How is art shipped?
PicassoMio works very closely with leading worldwide shippers such as DHL, UPS and Federal Express. Sometimes, due to your location or the size and type of art, we might work with other shippers who specialize in the packaging and shipping of such artwork. In the case of paintings, most paintings are shipped stretched (i.e., on a wooden stretcher that goes behind the painting) and are ready to hang. Occasionally, a larger painting may be shipped rolled (i.e., we remove it from the stretcher) due to the requirements of the shipper or to reduce the possibility of any damage. If a painting is shipped rolled, you can simply take it to a qualified local framer and have it stretched on a wooden stretcher. The stretching of a painting is generally an inexpensive process in most major cities. Further, you can contact us at anytime for names and contact information on local framers. Other artworks, like photographs, graphic prints and sculptures are securely packed for shipping, as recommended
