Divine cover art!!
gorgeous, frame it!
i'd love to hunter, but i'd have to tear apart the magazine, and although i'm very tempted to do that often, a part of me thinks that i should keep the magazines together. i'm about to tear up and frame my Leon Bakzt Russian Ballet brochure which has one of the graphics already cut out of it. but some of the gorgeous images are back-to-back w/ others. i may try to frame it so that i can turn it around to see either image periodically.
yeah, it's a hard decision to make: I think if you feel a single (or series) of images is more important than the text, it's fine to take apart a magazine or document. For me, if I think that it's something I will look at and appreciate more in a frame/on a wall than bound together, that's how I make the decision.
I also have a postcard in a double-sided frame on a shelf (with glass on both sides) that's pretty lovely - a very nice way to display two-sided paper pieces...
