Hi Everyone,

I will be coordinating the international shipping of several artworks next year and am looking for advice. I was wondering if anyone has experience shipping artwork to/from South Africa. What company would you recommend? Any special considerations or issues to be aware of? Any problems that arose? Anything you would do differently?

I would appreciate any information that anyone is able to share.

Thanks!

Kathryne,

I recommend contacting John Robinette at jtrobinette.com. His network of professional art handlers, shippers, and collection specialists is a great resource for registrars and museums that need short-term specialty services.

Hi Kathryne,

I recommend contacting ICEFAT (International Convention of Fine Art and Exhibition Transporters) web page:  About Us | ICEFAT This is the Global Network of trusted, experienced and most involved fine art logistic providers. Check out the members page, and you'll find a member company in South Africa, Elliott Mobility with offices and contact details, as well as several USA fine art logistic providers. Hope this helps and all the best for your international project. With best wishes,
