Really great experience. They rewired three of my pictures and did a fantastic job. The work was done carefully and turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend them, and I'll definitely be back for any framing needs in the future. read more

I highly recommend the OJ Gallery for any framing work! Max did an amazing job stretching our canvas painting and was so kind and helpful throughout the entire process. I called around to five or six different shops and the price quoted here was the most reasonable by far... and they didn't even ask for a Yelp review in exchange for a discount, which some places actually do. read more

Max came highly recommended to me from fellow moms on the UES and I now know why. I needed something framed for my daughter nursery immediately and he was able to make it happened! Most recently, I needed a picture framed for my husband's birthday and he was able to make it happened within two days! In addition, he was able to print (at the very last minute) the picture for the frame. Max also does all the artwork for my husband's business and my husband always gets compliments. He is not only efficient but very reliable, reasonably priced, and extremely personable. He delivers only the BEST! If you are looking for quality and beautiful framework I would 10/10 recommend! read more

Really great and friendly experience. This place is able to work with all budgets to find the right solution for you.

Max the store owner is a honest, amazing person go do business with. He does an amazing job and offers great customer service every step of the way. Thank you for always helping us with our framing needs! read more

They were very efficient, great job and quick. They also deliver within NYC which was a great help.

Needed to get our wedding ketubah framed and found the OJ Gallery on Yelp with great reviews. Max, the owner, greeted us so warmly, wishing us congratulations on our wedding and gave us excellent suggestions for how to frame the ketubah, as we are so inexperienced with having things framed. Max gave us a very fair price and offered free delivery. Our ketubah was delivered today (we dropped it off 3 days ago) and it looks absolutely beautiful. Cannot recommend Max and the OJ Gallery enough! read more

I found Max on Yelp and he lived up to the great reviews. Prices were very fair and he delivered as promised. He also gives great input and is just a really nice guy that I enjoyed doing business with. Highly recommend read more

MAX is AMAZING!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MAX is originally from Kauai Hawaii & he moved to NY at an early age. He obviously has done well for himself, but only because he is unlike the majority of NYers. I grew up in NYC & then moved to Hawaii, & then on to California....kind of like the opposite of MAX. MAX is amazing warmly, knowledgable, & friendly... even to total strangers like my brother & I. Since I had an ERTE (Serigraph- "Opium") sitting at my families house in Brooklyn for about 25 years or so & wanted to get it packed & shipped to California at my next visit... I Yelped, called a few places, & finally discovered MAX! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My brother, who lives way over in Sheepshead Bay, at first complained that Oj was too far away....but I insisted that from what I could tell, MAX was the real deal. Other places gave me all kinds of BS, and gave me huge estimates, or refused to over the phone....the usual scummy NYer behavior.... NOT with MAX. Anyway....we finally made it threw the snow to their lovely compact Gallery (whose rent approaches $30k/month...no wonder almost no one can start a new business in Manhattan!!!). I first walk in with my ERTE & one of his kind staff promptly takes it off my hands. While I am "Talking Story" (Hawaii Pidgin) with MAX, my brother who looks like a NYC Sanitation worker (complete with his former work jacket from his city job), who just got off work, also comes in & starts yacking to MAX's cohort. Despite our totally opposite appearances & manners, they all treated us with the same kindness & respect. WOW, pinch me, this cannot be NY! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyway, NOT only does MAX, go to the MAX with helping ship my "treasure" in safety & style....& at a very reasonable cost...but he also gives me plenty of wise advise concerning the possible future care & value of this piece...along with my limited edition Obama HOPE (signed & numbered) print that I still had rolled up at home. It seems that the HOPE print has increased in value & will continue to do so...as probably will the Erte. Nice to know. The last thing on my mind was my brother..... but it turned out that he bought not one, but two pieces of baseball oriented art. The Sales guy gave him a steal of a deal for one of those 3-D pieces at around $3k. Somehow we all had a great time in MAX's Gallery!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THANKS MAX !!! I RECOMMEND THIS GUY TO THE MAX (PUN INTENDED) !!! read more

