a blog on transportation, packing and customs formalities for works of art

This blog is supposed to be a source of practical information for people with more academic than logistic background, who deal with transports of art works on behalf of galleries, museums or art collectors. For non-EU art forwarding agents, it may be useful, while trying to understand the absolutely inconsistent European customs system :)

Recommendation!!! When in Berlin, have a look at the exhibition “Dry Crust and Oceans of Liquid Matter” at Horse&Pony in Neukölln. Playing with themes of social revolution and creative process and volcano as their metaphore, the exhibition presents a number of wonderfully deceiving objects, which are terrible to transport at the same time 😋 There’s plaster pretending to be marble - this is an old trick. There is a burning candle floating on water. But also ceramics pretending to be wood and hand-painted porcelain looking like granite bricks. On top of that, the unique interior of the gallery itself gives you some uncertainty about what belongs there for good and what is exhibited art. Enjoy!

Ultra-rich collectors who run their own museums will benefit from the change

The world-famous quinquennial almost went bust after Adam Szymczyk's ambitious two-city exhibition inflated costs.
