Back to the Picture is a San Francisco-based art gallery and custom framing shop founded in 1985. The operation has focused on Latin American art and local San Francisco artists, providing exhibition opportunities and presenting arts and crafts from the region alongside framing services. It serves artists, collectors, and the general public, delivering fine-quality framing and preservation work. In 2005 the company expanded to San Francisco's South of Market district, starting at 1110 Howard Street and relocating in 2011 to 83 10th Street within the mid-Market improvement district. The operation emphasizes careful handling and framing using state-of-the-art equipment and industry-standard art handling methods, with leadership including Randy Figures, involved since 2002, Oscar Ortega overseeing framing since 1996, and Derek Hargrove and Brandon Fung joining in 2011 to aid growth.
