Shipping Art?
If you're an art collector who shops in the Houston area, it's likely that at some point, you've felt the need to ship some of your valuable collection. It can be difficult to trust that someone else will treat your artwork with the care that it deserves. It's tucked away in a box, where its beauty is hidden from view; and in addition to that, many people don't have the eye to recognize that the artwork they're holding is immensely valuable. Consider, for example, the works of Henri Matisse. Someone who doesn't know what they're looking at might not recognize the true value of these pieces at a glance, assuming that they are easily replaceable should something happen.
They aren't.
The works of Henri Matisse are fairly well-known in the art world. He has produced such gems as Still Life With Geraniums, The Conversation, and View of Notre Dame. Matisse's The Yellow Curtain has a fascinating history of discussion and interpretation surrounding it, but at first glance, it's not much to look at. These paintings, as well as many others, carry a hefty price tag whenever they are sold, and are insured heavily when they are shipped--but insurance doesn't cover the loss to the art world and to the artist's culture if something should happen in transit.
Pack-n-Send doesn't just ship your paintings out in a crate that is "close enough" to the right size, either. We construct custom crates that are specifically designed for the needs of your pieces of art.
Taking the art to a show? Pack-n-Send can easily construct crates that can be unpacked upon arrival and repacked at the end of the show so that they can easily be shipped back home again.
Our Houston packing services are well-known throughout the art world. Sending a sculptures? Not a problem. Again, Pack-n-Send is able to construct custom crates to protect your sculpture throughout its shipment, using the materials necessary to ensure that nothing will move during the shipping process. We recognize how precious each sculpture is, whether it's the work of a legend like Picasso or the work of a neighborhood artist who is getting ready to open a show for the first time. No matter what medium was used for the sculpture--marble, plastic, or found objects like bicycle parts and license plates--Pack-n-Send can ship your artwork safely. It doesn't matter whether it's traditional sculpture, freestanding and attached only to its own base, or a relief sculpture that stands up off of a backdrop. It doesn't matter if the piece is historic or contemporary. We have experience with everything from a $50 piece of artwork to the $850,000 piece. If it's heading out of Houston, Pack-n-Send is the way to get it to its destination.
