Gallery & Collector Services
Practical logistics support for galleries, collectors, advisors, museums, designers, and estates.
One project, many participants
Art logistics works best when the relationships stay connected.
Galleries and collections rarely need one isolated service. They need movement, storage, installation, viewing, packing, documentation, shipping, access, and release decisions to remain coherent over time.
Aiston supports galleries, collectors, advisors, designers, estates, museums, institutions, auction houses, and family offices with project-specific or recurring coordination. The work is defined by the collection, people, properties, deadlines, and approved scope.

Complex work becomes clearer when the team knows who provides object information, who approves placement or release, who controls site access, who receives updates, and who can change scope.

- Object recordA shared understanding of the works, status, packing, and instructions.
- Site contactsConfirmed access, building, gallery, estate, or recipient information.
- CloseoutClear placement, storage, return, release, and documentation outcomes.
Engagement questions
Project support or recurring partnership
Can Aiston coordinate multiple services under one project?
Yes. Transport, packing, storage, viewing, documentation, installation, domestic movement, and international shipping can be connected when defined in scope.
Does recurring support require collection-management software?
No. The appropriate workflow depends on the client, collection, service frequency, record needs, and authorized users. Aiston can discuss practical options without assuming a technology requirement.
Can advisors or designers coordinate on behalf of a client?
Yes, when authority, contacts, approval boundaries, billing responsibility, and access are clear. Sensitive client and collection information should be shared only through approved channels.
