Introduction

Moving artwork, particularly valuable paintings it's not only a simple move, but also a mission. At PMR, we recognize that each brushstroke, as well as every canvas and every frame, is a source of historical sentiment and tremendous worth. This is why, when it comes to moving precious art, we go above and beyond the standard moving procedures and step into the realm of professional art movers- a team of experts, trained and committed to preserving the quality of your work from beginning to end.

If you're an art lover, gallery owner, gallery proprietor, or curator of a museum. Our goal is to make sure that your work is handled with the same respect and reverence with which it was created.

What Makes Fine Art Relocation So Challenging?

Moving fine art is a delicate procedure. It's not only about loading and unloading. It's about protecting against the effects of humidity, vibrations, temperature shifts and even accidental contact. These irritants can cause damage to fragile surfaces or disrupt the aging material.

This is the reason moving fine art demands more than cardboard and packing tape. It requires a thorough knowledge of packaging materials, art technology, and logistics management -- all of which PMR's team of experts provides.

How Does PMR Use Museum-Quality Packing for Art?

The most important aspect of ensuring the safety of artwork is how the item is packed. At PMR, we use museum-quality art packing methods that are specifically tailored to the dimensions, shape, and fragility of the artwork. From acid-free tissue papers and corner protectors to crates that are custom-built each layer is applied precisely and with care.

These materials shield artwork from the effects of moisture, vibration and shock during transportation--three of the greatest threats to artwork when moving long distances.

Is Climate Control Really Necessary for Artwork Transport?

Absolutely. Some artworks, particularly older oil-based or oil paintings, are very sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. A small change in temperature could cause the painting to break or warp the canvas, or it could cause the frame to stretch or shrink.

This is why art shipping with climate control is a part of our relocation strategy. PMR utilizes specially designed storage facilities that maintain the ideal temperatures and humidity levels.

How Does PMR Ensure the Security of Priceless Painting Transport?

If you are a client who trusts us with artwork of high value, or unique security is of paramount importance. PMR can provide safe and secure art transport that incorporates the ability to track your artwork using GPS, discrete and tamper-proof packaging, as well as personnel with a background check and experience dealing with luxury items.

When the artwork is transported across continents or across cities, you can rely on our team to ensure that it arrives securely, safely, and on schedule.

Do You Need Special Insurance for Moving Art?

The value of art is indestructible. PMR takes care of every item with attention, we urge our clients to think about the possibility of acquiring art insurance to help with moving. 

This is not just financial security in the eventuality of loss or damage but also provides peace of mind throughout the entire relocation process.

How Does PMR Manage International Art Relocation?

When artwork has to be transported across borders, the difficulties increase. From customs paperwork to compliance with regulatory requirements and coordination of transportation international relocations require careful preparation.

Our team is proficient in international art relocation and can assist galleries, collectors, and institutions in navigating through customs protocol as well as packaging regulations for freight to ensure seamless transfer across borders.

What Specialized Handling Techniques Are Used?

Like other items of everyday use, art requires skilled hands and specialized equipment for each step of the process. PMR employs special art handling procedures ranging from white-glove services to storage handling that is climate sensitive, which ensures that each step is executed with rigor and precision.

Our team members receive regular training in handling materials, crate building, as well as lifting objects that are fragile to ensure they are ready for a variety of art-moving situations.

What Role Does Art Logistics Play in the Move?

A successful art relocation relies in the same way it is executed. Our relocation services for art include pre-move assessment routing mapping, planning according to climate conditions and coordination with property or customs officials.

This planning at the back end reduces the chance for delays, exposure to environmental factors or improper handling, making it possible to take your artwork with the confidence and professionalism it deserves.
