ABOUT SOHO

FRAMING NY
In 1977, Michael Ingbar started doing picture framing out of necessity for MFI Art Company, his San Francisco based corporation. By offering an additional framing option for the artwork he was selling, it in turn helped increase his artwork sales.
In 1981, when he relocated MFI Art Company to New York City’s Flatiron District, he was asked by a very well known architect to frame some of his existing works. Michael agreed to take on the project even though he didn’t really specialize in custom picture framing.
In 1986, MFI Art Company moved downtown to 568 Broadway, which at the time was known for being the center of New York City’s vibrant art world since many art galleries were located within the same building. Spotting a pent up demand, Michael decided to officially start up a separate division of MFI Art Company specifically geared toward custom picture framing. Thus, Soho Picture Framing NY was officially born.
In 2019, Soho Picture Framing NY was forced to move out of its long time Soho location and is currently available by appointment only.
Since those early days, Soho Picture Framing NY has done custom picture framing for countless individuals, artists, fine art collectors, art galleries, architects, interior designers, art consultants, corporations, and quite a few famous celebrities.
