Artverb

This past week, artverb* had the pleasure of hosting Geoffrey Pugen in our Toronto Viewing Room. He needed a space to set up and document a new exciting project called “Dark Crystal”.

The pictures below show the installation in progress.

Contact artverb* if you have a complicated artwork that needs to be installed for documentation. Our 750 sqft Viewing Room located in downtown Toronto is perfect.

We love Cottage country this time of the year!

Contact us for Muskoka schedules and pricing. Art packing, transportation and installations are our specialty!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
at artverb* we have always been green.

To be more green and less wasteful we use ROKBOX reusable crates.

What’s air-ride?

artverb* believes that your irreplaceable art and antiques should travel on soft pillows -not hard metal. That’s why our trucks are equipped with plush air-ride suspension.

From glass Tiffany lamps to 1000 year antiques, we choose air-ride because it’s the best option for transporting shock and vibration sensitive art and artifacts.

Watch out for that giant Brooklyn pothole! -don’t worry your art is safe with us.

All of the artverb* vehicles have dedicated heating and cooling systems that ensure reliable and safe transport of your precious cargo.

Our highly trained technicians can tackle almost any project!This week it was a six person team moving a 600 lb crate up a flight of stairs before the installation. This is why we drive lift-gate equipped trucks and have all the safety measures in place to make sure everything goes smoothly.

in 2023 artverb* proudly started a partnership with Art Dealers Association of Canada.

ADAC members can now contact us for discounted rates on most of our services.

CRASH! BANG! BOOM!

Artverb Fine art transportation and installation services.

In Canada, it can be COLD, that’s why we try extra hard at keeping your artwork a perfect temperature with minimal fluctuations when being handled in the winter months.

artverb* likes to use ROKBOX crates in the winter because they are 3 x better than a regular wood crate at holding its internal temperature.

Because a ROKBOX is made of air-filled materials (hollow beams & foam-filled panels) it has inherent insulation properties far better than a T-Frame or basic crate made from wood.

Ask us how we can offer superior temperature control by using a ROKBOX on your next job

We are returning to the Windy City in April for EXPO CHICAGO
🇨🇦🇺🇸

Contact us for more details.

It’s a very cold day to move art!
Fortunately, our reliable HINO trucks started and the re**ers are pre-heating the cargo area

-22 c is way too cold to move Art unless the vehicle has a proper re**er and ESPAR systems heating the trucks cargo areas.

Hours before the green team puts art in the truck we preheat the cargo boxes to assure it’s ready! We do everything we can to keep the art as safe as possible when operating in this cold climate.
Generally we recommend only moving crated work when it’s this cold, and limiting any exposure outside!
❄️🇨🇦🚛💪🥶

Last week the Green Team did our 200th consolidated Toronto~NYC Art shuttle.
🇨🇦🇺🇸💎

We have come a long way since we started this little route in 2012. Our bi-weekly shuttle is now the best in the business! Temperature controlled, air-ride, high security, 3 man teams.

Most of all, our shuttles are RELIABLE. In all our years doing this, we have never cancelled a trip! Through snow storms, heatwaves, breakdowns and a pandemic, we kept on truckin’ because we value everyone’s shipment, no matter how small.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OUR CLIENTS OVER THE YEARS FOR TRUSTING US WITH YOUR PRECIOUS CARGO!

Merry Christmas!
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday, from the green team

Introducing our newest green team employees:
SABRINA, “Coordinator ”
&
PIPPIN, “the office Wonder Dog”

Introducing the limited edition artverb* “Steven” shirt.

This is the start of some unique collaborations designed by an artverb* employee + Todd from bitmappress.

The New York / Baseball themed “Steven” shirt is Steven Welicsko’s special design.

Working with artverb* since about 2016 as an important truck driver and art handler, he is a trusted driver for all the most difficult driving tasks. He is a regular in New York City, Montréal, Miami and many of the random places in between.

The “Steven” shirt embodies several of the things that Steven loves most. His love for Baseball runs deep, and the Milwaukee Brewers are his favourite team. But New York City is where Steven loves to be most and is in his element when driving a lime green truck there.

This is the first of many limited edition employee designed shirts. If you want one, ask us for a freebie before they run out!

None of this would be possible without Todd from bitmappress! His artistic direction and ex*****on has made this fun project even more fun-ner!

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s big news! We are excited about making the planet a little greener ! 🌎 📦
