Transport of Artworks, Paintings, Sculptures, and More
In art transport and art logistics, all the challenges of specialized transport come together. The items being transported are usually large, extremely delicate, and often cannot easily be assigned a price. Damage to artworks is difficult to repair and must be avoided at all costs. In addition, tight deadlines are often a factor, as exhibitions and events are scheduled and cannot be adjusted due to "transport problems" or poor logistics. Art transport is therefore a task for true professionals and not for a standard shipping company.
Sculptures, paintings, or abstract installations of modern art – all of these need to be moved from time to time. From storage to the exhibition space, from one exhibition to the next, or on loan to a distant museum – art is always in motion and requires careful, experienced handling. Good planning and the correct selection of equipment are almost always critical. Long-term experience is necessary not only to ensure the safety of the transport but also to keep it cost-effective. While some artworks may be extremely valuable, budgets for logistics are often limited.
Art Transport Pricing / Costs
Art transport or extensive art logistics is highly individual, depending on the requirements and effort involved. It is therefore
hardly possible to provide standard quotes. With our long-standing experience in specialized transport, we can, after inspecting
the items to be transported or receiving a detailed description, quickly provide a suitable offer. Simply contact us to ensure the

The Challenges of Art Transport
Artworks can be extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations, humidity, vibrations, and even light. These factors can affect their integrity and value. Therefore, transports must be carefully planned and executed to ensure that artworks are optimally protected during transit.
Artworks can also vary greatly in size and shape, from small sculptures to monumental paintings. The logistics required to transport such diverse artworks can be highly complex. Special packaging materials and transport containers must be used to ensure that the artworks arrive safely and undamaged at their destination.
Due to their high value, artworks are often targets for theft and vandalism. Therefore, it is crucial that appropriate security measures are taken during art transport to protect them from potential threats. This may include the use of security systems, surveillance cameras, and specially trained security personnel.
