... is one of those rather cleaver repros done with that process Graham Nash developed, then it may well be stretched on a frame.
If that is the case, you could easily line it with acoustic foam.
Any prints treated like this will give at least some (mainly high frequency) absorption if placed either very symmetrically or very unevenly round the room

Was joking about the Warhol.. - hatari 14:07:15 06/04/07 (1)
But the largest art I have in the room is canvas stretched on a frame, but lining the back with acoustic foam can't hurt - great idea! I'll do that.

Thanks

  ... well, within limits... it isn't canvas, but ti is stretched on a frame.
  It's just over a metre square and as my house is very open plan, I get a lot of boominess round the house.
  Placing the picture at different spots noticeably changes the acoustic of the place.
  for many cotton or silk fabrics, the nature of the material won't detract from the absorption behind it to any noticeable extent.
  Depending on your decor, some of the those fabrics from Marimeko are very popular as wall decorations and make great absorption panels being available off the roll and at 1.2M wide.

  I wonder if they have a version that accepts normal latex paint - then it can be painted to match the wall... can't be too many issues with the decorating police on that.
  
  Thanks
