 60 cm on its longest side hangs safely from a single hook set at eye level, which puts the centre of the print around 145 to 150 cm from the floor. Heavier or larger pieces want two hooks and a level, or a wire across the back. Nothing here requires a trip to a specialist shop. A hardware store, or the drawer most kitchens already have, will do.

The one genuine variable is the wall itself. Plaster and drywall take a hook directly. Brick and concrete need a plug and a masonry bit, which is the only scenario where buying something extra is unavoidable. Anyone still deciding on format rather than hardware can compare the options in how to choose between canvas and framed poster. The choice affects weight, and weight affects the fixing.

For specifics on what ships in the box with a given edition, the Auvrique FAQ lists what is included per format, and it is worth checking before ordering rather than after.

Hanging checklist

Pick the wall position and mark the hook point at eye level.
Match the fixing to the wall type before drilling anything.
Use two hooks for anything wider than about 60 cm.
Check the back of the frame or canvas for the fitted hanger.

If Dourdil Is Added Later

Dourdil appears on wishlists often enough that the question keeps coming up, and the reasonable assumption is that any future edition would follow the same pattern as the rest of the range. Framed posters hang from a hook. Canvas hangs from its fitting. A separate hanging kit is not the norm, and the reader planning a wall around a Dourdil subject can plan the fixing now without waiting.

In the meantime, his subject matter is documented elsewhere, and it helps to know what kind of piece is going on the wall before deciding where the hook goes. the most common subjects in Dourdil's work covers that ground. Delivery timing for any print already in the catalogue is answered in how long shipping takes for a print. Neither changes the hardware, but both shape the plan.

The hardware is the easy part. The wall decides more than the frame does.

Wall type	Fixing needed	Extra purchase
Drywall or plaster	Single picture hook	Usually none
Brick or concrete	Wall plug and masonry bit	Sometimes
Large or heavy piece	Two hooks and a level	Rarely

Fixings by wall type

Key takeaways

Auvrique does not currently sell Luis Dourdil prints, so no Dourdil hanging kit exists.
Framed posters in the range hang from a single standard picture hook.
Canvas editions use a fitting already attached to the back.
Only brick or concrete walls are likely to require extra hardware.

Related questions

Is wall mounting included with the purchase of a print?

The hanger on the back of the frame or canvas is included. The nail or hook that goes into the wall generally is not, though a standard picture hook costs very little and most homes already have one. Check the product page for the specific edition, since inclusions can vary by format and size.

Do I need a hanging kit for a framed poster?

Almost never. A framed poster is light enough for a single hook in drywall or plaster. If the piece is unusually wide, two hooks spaced evenly keep it level and take the strain off one point. A spirit level and a pencil are more useful than any kit.

What if my wall is brick or concrete?

Masonry needs a drilled plug, which means a masonry bit and a wall plug. This is the one case where a small hardware purchase is unavoidable. Mark the hole, drill to the plug depth, and the same single-hook principle applies once the plug is in.
