SERVICES
TRANSPORTATION TRUSTED HANDS, GLOBAL REACH
Most art transportation is local; it begins and ends with art handlers and an air-ride climate control truck. The ICEFAT network ensures that as an artwork moves from New York to London, from Paris to Dubai, there is an ICEFAT member at each location to guarantee that the artwork is handled, inspected, documented and transported professionally and in accordance with local laws.
Contact your local ICEFAT member for an estimate to transport your artwork around the corner or around the world.
