Bringing large and small masters safely to their destination
Museum logistics and art logistics for exhibitions, museums, trade fairs and events
Whether an old master or a gifted newcomer, works of art are generally irreplaceable. The creative power inherent in each individual work can almost never be restored in the event of damage or accidents. Art transport in the context of art logistics, exhibition logistics and museum logistics is therefore one of the most challenging projects that a specialised transporter can encounter. Every art logistics project is different, each has its own peculiarities and very specific problems that need to be solved. Off-the-peg solutions are not often available here.
Nevertheless, there are of course best practices that are acquired over the course of many projects and these are generally based on planning, experience and the right tools for each specific requirement. Whether painting, sculpture or installation, successful art logistics characterises a truly successful logistics company.
Logistics for paintings, sculptures and other works of art
When it comes to the damage that a work of art can suffer, one often initially thinks of physical influences such as falls, knocks or vibrations. In practice, however, it is much more often the not so clearly recognisable interactions with the environment that can cause real damage to a work of art. Incorrect temperatures, improper storage, moisture and the effects of light can destroy sensitive canvases and colours, especially in the case of paintings. Suitable packaging and ensuring the right (and stable) climatic conditions during transport are the key to guaranteeing the safety of the artwork.
Part of art logistics is of course also the professional assembly and disassembly of artworks. In addition to technically skilled and specially trained personnel, the correct use of tools and aids is particularly important here. Air cushion technology, forklift trucks and stair lifts help to eliminate specific hazards and to master even problematic environments quickly and safely.
