The picture of the month has its own place on the shelf of the Contemporary Library. The width of the shelf is 107 cm, which should be taken into account in the size of the photograph. We prefer framed or primed photos and high-quality prints. Please take care of the framing of the work yourself, as unfortunately we are unable to provide frames on behalf of the gallery.
