Randolph Laub was brought up in Los Angeles during what has been called the Golden Age — the years following World War II. That era contributed to Laub’s then-developing sense of design. As a young man, he was drawn to the aesthetic of the Arts & Crafts movement. His immense appreciation of the photography of Edward Weston and Irving Penn had a major affect on his perception of light and perspective.

In 1971, Laub opened a photography gallery — Ohio Silver — and began to make frames for exhibitions in the gallery. During the next fifty years he has made frames (and furniture) for artists, photographers, galleries, museums, collectors, and private clients in the United States and Europe. Laub’s love and understanding of the medium of wood — and his attention to detail — established him as one of the foremost framers of art in the United States.

The framing studio now resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With a collection of new machinery and many devoted clients, Laub is fashioning frames which reflect the collective experience of fifty years. Please take a few moments to view the many examples under the FRAMES menu.
