ARTS HUB UK —Down a crumbly driveway, behind the drab tube station at Finsbury Park lurks a rather bland and industrial looking brick warehouse: one that you’d never guess houses some of the most celebrated characters in Britain’s art scene, and some of the most expensive art in the world.
John Jones is a framing company, but it’s certainly not your average local shop front framer. Its clients include galleries like the Tate and National Portrait Gallery, photographers like Mario Testino, designers like Ralph Lauren, the art collections of big banks like Barclays, DB and HSBC, and the esteemed Sainsbury’s collection. And with a range of work that goes extends to Kofi Anan’s letter to Bono for MTV and David Beckham’s football memorabilia, John Jones is at the top of the framing game.
