Dina, for what it's worth the glass & "L" hooks solution is very popular
on this coast, among both faculty and students -- often preferred to
frames, which be too grand for a less than perfect, or informal, school
setting.
I'll add just two things:
1. those expensive frames may look dandy now, but odds are in 10 years or
so they will be OUT OF STYLE, and if you haven't sold them yet.... : (,
especially if you're not printing in those sizes any more -- a storage
problem.
2. AFAIK, those "L" hooks are called "tenter hooks," and that is the
derivation of the expression "s/he was on tenter hooks," meaning
hanging, or in suspension, or less secure than with nut and bolt, or
threaded screw. The expression is often mangled into "tender hooks" ---
which is an entirely different topic, as you can perhaps imagine.
good luck with the show,
Judy
