Gallery Rod System

Hot Rods

The beautiful face without a name:

What can be said about hanging systems? They're the underappreciated, behind the scenes components of an art exhibit. They're the stagehand who pulls open the curtain at a Broadway show. They're the circus employee who puts tack on the horses and elephants. They're the magician's assistants who trigger the trap door when no one's looking. They aren't the illusion, but they are essential to the creation of the illusion.

Why you may want to go with the rod system:

The rod system is the system best suited for heavy items, such as a stone mosaic or a very large painting with an ornate frame. With many modern artists using avant-garde media such as metal or reviving the ancient style of the triptych with multi panels, the rod system is a good choice. The rod system is not only strong; it's efficient, convenient and creates a stable yet balanced orientation. The rod system is a popular choice as it adds a sophisticated air of mystique yet is practical in application.

What Systematic Art can do for you:

Systematic Art proudly supplies two types of museum rod hooks. One can support up to 54 pounds of weight with either aluminum or stainless steel picture hanging rods. The other costs a dollar extra, but is sturdier in that it can handle 64 pounds on an aluminum rod and 100 pounds on a stainless steel rod. Both hooks have self-locking cam action and slide easily on to the rod.
