Fine art transportation →Fine art movers and art installers in Manhattan
From its Long Island City base, Aiston moves, installs, stores and prepares artwork for collectors, galleries, advisors, designers, estates and institutions across Manhattan.
Manhattan projects
One plan from the building door to the wall.
In Manhattan, how a work moves depends as much on the building as on the artwork. Aiston plans the object, the access and the next step together, so a delivery, installation or storage release is ready before the crew arrives.
Founded in New York in 2002, Aiston handles projects from a single framed work to gallery transfers, estate moves and full collection layouts, and keeps object records connected from collection to placement.

Installation on site
Wall substrate, utilities, ceiling height, occupied spaces and building requirements are reviewed with the hardware, crew and delivery sequence.
Manhattan questions
Before you request a quote
Does Aiston work in Manhattan?
Yes. Aiston is based in Long Island City and supports projects throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Hamptons, Long Island and the tri-state area.
What should I send for a Manhattan quote?
Share artwork photos, dimensions, quantity and current packing status, the collection and delivery addresses, building access details such as stairs, elevators, loading areas or building rules, and your preferred timing.
Can a Manhattan move include storage or installation?
Yes. Packing, crating, storage intake at the Long Island City facility and installation can be planned in the same scope, so the next step is agreed before collection.
