"Behind EVERY Great Work Of Art........"

My family and I have been manufacturing OOK Professional Picture Hanging Hardware since 1964. Since then we have had the privilege to supply museums and art galleries around the world specialty hardware to hang art of all sizes and shapes. Although our association with "art" is always hidden, we take the responsibility of "supporting the arts" with incredible seriousness and consider ourselves and the products we manufacture as the custodians for the safe hanging and exhibition of every work of art hung on an OOK Picture Hanger.

Here is where I am going to share some of my thoughts and experiences of my involvement in the arts. I get to have some amazing exposure, education and fun with artists, art collectors, galleries, museums and retailers. I often get a chuckle when I am approached, say at a bar or some social event, and someone asks me what I do for a living. I'll often reply, "I am a picture hanging salesman'! That always will get a laugh or a look of the perplexed. But that is in effect what I am , a manufacturer of hanging hardware for the arts and as the saying goes, if you ever need anything hung,... we can hang it!
