"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 medias from painting to works on paper to sculpture to installation pieces ensures that while art is in their care, being transported, and being installed 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 to homes to temporary loans to 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 and 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."

"A note of appreciation to you and your team for the installation work on the two buildings in Seattle. Many thanks for being flexible with our changing schedule – and my gratitude to your team for their expertise and capacity to work with me remotely. All the pieces look great installed. The 3rd building is scheduled for mid-end of January. I’ll connect back once I have more information."

"Everything went very smoothly with Brian and Chris. They were right on time and well prepared. Excellent containers which fit like gloves. Great attitudes and work ethic...they offered help to another loading crew so the overall effort would go smoother. Very personable and professional. You would have been proud of them. But, somehow, I think you already knew that!! Pat 'em on the back for us if you would."

“Just want to thank you for the marvelous job your guys Dustin and Jonathan (?) did in transporting 12 pieces of artwork from downtown Portland to Mary’s Woods in Lake Oswego! They were so much fun and took the ancient freight elevator’s size in stride! They loved the stories about the art they were picking up.”
