"The art handlers that came yesterday were so great. The crate delivery to us (and us trying to move it around) was just a comedy of errors, and we're so happy to have had capable people to come correct. I also really appreciated the care and consideration of the paintings delivered. Many thanks, you all are wonderful."

"We have been clients of Artwork for decades, during which time they have cared for both our personal and corporate collection with the utmost professionalism, attention to detail, and care. Their rigorous approach to understanding all media – from painting to works on paper, sculpture, and installation pieces – ensures that while art is in their care it is in the best of hands. Each member of the Artwork team balances a respect for the collection with an in-depth knowledge about how best to showcase individual pieces in whatever location they will be installed. As our collection grew, the locations in which it was installed ranged from our offices and homes to temporary loans, museums, and galleries. Artwork kept meticulous track of it all and handled every detail to ensure each piece was safe. When the work was in storage, we knew that it was in the best of hands, secure from anything that might harm it and ready when it was time to move it for installation. In addition to all of their professionalism, the team is kind, friendly, and a joy to work with always. They provide us a level of care for our art that allows us to know it is in good hands always."

"In September 2019 I used Art Work Fine Art Services to ship a major museum exhibition from Oregon to New York that involved individually preparing and crating 110 valuable posters and photographs and 25 examples of fashion. This huge task was handled with extreme professionalism and attention to detail. I was kept informed during every stage of the process, from the initial bid to confirmation that all items had been safely delivered to the museum. Excellent work on every front. I would use them again without hesitation.
