About Andrew Scott
The first frame experiments
Raised in Fairport, New York, Scott lives and works in nearby Rochester. He drew as a child and came back to making art around 2021. In January 2023 he started posting videos of his frame experiments online, and one passed a million views within a week. By that August his following had grown from about 600 to nearly 200,000. His studio now puts total views of the frame experiments at more than a billion, and his works have been featured on Good Morning America, ABC News and Yahoo News, while some of his commissions hang on the walls of Joanna Gaines and Kaley Cuoco.
Breaking the frame on camera
His frame works start with a drawn figure behind glass, and Scott then changes the frame or glass so that the figure seems responsible. A batter's swing punches out the pane; a frame's edge is chipped away with a pickaxe; a cord is snapped so the frame drops and a drawn boy appears to slide. In another piece a drawn boy seems to have fired his slingshot at the glass. Scott has said the filmed moment of breaking gives the work "a performance art aspect". Red recurs from piece to piece.
His early work set two figures in separate frames reacting to each other, a device he called a visual plot twist, before the action moved into the frame itself. His studio lists escapism, loneliness, curiosity and empowerment among the themes, and he has linked his choice of children to their not yet knowing where their limits are.
From Breakthrough to Unaltered
His three collections with Stowe Gallery, Breakthrough (2023), Frame of Mind (2024) and Parallel Worlds (2025), all sold out. Unaltered, his October 2026 series with the gallery, turns the method around: the frame is left untouched, and each drawing plays against the edges of the paper instead. As Scott puts it, "All that's needed to complete the story is to add a frame."

Collector & Guidance
Buying a Andrew Scott
Two quite different kinds of print carry his imagery. The hand-finished editions, published by Stowe Gallery, are giclées of about 33 by 44.5 cm, issued framed. Smaller, unframed digital prints carrying a Stowe Gallery blindstamp have also appeared; check whether one is signed and numbered before treating it as an edition.
Most editions recorded since 2023 are numbered out of 250. Torn (2025) also has 25 artist's proofs, and printer's proofs exist for some titles, so a proof marking is not in itself a warning sign.
On the editions documented so far, his signature and the edition number (some signed works do not have a speficic edition size and therefore no edition number) are on a label on the back of the work. Ask for a clear photograph of that label, check the number against the edition size, and ask for the certificate of authenticity issued by the original releasing gallery, Stowe Gallery.
For works directly from his collections, the provenance should lead back to the gallery's original sale.
Selling a Andrew Scott
Begin by stating whether the frame and glass are the ones the work was issued in, since buyers will want to know the piece is complete as Scott or his gallery originally finished it. Then send images of the whole work straight on and at an angle, so that the hand-finished elements read, with a close view of the label on the back.
Supporting paperwork should include the Stowe Gallery order confirmation or invoice and the certificate, together with the title, year and the number or proof marking from the label. Mention any loose fragments inside the frame, or string that has slackened or come away.

Market & Collectability
The highest price paid on FairArt for Andrew Scott is US$7,450, for the 2024 Frame of Mind set of four prints, Leap, Pull, Firework and Dig, each from an edition of 250, in April 2025. That sale stands well above the set’s usual level: other copies sold for between £2,000 and £2,995 in 2024. All figures here are FairArt sale prices before fees and shipping.
His smaller editions have produced the highest prices for single prints. In April 2026 a copy of Hide & Seek (2024), a hand-varnished giclée on canvas in an edition of 100, sold for US$5,080, where earlier copies had made between about £1,200 and £2,500. The same week, a printer’s proof of Slide, a print on canvas with a broken frame, sold for £3,750. Telephone, also from an edition of 100, has sold for between €2,000 and €2,600 since November 2025.
Roughly four in five of the more than 500 Andrew Scott sales on FairArt since August 2023 are numbered copies from editions of 192 or 250, and here the individual title counts for more than the edition size. From Breakthrough (2023), The Boxer, an edition of 192, has typically sold for £345 to £695, while Push, from a larger edition of 250, has made between £1,350 and £3,023 since 2025. Later editions of 250, such as Pull and Fore (both 2024), have mostly sold for £450 to £995.
The entry point is Mini Prints 2025, unframed A4 prints with a deckled edge, which have resold for £90 to £290.
A single sale can sit far from the usual level, as the highest results above show, so the best guide to a work’s value is several recent sales of the same title and edition.
FAQS
Is the broken glass on an Andrew Scott edition damage?
Usually not. On his frame-experiment editions the glass is broken, the paper torn or string attached by hand as part of the edition, so each copy differs slightly from the next. Damage is anything beyond that intended finish, such as new cracks that look unintentional and are running out from the break.
Can I reframe an Andrew Scott frame-experiment edition?
Not without altering what you own. The break or alteration is made in the original frame and glass, so a new frame or replacement pane takes away part of the work itself. If a repair is unavoidable, keep the original components and record what was changed.
How do I hear about new Andrew Scott works?
Is this Andrew Scott the actor, or the sculptor Andy Scott?
Neither. The actor Andrew Scott is Irish, and the sculptor Andy Scott was born and raised in Glasgow and works from a studio in Philadelphia. Some listings and articles mix up their biographies, so check that a work is described as one of Andrew Scott's frame pieces before relying on the text around it.
