Two Masters In Profile: Salvador Dalí and Henry Heydenryk, Jr.

The House of Heydenryk is honored to have worked directly with some of the most influential artists of the 20th century. We collaborated with many of these painters and developed new designs and finishes that were created exclusively for their work. Our firm has extensive records containing each artist's choices and directions for framing their pieces. The following list represents a small portion of the many artists who have visited the House of Heydenryk showroom to frame their paintings.

* This much repeated quote was first popularized by Mr. Heydenryk in his interviews and promotional material in the 1950s. Mr. Heydenryk heard the statement from his good friend, the famed French painter Moïse Kisling, who in turn heard it from the great Degas.

Presidential Material

The House of Heydenryk has a long tradition of framing portraits, from the Renaissance period to the 20th century. In addition to providing picture frames for works by such European masters of portraiture as Rembrandt, Hals and Velázquez, we have framed portraits by American painters such as John Singer Sargent, John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, John Trumball and Benjamin West. Our picture frames have been used on the official portraits of George Washington (by Gilbert Stuart), John Adams (by Mather Brown) and Benjamin Franklin (by Robert Feke). We continue to work directly with the world's leading portrait artists and dealers, and we are privileged to have framed commissioned portraits of every president of the United States from 1933 (Franklin D. Roosevelt) to 2000 (George W. Bush). Many of these paintings can be seen in the White House and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.

Framing for Every Art Medium

The House of Heydenryk provides settings for artwork in every medium. We regularly frame the finest works on paper including drawings, engravings, watercolors, pastels, photographs and posters using the latest in conservation methods and materials. The House of Heydenryk also specializes in finding solutions for framing dimensional objects such as pre-Columbian sculpture, Native American artifacts and historical memorabilia by building shadow box frames or plexi-glass boxes.
