Fine Art Movers & Transportation in NYC
Fine art movers and art shipping across New York City, Long Island and the tri-state area. Pickup, delivery, packing and installation, planned as one move.
The movement plan
Artwork, access and handovers belong in one movement plan.
Aiston's fine art movers coordinate artwork pickup, delivery and shipping for collectors, galleries, advisors and institutions from our Long Island City base. The plan connects object handling with building access, release permissions and receiving arrangements, so the next step is agreed before collection.
New York City, Long Island and tri-state projects can include a single framed work, gallery transfers, storage releases, estate moves or exhibition deliveries. Long-distance service is arranged around the route and availability. Packing, crating, storage intake and installation can be included in the same scope, so the next step is planned before collection. The full list is on our art handling services page.
A controlled journey
Four connected decisions
- 01
Assess
Artwork, packing status, access, timing, and destination are reviewed together.
- 02
Plan
Crew, vehicle, equipment, protection, route, and building requirements are coordinated.
- 03
Move
Handlers maintain a controlled chain of custody from collection through delivery.
- 04
Place
The project closes with placement, installation, storage intake, or a documented release.
Common project conditions
Access changes the handling plan.
Residential and high-rise access
Freight elevators, certificates, loading windows, stairs, floor protection, and placement instructions should be confirmed before collection.
Gallery, auction, and advisor transfers
Who can release the work, object lists, packing status, receiving contacts, and short access windows are coordinated so each handover is clear.
Storage releases and multi-stop routes
Release records, route order, object separation, destination notes, and final placement needs are reviewed as part of the same movement.
Long-distance projects
Distance, overnight routing, climate needs, dedicated versus consolidated service, receiving appointments, and onward installation affect scope. Share the origin, destination and date window; the team confirms routing and availability for each request.
Planning notes
Before requesting transport
What does Aiston need first?
Photos, dimensions, medium, origin, destination, access notes, timing, and current packing status are the most useful starting points.
Can transport include installation?
Yes. Delivery, unpacking, placement, installation, storage intake, viewing preparation, or documentation can be included when identified in the project scope.
Is a date confirmed by submitting a quote?
No. The team reviews scope and availability before confirming scheduling or service details.

Tell us what is moving and what needs to happen next.
Aiston reviews the artwork, locations, access, schedule, and connected services before confirming scope. A quote request is not a booking or an automatic price.
