I want to hang a tapestry throw blanket on the wall as art. It has fringe on all four sides; I don't want to cut off but don't want it to hang "funny" on the sides.

Starch them. You are over thinking this, it is artistic to have the fringe flop over or hang down. To me it would be funny to have a stiff blanket hanging from the wall. Or at least that is how I see it. 🤔
I would hang it on a curtain rod with the fringe at the top making the rod pocket.

I hung a large flag using 2 strips of wood. One on the entire length of the top and one for the bottom. I used command strips to attach the wood to the flag.
It will hang best and be less distorted if you sew a backing material to it. Also, on the backside top - sew a strip of fabric to create a channel and hang with a rod.
You could manually sew large rings on one side and then hand on a decorative rod.
I would create a rod pocket behind it and hang it on a curtain rod. I think the weight of the fringe might still flop, but starch might help.
