Packaging Artwork for International Shipping: Secrets to a Safe Art Expedition Shipping art abroad requires special attention to packaging. It not only ensures the safety of the artwork during transportation but also protects it from various environmental conditions. For international shipping, multiple factors must be considered, such as extended transit times, fluctuating temperatures, and humidity changes. Using specialized materials tailored to shipping conditions and professional packaging that takes into account the characteristics of each art object ensures the security and preservation of valuable artworks throughout the journey. In this context, professional logistics services specializing in international art transportation become an essential component of a successful expedition. Developing individualized packaging strategies tailored to the unique features of each artwork, while adhering to international safety standards, are key aspects to focus on when preparing art for shipping and transportation abroad.

The ArtDom gallery workshop has been manufacturing boxes for shipping paintings abroad since 2016. We have created an original design so that collectors and art lovers receive paintings whole and undamaged. We have already sent more than 1,000 international parcels, and in this article we will show the process of manufacturing our boxes and conduct a small crash test. 

When the picture is large, the cost of logistics is correspondingly higher. After all, the tariff is calculated based on size and weight. For example, the tariff for delivery of a picture on a stretcher 150 x 100 cm in the USA will exceed 500 u.o. Therefore, one of the ways to save money on the international delivery of large paintings is to send them in a roll.

In this article we will get acquainted with the work of an outstanding artist and talented Ukrainian graphic artist - Yuri Dotsenko . We were lucky enough to hold in our hands the catalogue of the artist's exhibition of works from 2003. It presents all the paintings and graphics that were exhibited at the artist's personal exhibition. The catalogue was published by the National Union of Theatre Workers of Ukraine with the assistance of the Actor's House. 

A special approach is needed to transport a fragile and valuable item, including an art piece. In such cases, only those specialists who have positive experience in this field can help. The ArtDom company also works as a gallery, so it knows all the specifics of transporting art pieces very well. 

Recently, a solemn event took place in Kyiv - the celebration of 70 years of creative activity of the Mytets gallery. In honor of the anniversary, the gallery published an illustrative catalog, which included its artists, whose works were exhibited during the history of the gallery. 

How to reduce the cost of delivery of a painting by 3-4 times? There is one way, but you need to be careful with it. 

A man of many talents - artist, collector, experimenter - Boyko Petr. Even today, the artist works tirelessly and maintains the morale of Ukrainians.

The ArtDom gallery was visiting a collector and we were lucky to find a catalog of Alexander Turansky's works "Painting. Plastics". The catalog was published by Emirat LLC in 2006 with the help of Nikolai Kudrenko and Dmitry Polubesov in a circulation of only 500 copies. 

Turansky (also - Turanskiy) Alexander is a whole chapter in the history of Ukrainian art. The artist grew up in the direction of socialist realism, but wanted to create paintings in a completely different style. After many years of experimentation, Turansky created his own style, which has already become recognizable.
