Boston Shipping Spotlight: Artwork

February 17, 2011 by admin

Building a fine art collection is an extremely personal, individual endeavor.  Every collector wants to find pieces of art that resonate with them personally: artwork that is emotionally moving, aesthetically pleasing, and culturally valuable. When you get down to what this looks like, you’ll get as many different answers as you have art collectors.

Some people build their art collections around unique textile pieces, like these crocheted portraits by Jo Hamilton. Other people prefer paintings. Still others prefer portraits done in stained glass. There are countless other options – and yet all of this artwork has one thing in common.

Shipping Artwork Requires Expertise

Packaging and shipping a crocheted portrait, which is soft and flexible, is a very different endeavor than packaging and shipping stained glass.  An expert Boston packaging and shipping company has the experience and knowledge to provide customized packaging solutions for many different types of artwork.  It’s critical to know how to cushion the artwork to prevent damage while it is in transit.  Custom crating involved designing and building packaging boxes or wooden crates specifically for your artwork.

Ensuring on-time delivery inside the home or gallery is essential to maintain security and guarantee that your artwork always reaches its final destination. Fine art and antiquities are, by their very nature, irreplaceable.  Extensive tracking abilities allow you to keep track of your artwork as it makes its journey.  Full insurance protects your investment.

Artists often have to ship artwork to galleries or collectors.  It’s well worth the investment for an artist to develop a strong working relationship with their local shipping company.  You can’t sell broken sculptures or shattered stained glass windows!

Shipping Artwork

Shipping artwork also involves making sure all the proper paperwork is in place.  Shipping paperwork can play a critical role in determining the ownership of artwork.   It’s essential to have everything filled out properly. Work with experts who know how to handle the job right!

"I needed to bring a few pieces of furniture from my parents' home in Connecticut to my home in Watertown and move a few additional pieces to Bethesda, Maryland. This was not a large project, but complicated to arrange. I had to go to southern Connecticut in order to meet the moving truck, which involved coordinating my schedule with their availability and then arrange for the drop-off at each end of the move. In spite of my schedule constraints on my part, waffling (on my part) and the overall complexity of the task at hand, Joe Fell [of Boston Pack and Ship] was invariably helpful, responsive and patient. In the end, the move went smoothly and I very much appreciated their efforts."
