Fine Art Logistics

Specialist fine art logistics for galleries, auction houses, and private collectors.

Documented before a hand touches it.

Yugo provides specialist fine art logistics and white glove art handling for galleries, auction houses, collectors, designers, and private clients across Toronto and the GTA. From collection and condition documentation to protective packing, transport, placement, and return, each movement is planned around the work and its handling requirements.

THE YUGO STANDARD

Every piece begins with a plan.

Artwork can differ enormously in construction, scale, surface, fragility, value, and installation requirements. Yugo establishes how each piece will be documented, protected, handled, transported, and placed before movement begins.

Protective packing & custom crating

Protective packing throughout, with crates built to the dimensions of the piece.

Condition documentation

Condition recorded before handling begins, so existing damage is noted first.

$5M general liability, COI provided

$5 million commercial general liability, with a Certificate of Insurance on request.

Specialty handling

Packing, equipment and crew planned around the piece, not standard contents.

Real-time live tracking

Follow every move and delivery in real time, from origin to destination.

Receiving & consolidation

Pieces received, documented and held, then delivered together.

Placement & installation support

Pieces placed to plan, with installers and specialists scheduled around our work.

Specialist services

Beyond the move.

Specialist services for the pieces, places and projects that need more.

I. CUSTOM CRATING

Built around the piece, not the box. Our crating team designs and builds custom wooden crates for art, sculpture and high-value furniture, with a specialist millwork partner on larger builds.

II. WHITE GLOVE PACKING

Full professional packing with archival-grade materials, by crew trained for fragile and high-value items. Part of a full-scope move, or booked as a standalone service.

III. WAREHOUSING

Short-term staging or long-term storage for high-value items in Toronto. Every piece is catalogued, condition-documented and held in controlled conditions from arrival to departure.

IV. REVERSE LOGISTICS

Deinstallation, removal and return logistics to the standard of the original placement. Artwork, furniture and exhibition pieces are documented and moved with equal care.

V. ART HANDLING & INSTALLATION

Specialist handling for paintings, sculpture and works on paper. Custom crating, climate-aware transport and on-site placement, by crew who care how a piece moves.

I have worked with Yugo for the last five years. Their service has been outstanding, and my clients have been very pleased. Every delivery is well organized, and the crew is always professional.

Rhona Slomovic

Principal Designer, RGS

Our clients expect white glove service. Yugo and his team have never disappointed. They once delivered a rug for me to Montreal during a snowstorm to meet our deadline.

Antonio Hellman

Founder and Creative Director, Studio 321B

They handled our office move over the weekend, and the entire experience was completely seamless from start to finish. We were downsizing to half our original footprint, and the team took our floor plan and assembled all of our office furniture precisely where it needed to go. That level of flexibility and customer care is almost impossible to find these days.

Julie N.

Office Manager, Ataccama

We have worked with Yugo a handful of times now for various trade events and corporate parties. The booking team is always very organized and the team is always on time, friendly and careful with our belongings.

Samantha Andrews

National Business Development Manager, Caesarstone

As a global network equipment manufacturer, our supply chain involves high-value, mission-critical assets ranging from sensitive satellite payloads and delicate microwave transceivers to complex fiber-optic infrastructure and custom server racks. … Yugo delivers on all fronts with true white-glove service.
