What is Art Handling?
Art handling is a catch-all phrase describing what goes into moving and installing artwork. An art handler is a professional who prepares objects in art collections for transport and display, while maintaining their original condition and appearance. Art preparators can be involved in logistical, supply chain, or inventory management tasks.
