Artist Biography
Lauren Clay (b. Atlanta, Georgia) is a New York-based artist whose work explores the intersection of painting, printmaking, and site-specific installations. She holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA in Painting from Savannah College of Art and Design. Clay's practice delves into themes of perception, transformation, and the relationship between body and space, often through intricate, layered compositions and immersive installations. Her work has been exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, with solo exhibitions at institutions such as Bosse & Baum in London, Roswell Museum in New Mexico, and Cris Worley Fine Arts in Dallas. Clay has been featured in major publications including The New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, and Hi-Fructose Magazine, among others. Notably, her editioned artist book Subtle Body is housed in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and The Brooklyn Museum of Art. Clay’s public and site-specific installations include permanent works at locations such as One New York Plaza and Walter Elwood Contemporary, with her 2024 installation The Traveler at the Hermes Flagship store in Singapore marking her latest international project. She has received prestigious awards, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2019) and a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts (2020). Clay’s upcoming solo exhibition Love Feast will be presented at Picture Theory in New York in 2024. Clay currently lives and works in New York City.

Framing
To frame this artwork please contact help@exhibitiona.com. Framed artwork is custom framed once it is ordered. Allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.
FRAME
All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.
MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.
GLAZING
We use museum quality .060 mm plexiglass to frame your work. It blocks 82-85% of UV rays to prevent color fading from exposure to light, protecting your art for years to come.

Our White and Black frames have a ⅞” wide flat face and are 15/16” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.
Our Natural and Walnut frames have a ¾” wide flat face and are 1 ⅛” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.
