The Art of Shipping

[Gander and White @ganderandwhite]

Our locations in the UK and France are prepared for #Brexit, no matter what occurs over the next few weeks.

@LEXPRESS asked our Paris director her thoughts on how she expects Brexit to affect the art market and its supply chain.

Going up! When works won't fit in an elevator, our teams have to get creative. We try to never say no to a request, and we've removed stairs, roofs and doorframes in the past to get the job done (with the client's permission of course!).

Yayoi Kusama's colourful large-scale sculptures can be found in sculpture gardens the world over; here's a bespoke crate we crafted for transporting one to its new home in the US!

This was the scene at 11am in downtown San Francisco yesterday! We're continuing to operate as normal, remaining Covid-secure at all times, and we're monitoring the situation closely.

Household relocation to Pacific Heights, San Francisco! When we install for private clients, we can manage everything for the home to be completely ready to move into, down to the finest detail.

Art. Shipping. Literally.

Luis Velez, of our Miami team, is seen here packing a scale model the U.S.S. Forrestal, ready to ship to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

From Florida to Soho, London! Delivery to a contemporary gallery before lockdown.

[Gander and White @ganderandwhite]

We have recently been preparing our London storage facilities for the decant of a large institution.

Here are some racks we constructed to hold some of the artworks we will be holding in store for the client!

Following the avant-garde tradition of creating art from the the unexpected, #SterlingRuby created a series of artworks based on the stove.

We recent delivered one of the works to a private client in Los Angeles, and here it is being winched into place.

Henry Rolfs was a well-known philanthropist in Palm Beach and we were involved in a deinstallation of his statue for restoration back in 2018.

Delivering and installing this QUEEN to a Greenwich museum earlier this year (pre-lockdown)

Michael Craig-Martin's colourful sculptural works were a great joy to install in South Florida in 2018.

Throwing back to our delivery of a work to a high-rise Miami condominium earlier this year! Here, the empty crate is being lowered after delivery of the artwork it contained.

[Gander and White @ganderandwhite]

We love analogies for our work, and perhaps one of our favourites is that we're a walnut shell for the kernel of the art world! In the 1970s, David Kemp, an RAF colleague and friend of our founder, Frank White, came up with this analogy and we liked it so we put it in an advert!

[Gander and White @ganderandwhite]

Inside this bespoke crate is a work by Albert Oehlen, safely protected until it reaches its destination of a Miami penthouse at the very top of the building. Here it is about to be lifted up.

[Gander and White @ganderandwhite]

Transporting you to the Grand Palais today (from a delivery a few years ago). One of the best spots for #fineartshipping in the world?

[Gander and White @ganderandwhite]

Hurricane Season is in full flow in Florida, and our facilities in Miami and Palm Beach are helping clients in the area be prepared. Here are some crates we crafted for temporarily storing works at risk from hurricane damage.

A morning delivery in rural France. Fine art shipping and installation services, wherever they're required!

[Gander and White @ganderandwhite]

Last year we provided fine art shipping services to the CORE Gala in Los Angeles, aiding fundraising efforts to support charitable projects in Haiti.
