Artworks
A work of art can be defined as an object that was created as a result of the creative genius, talent, inspiration, and invested work, effort of an artist. The artist strives to express thoughts and emotions through artwork. And then, he transfers all his feelings to the canvas. This is precisely why it’s said that every painting has its own story. Also, what is essential to know is that every work has a particular aesthetic, meaningful, emotional, social, and historical value.
To choose a safe way to move your artwork more easily, you need to know what type it belongs to, because a lot can depend on that. Artwork can be made of different materials, it can be of different sizes, as well as different weights. This is good to take into account when moving it. Some types of artwork are fine art, drawings, graphics, paintings, photographs, and sculptures. But buildings that can’t be moved can also be assigned to this group. Also, a group of artworks includes music. But we will talk about music another time.

How to prepare your artwork for the move?
Before you start preparing, you need to get all the necessary moving and packing supplies. Only when you have done that can you start preparing artwork for moving. What you need to do in that process is to clean it of dust, as well as to wrap your artwork in soft foil or bubble wrap. Cover with tape, and after that, you can move on to the packages. Also, for pictures and portraits, we recommend using cotton fabrics instead of foil due to condensation. But also because the moisture that is created can damage the color of your picture.
Which packaging is the most reliable for moving artwork?
The choice of packaging plays a major role in your move, regardless of whether you want to pack artwork or some other things. When it comes to artwork, depending on the type and size, the choice of packaging will also depend. For example, statues and sculptures should be large cardboard boxes, while for paintings, you can use flat cardboard boxes.
For packing artwork, you will need:
- Cardboard boxes of different sizes
- Bubble wrap
- Soft foil
- Packing paper
- Rope
- Adhesive tape
- Cotton covers
Also, keep in mind that experienced movers in West Hollywood can give you a lot of advice about choosing the right and adequate packaging for packing artwork. And also, they can help you with packing. Don’t be shy to ask them for help!
How to pack artwork?
The packing process also plays a major role in moving, regardless of whether it’s furniture, glass objects, artwork, or some other things. Packing must always be done correctly. So, when you finish preparing, move on to packing. Pack the pictures in narrow boxes, and wrap them beforehand in paper or cotton cover. At the same time, you can wrap some larger and more bulky items in bubble wrap and pack them in boxes that you will fill with newspaper to prevent the items from “walking” during transport. If you have any difficulties during packing, our North Hollywood movers are at your service. Just call them!
