NYC Moving Hacks: Transporting Your Art Collection

One of the pleasures of living in New York City is the rich art scene. There are so many galleries, shops, and other venues to find artwork that delights the heart and eye. Art collectors are particularly passionate about the paintings, sculptures, and other creations they’ve found over the years. Curating and displaying a collection is an art in itself.

When it comes time to move an art collection, whether you’re changing homes, lending a piece to a museum or show, or need to move some pieces into storage, you want skilled, experienced professionals to do the job. Artwork is by its very nature unique and irreplaceable. Here’s what you need to know about making sure it gets to its new destination safely:

Specialty Packing Services

Artwork often needs special packing to preserve it throughout the moving process. This can include custom crating services, the use of specialized packing materials, and more. You’ll want to work with an experienced NYC moving company. In some instances, when available, having insights from the artist regarding the artwork’s construction can be very helpful.

Safety & Security

An art collection can be worth a great deal of money. For that reason, you want to trust moving it only to professional moving companies with an established reputation for reliability and honesty. Choose a moving company that’s a member of the American Moving and Storage Association – AMSA is the trade association for truly professional movers.
