Talking about the number one thing no one in the art world wants to talk about… until it’s too late.🤫

Hiring others to ship artwork, why “I didn’t know” is no longer an excuse, and who is actually at fault when things go seriously wrong. 🚐🖼️

In Part 3, the final video of this three-part series, I talk about why you can always trust a someone’s word on a handshake. 🤝 The reality is, (even if they say they do) not everyone operates truthfully with honesty and integrity. 😈 Many carriers and movers offering art shipping services choose to operate deceptively to evade legal regulations and “fly under the radar.” 🧑‍🦯‍➡️Choosing to blindly trust someone’s word instead of DYOR to vet them, or looking the other way and hiring them despite knowing they’re not operating legally, while continuing to aid their illegal operation, could land you in serious legal trouble. 🏛️ Your priority might be the artwork and your bottom line, but the biggest priority is the safety of everyone else on the highway. 🛣️

In Part 2 of this three-part series, I break down how to properly research and vet anyone you are considering hiring to transport artwork; what to look for in a legit carrier ✅, and what to avoid at all costs 🚩 so you aren’t blamed if they are involved in a serious accident. 🚙💥🚛

In Part 1 of this three-part series, I break down the historic SCOTUS ruling in the recent Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC and explain how a single unanimous decision just completely rewrote art shipping liability. 🧑‍⚖️

Behind the scenes of a fine art courier 🖼️🚐💨: A little hustle and grind in the Big Apple! 🍎

Navigating the greater New York metro isn’t for the faint of heart, especially when you’re driving a larger delivery vehicle. Between traffic, tolls, width, height, weight, and commercial vehicle restrictions, driving into New York City is a hard “pass” for a lot of art couriers. Many end up passing shipments off to other more willing and able carriers, which inherently increases risk.

We may be a couple of ladies from Colorado… Luckily, none of that scares us! Till next time, NYC! ❤️

Behind the scenes of a fine art courier 🖼️🚐💨: It’s a good thing we’re 90s Tetris kids!

We collected all the artwork in this shipment from a number of different locations during our last trip through the Midwest, East Coast, and California in December and January. Now that the exhibition is over it’s time to return everything to where they came from!

PS. For anyone wondering… The work of art around my neck is courtesy of Telluride’s own Metal Rock Designs!
