I am looking into shipping a single painting from Massachusetts to Texas at the end of August.  I'd love a recommendation of a good company, as this is not something we have to do with any frequency.  The painting will be coming from a collector, not a gallery or museum, so I will need to find a company willing to pack the artwork safely and then ship it to Austin.

Thanks so much,

Rowena

We've used Artex to ship to Texas and Montana and it went well.

Hello Rowena

U.S. Art, Artex, Atelier 4, Artemis Fine Art Services and others provide fine art shuttle service throughout much of the contiguous United States, as well as provide packing services (for example, U.S. Art has a crate shop in Randolph, MA).  All or most of these companies have a form on their websites to request a transport & packing estimate.  Be prepared to provide dimensions for the artwork to be transported and packed.

Regarding packing, depending on age and condition of painting, you may be able to simply have it "soft-wrapped" in a corrugated board shadow box, which is less expensive than getting a wood crate fabricated.

I hope this is helpful.

Best regards.

"Displays Art Services" is a Texas based art shipping company. They were referred to me by the Registrar's Office one of the major museums in the south. They were extremely cooperative and efficient in picking up  my medium sized painting from the out of the way location where I live and then delivering it to my client in suburban New York City. I got bids from three different companies and the "Displays Art Services" bid was the one chosen by my client.

Try Fine Arts Enterprises (FAE), which is headquartered in Boston. They specialize in packing and shipping works of art, and I have used them in the past when shipping things for a museum. The website is FAE Boston Welcome
