Abstract

A tri-face artwork display device that allows for three different views within the same frame. One embodiment includes upper and lower rows of corresponding slits on the top and bottom of the frame. The slits have a predetermined depth so as to not penetrate through the other side of the frame. The slits hold the image panels that display the second and third image to compliment the first image. The image panel has a second image on its first face and a third image on its second face. The present invention includes a second embodiment that is used to retrofit an existing standard frame. The fillet assembly uses a plurality of receiving cavities defined by two side walls to hold image panels. The fillet may also have a locking flange, which extends perpendicular from the fillet and fits underneath the matting of a frame to securely hold the fillet in place.