I have taken a number of historical pieces to get framed there and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is always front and center. Max is a gem of a guy who knows his stuff. Will never go anywhere else. read more

I should have written this a long time ago (probably 2 years ago). My experience with Max at OJ Art gets better and better. I had him frame almost everything in our office. The only things he did not frame were the previous pieces of artwork that we had prior to moving to the new office. Max frames pretty much everything for us, from personal effects to bigger pieces. He always ALWAYS does an amazing job, and if something is not right, he fixes it. You can go to other framers, sure. Some will be cheaper, some will be more expensive, but with Max, you always get the best at a great price. read more

Note: they recently moved to 249 57th street Highly recommended :) I am very happy with the framing work that I asked, for a poster I bought. He recommended the frame color and turned out beautifully. Very reasonable pricing too :) read more

I don't write many reviews at all. But after being a customer for a while and routinely being impressed, Oj Art Gallery has earned this review. I have had over 10 pieces (paintings, concert posters, etc.) framed at this place over the last few years. Max has always been amazing to work with. Him and his team have a great sense of how to enhance the piece without taking the attention away from it. They have used several different techniques/materials (mounting, matting, frames, etc.) to make each one of my pieces look unique and stand on their own. Their work is outstanding, his prices are great and the service could not be any better. I'm not gonna lie, once in a while I get the urge to try another place and see what they have to offer in terms of their vision and to also check pricing. Every single time I have gone back to Max. Their work is outstanding, his prices are great and the service could not be any better. You will not be disappointed! read more

I brought an unframed canvas oil painting to be wrapped. They did a terrific job, and at a very reasonable price (and I had done some comparative shopping to get a sense of rates given the size of the canvas). They could not have been nicer or more helpful...even offered to deliver it for free. I will definitely be back! read more

This is an overdue, but very necessary review. I brought a special piece of art, a water painting on a stretched canvas, for Max to frame. Not only did he very precisely and professionally pick out the right frame, but did a beautiful job, at a reasonable and fair price, and delivered and hung it too! He was able to translate the image my decorator had and execute perfectly! AND he is an absolute pleasure to work with...so much so that I am having him frame another very large piece now! read more

I recently moved to the area and visited a few different art galleries and frame shops to see who could best accommodate my tasks. I selected the OJ Gallery and I am so glad that I did. Max K is the man! I came in to the shop with multiple ideas, but ended up making tweaks based on Max's recommendations. He took the time to walk me through the many options that I had, without pushing me on spending more money. All of my frame jobs came out TERRIFIC, on time, reasonably priced, and with tremendous customer service. Plain and simple, I am a VERY happy customer! read more

The best framing experience I've ever had! Max had great ideas on the frames, knew exactly what we were looking for, and quoted us a very affordable price. Everything came out beautifully and exactly as promised. My colleague and I originally went here to have artwork framed for our workplace but we both agreed that we would happily return to have our own items framed for our homes. Highly recommended. read more

Max is not only knowledgeable but friendly which is a rarity in NYC. He extremely collaborative in the process and will guide you or listen to what you want. In my case, I knew what I wanted and he agreed. The outcome was absolutely incredible. He and is staff, a family business for the most part, operate with grace, gratitude and high customer service (another NYC rarity). Thank you Max and staff for my art work. It is stunning and your prices were reasonable. read more

This was my first framing experience, and Max made it a great one! He offered honest advice and suggestions on how to best frame my art, and gave me a first time customer discount. I will be returning! read more

Max at OJ and his staff are well equipped and versed in framing and art itself. A versatile artist, Max "GETS" the work and frames it accordingly. I buy and sell art as well as paint myself, so a gallery like OJ is invaluable to me - to always get the right frame, mat and presentation for personal use as well as sales. You know they are good because they are always busy. Must be doing something right. Remember - "You can fool all the people some of the time but you can't frame them. That would be a crime. " - Abe Lincoln's framer. read more

