I can’t find a manufacturer name on this box! Anyone have a source for boxes like this?

In the pictures below, you’ll notice white straps were used to bind the wrapped work to the cardboard holder. I […]

Nothing groundbreaking to see here, but sometimes simplicity can be revelatory. We wanted to make this rolling table by the artist Barbara Spring a little *less* rolling. Some monofilament and pan head screws and […]

What do all of you think?  Originally we went with things painted all the same, through and through.  I think it was both an aesthetic decision as well as pragmatic. We had $750,000 worth of case work done all a […]

This was a very promising product. Was.   MMMOOOORORRREEE here…

Put your comments below if you have tried this or want to second the vote for 3M to package this into something usable for all of us.  I h […]

This cable system can be used in any type of museum.  It’s elegant and strong.  Next time I might go for a solid rod style system, which Arakawa may indeed have, as the cable can sway a bit.  Probably want to av […]

We use spray adhesive to bond 60 lb. or 80 lb. paper to 4 ply mat board.  We had used 3M’s super 77 for a long time, but wanted to branch out for cost reason, 3M can cost upwards of 3 times the amount of […]

Here’s a very quick post; something to reflect on, something to riff on.  I may or may not do it the same way in the future, but I adopted this mount.  Give it a look.  Send us yours.  Oh, by the way, these are […]

Hello Tradefolk,

Here’s a story about a product that I love very much, but it can be fussy. I’ll do a full article about the love I have for this material later, but for now know that I can print 24″ wide […]

Here are a few option for installing labels on pedestals.  It can be difficult to read a label when there is a lot of extended text.  So we put them on a plexiglass slant.  In one case the gallery gets more be […]

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to our first review, the New York City Freelance Art Handlers Calendar for 2015. Was there a calendar for 2014? Will there be a 2016?? I’m not sure, but what I do know is that this is a […]

Hi Everyone,

No, I don’t work for Ikea, but hey do donate a certain amount to our education programs every year.  I wanted to take a moment to show how nice these work in an art museum as well as add a word of […]

Hello Again, I’ve brought you some pictures of a simple mount for hanging our kimonos. It’s a 2″ round, 53″ long piece of clear plexiglass. On either end you see a single small hole drill 2″ in from the end of the […]

As you can see from the pictures below, we were faced with a difficult installation. This piece is meant to float up a bit on one of its legs and this is what makes it very graceful, but what about defending a […]

When we opened the building all pedestals had the body color as its baseboard color.  We’ve been moving away from this for both aesthetic and practical purposes.  Using a semi-gloss on the baseboard ware better a […]
