Wall anchors. They will vary depending on the type of wall the art is being installed on.

For the frame, the stronger the better for the hardware. Multi- screw metal plates with secure welded on rings (AKA "D" hooks) or bent plates with holes. Do not skimp on the quality or size of the screws.

Split batten would work as well if there's enough room in the rebate
