I recently purchased three additional pieces from travels to Europe and one piece I obtained from Nigeria. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my artwork. Awal is a good businessman. Kind, detailed and focused on helping you get the best frame a a great price for the quality. All framing is done in the shop, therefore the turnaround time is very good. My frames will be ready in under a week! I totally recommend Old City Art and Framing above any other business in the Philadelphia area.

One of my favorite stores in Philly. I always come here when I need a gift for someone because…read morethere is such unique stuff. That being said I always end up getting myself something while there. There's always something no matter your budget, I have purchased mirrors, pictures, countless scarves, tiles, and figurines. Oh their jewlery is always reasonably priced and cute. Everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful! I kind of miss the OG store because it was so cool and multiple stories. I've been supporting Eyes since at least 2014 and will for as long as I can!

Really cool stuff! Travel the world thru the art, jewelry and clothing at this unique shop!read more

And then visiting with them in their studio in the Manayunk section of Philly, they were so patient and helpful - they helped me find the perfect piece for my friend's anniversary. There's something magical about blown glass - the art itself is ancient, the work exacting, and don't even THINK about getting near that oven when the glass is melted. True artist and so helpful. LOVE this place!

I have personally visited and acquired art from this gallery…read more But, don't let the gallery name, Works on Paper, deceive you in to thinking that this venue offers only drawings and prints. The gallery also has a diverse inventory of original paintings and sculptural objects. And, there is no reason to travel to Chelsea, NY as the gallery specializes in emerging and contemporary art in a spectrum of both media and artistic styles. The space is conveniently located in the heart of Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square amid the bustle of Walnut Street, directly above American Apparel. The gallery space is large and open with natural light and a constantly changing exhibition of contemporary masters (Andy Warhol, Richard Serra, Chuck Close, Richard Diebenkorn, James Rosenquist, Jasper Johns, Sean Scully and Sol Lewitt, et al) and contemporary artists whose name and history should be more household but is more broadly museum-based (e.g., Toby Kahn). According to the the gallery owner, Works on Paper publishes, distributes and trades important Print editions and is also vested in developing the next generation of important artists ranging from abstract to street-based to post modern landscapes to architectural interiors, all in a variety of media. The gallerist, Evan Slepian, is ideally suited for his profession - he is immediately likeable, recognizably passionate, intellectually knowledgeable and connected to the American and European art community. Mr. Slepian is conversant on the subject of his art and artists without being condescending and his pricing is comparatively reasonable with fine and collectible art ranging from offerings of a few hundred dollars to a million plus. This top floor gallery is a top notch space with inventory worth exploring like any great public, private or museum collection. Keep your eyes open when visiting, it's easy to be overwhelmed and miss an exotic desktop object or small canvas casually placed as if in your private home. Highest of recommendations.

It's easy to miss it as it's on the top floor, but once you find it, you'll be happy you did. Lots of interesting artwork there, and displayed very well. Even the restrooms are adorned with some gems - including a few Shepard Fairey pieces you can't help but love.

Plus a solid selection of puzzles - very important during these quarantine days. SHOP SMALL!!!