I'm a professional photographer, and I recently had a great first experience getting a large print mounted and framed by Max and the staff at OJ. All I can say is that the frame looks great, the mounting is flawless, and the price was several hundred dollars less than other competitors. The turnaround time was about a week (competitors told me 4 weeks). I was able to personally meet the guy who built the frame, and opening up the print in the store to check out the job was no problem. Very professional, very fast, and excellent price. Will be going back. read more

I've had a few pieces of art framed here, and Max was always extremely professional and very helpful. His staff also came to my apartment to hang the pieces and did a wonderful job with that too. Max goes above and beyond to make sure that every customer is satisfied. I HIGHLY recommend OJ Art Gallery. I wish every business would operate the way he does!!! read more

The OJ Art Gallery does beautiful craftsmanship with incredible service. Max has been so helpful for my family and I helping us to design frames for our artwork that will be part of our family for a lifetime and generations to come. read more

I had great first experience here getting two large (20x30") photos matted and framed. Their prices were more than reasonable, the work was top notch and done on time.. Because I live not too far away they even offered to drop them off with my doorman. Good stuff. I'll be back again next time I need something framed. read more

The most important thing for me in regard to my framer is - Preservation (The art should be framed in a manner that preserves the condition of the work. -Deisgn - No dated designs, I want to look like it can hang in a museum, yet not be heavy or ostentatious -Price, I am not looking for the cheapest guy, but I want value for my money. Max at OJ art has framed some very high end pieces for me, things valued well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, he has also framed works of art that are valued in thousands of dollars. A framer must first and foremost protect the integrity of art. Max only uses Archival framing, which preserves the condition of the works, In addition he had a good eye for design and frames art with an eye for understated elegance. His frame designs are not dated, which is what you get at the chains. His designs incorporate timeless styles. His prices are fair considering he uses the best materials available. If you love your art, like i do, OJ Art Gallery is the place to have it framed. read more

I have gotten a number of pieces framed here and always worked with the owner, Max. He is a true gentleman and great picker-of-frames. Everything I've gotten done looks incredible! I wouldn't take my art or photographs anywhere else in Manhattan. It's a pleasure to come every time as the experience is wonderful, the price more than reasonable, and the outcome perfection. read more

Going to start by saying Max is amazing! I recently purchased a piece (oil on canvas) and needed to have it framed, but did not have a clear vision of what would work due to its size (6'x5'). I brought the piece into Max, along with a photo of the area of my home that I would be displaying it, and he picked the perfect frame style and color. He and his staff were incredibly attentive and worked with me through the entire decision making process. Absolutely bringing all of my future needs to Max and his team. read more

Helpful, knowledgable folks. They made great recommendations for how to best frame my prints (lacquered finish, since my walls were matte; simple, white frames since the prints were modern). The finished product was museum quality. Since the pictures were heavy (and since I am one meek-looking little girl), one worker carried them to the corner for me and waited for me to catch a cab. Not a huge reviewer, but these guys deserve 5 stars. read more

I brought five certificates, awards, etc. to be framed here. The owner, Max, was an absolute delight. He asked me about my professional background and preferences and gave me not only options, but a candid assessment of what I should do. For an amateur at aesthetics, that is a godsend. And, better yet, he was right. The five pieces were duly framed and finished within a week, which is an exceptionally short timeframe for this kind of custom work. The price was more than fair (ballpark $150 ea.); frankly, it was a lot cheaper than what I paid at the campus bookstore to have my diplomas framed. You get custom framing for the quality, but you should know the price here also cannot be beat. I could not be happier with Max's work and have enthusiastically referred him to my colleagues. I am happy to do the same here. read more

Max is the BEST, but all of the people here are great. They have a very good sense for the correct matting and framing, no matter your style. They always offer the best and most reasonable solutions for your projects. I recently brought in 2 posters for my son's college room and they framed them both for $100! Better than buying pre-made frames and doing them myself. I just brought in an old water color that was turning yellow/brown around the edges of the Matt. The old matt was French matted (hand drawn lines around that are not done anymore). Max suggested a new mat close to the lines to save the beautiful French matting effect and restore the art so that no more damage is done by the old cardboard backing. If you love your art or posters, bring them here for the best advice and framing. Prices are excellent and service can't be beat. Work is done in just a couple of days! Best in the city!! read more

