Transporting works of art in Berlin and Germany
Lanzell art transport and art forwarding
Art moves people a lot.
But art also surprisingly often has to be moved itself.
After all, art often thrives on the fact that it does not always remain rigidly in the same place. Museums swap works with each other for exhibitions, new artists move through the country's galleries or private collectors sell off parts of their great treasures.
Transporting works of art is always a challenging task, because the goods to be transported are not only usually fragile, but also almost irreplaceable. In addition, there are tight schedules for exhibitions and the distances to be covered are usually very long. Ultimately, transporting works of art is a truly specialised transport - and should be left to the professionals.
Transporting works of art - planning and experience
When it comes to transporting works of art, there really is no standardised procedure - and if there were, it would be very questionable to have one. Transporting works of art is always a unique task, always surprising and new. With paintings and sculptures in particular, it is often the sheer dimensions that complicate transporting art. As a rule, nothing can be "dismantled" or "simplified" here. The work of art to be transported is just the way it is.
The only thing that helps here is as much experience as possible. Have you ever handled similar transports before? What were the decisive criteria for success back then? And where did you realise that you could have done better?
If you not only ask these questions, but can also answer them, you have already taken the first step towards a successful art transport.
Transporting paintings, statues or art installations
What do you need to be aware of when transporting works of art such as paintings and other artefacts? As a rule, it is not the most obvious dangers to which a work of art is exposed during transport - such as knocks, falls and vibrations. Professional handling and modern equipment are the minimum standard. Artworks are more susceptible to climatic changes or even banal exposure to light. Planning the appropriate packaging materials and transport conditions requires a great deal of experience and sufficient expertise. Prices and costs for suitable packaging and the necessary protective measures should not usually play a role, but with the appropriate experience, these can be kept within reasonable limits.
Transport routes and access situations are not always easy either. Art does not necessarily adhere to standardised doors and gates - and certainly not to current expectations and specifications. It can therefore quickly become necessary to think about unconventional transport routes and ways of bringing in and taking out works of art.
Transporting works of art - prices and costs
How much does it cost to transport works of art?
Even more than with other types of transport, transporting works of art is all about trust. A long company history and many references are good indicators of this. Without care and professionalism, you won't get either when transporting works of art. Normal haulage companies or removal firms are rarely able to assess the high risks involved in transporting artworks, but are nevertheless happy to advertise them. Prices and costs for transporting and moving artworks almost always depend on the project and are calculated individually according to the work involved. However, the prices and costs do not have to be exceptionally high. We will be happy to make you a fair offer.
Moving works of art - from small private transport to large exhibitions
Art is something for everyone. Some people just enjoy looking at it, others want to own their own works of art. Moving works of art is therefore not a purely commercial job. The collector who wants to have a single work of art brought safely to his home is just as much our customer as galleries, museums or exhibitions travelling through Germany.
