Philadelphia artist Jamie Gray Williams faced a unique challenge when presented with an exclusive opportunity to showcase her work at Dowling Walsh Gallery in Rockland, Maine. The gallery required her to create two new pieces for the exhibition set to commence in just a few months. Urgently needing a solution for the delicate nature of her oil paintings, Jamie turned to us for fine art shipping and packing expertise.
Jamie’s intricate oil paintings, with a lengthy drying process, posed a time-sensitive predicament. The challenge was to protect her delicate creations during shipping and safeguard them from external elements.
Our fine art experts designed specialized shipping crates with a focus on:
Internal and External Protection: Wood sealing prevents flaking or dust formation inside while providing a robust weather barrier externally.
Surface Preservation: Innovative fastening directly to the crate allows the canvas to float inside without direct contact with the surface.
Reusability and Convenience: Sealing the crates with latches for easy opening at the gallery and ensuring reusability for returns or shipments to buyers.
Upon arrival at the gallery, exposure to a dreary Maine morning left the crates vulnerable. However, opening them revealed weather stripping along the edges, preventing water penetration. Despite being shipped with wet paint and rough handling, Jamie’s pieces were in impeccable condition. The innovative oil painting shipping crates successfully preserved the integrity of the artwork throughout the challenging transportation process.
In the realm of fine art shipping, tailored solutions, as exemplified by Jamie Gray Williams’ experience, are crucial. This success story emphasizes the importance of specialized crates in overcoming challenges and ensuring artistic masterpieces reach their destinations unscathed.