Over the past six months, I've gone to this frame shop three times and have had seven pieces custom framed. Not only is Max a pleasure to work with, but his prices are extremely affordable. And it usually takes less than ten days for a custom piece to come back which is much faster then anywhere else in the area. read more

Max is the best person to deal with. I wish all vendors were like him. He not only knows his stuff when it comes to framing but he is a sweet, considerate and very kind person. I had a shadowbox done which came out great and a frame for a watercolor painting which will pick up today. When i went to pick up the shadowbox he offered to have it sent to my house at no charge!! who does that nowadays?? Incredible customer care. No wonder he has so many good reviews. From now on, he is the guy I go to for all my frames. Highly recommended. read more

I have used a half-dozen framers over the years, but beginning 9 years ago Max -- the owner at OJ Art Gallery -- has been my only go-to framer. Max is genuinely friendly, highly professional, and he makes excellent creative suggestions for best way to frame a piece. I've given him some tough innovation challenges, such as framing an iPad so that it can be hung in an art show and run a coninuous slide-show loop for six weeks. It came out to be a striking piece; some visitors to the show even complimented me specifically on the framing (!) The work is always done quickly -- for example, I stopped by today to have him do a simple framing job, and hoped I could pick it up this weekend. "Tomorrow, Max?" "If you'll wait ten minutes, you can take it with you." It was another great job. Finally, the prices are always reasonable, often less than I'm expecting. Highly recommended. If 7 stars were available, I'd pin them on Max. John Emmerling NYC read more

Max at the OJ Gallery repaired a painting for us that had been damaged during a move. Max was wonderful. He was willing to work within our tight budget and went above and beyond to make the painting look like new. I can't believe how perfect it looks now - you'd never even know it was damaged! He also worked very efficiently and had the 4x4' painting finished and completely fixed in less than a week. I'm so grateful that we found the OJ Gallery and we will definitely be returning for any future art conservation or framing needs! read more

I have gotten art framed here, and most recently our ketubah. They are extremely easy to work with, have options at various price points, are reliable, and professional. Their framing has always been done very well. Highly recommend! read more

Was 1/3 the price and took 1/6 the time than the same frame quoted at the gallery I bought my painting.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I am adding to the below review that I have previously written. Awhile ago I purchased a very large framed picture for my wedding anniversary. I took it to Max because I needed it shipped to California. I had nightmares about shipping this thing. Max assured me it would arrive in perfect condition. He reframed the picture, changed the glass, prepared it for shipment, and sent it off to California. When my wife received it she said it literally took her 30 minutes to unpack. She said there was not a scratch on it due to the attention to detail from OJ Art Gallery. She couldn't stop talking about how well it was packed. Hands down this is the best frame shop in the city. Max the owner has over 27 years experience and he really knows what he is talking about. He is not a salesman like the others. He will present you with options and then allows you to decide. Max can frame a simple family photo or very high end fine art. He also stands behind his work 100%. I honestly can't say enough good things about Max. I'm retired from the military and recently learned that Max's father is also a veteran. I'm all about supporting veterans and family members of veterans. read more

Although I no longer live in Midtown East, I return to the OJ Art Gallery to have framing done, and also enjoy browsing and purchasing, either from the current in-shop inventory, or by ordering from one of the many catalogs available at the gallery. Work is always done well, in a timely manner, and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend this gallery to anyone who wants to preserve & display art in fine form. read more

I have a piece of art that I love dearly and was hesitant to entrust with a framer. Max did an incredible job. He made sure to ask me about my vision for the piece while giving really valuable and creative insights. He asked me about my apartment and the space the art would hang in, and showed me so many options. He was efficient, affordable, and knowledgeable. I am so in love with how it came out and will not go anywhere else for my future framing needs. read more

Absolutely outstanding experience every time I visit Max and the OJ Gallery. I've had a dozen pieces framed over the years and every one has been perfect! read more
