This year Frieze London and Frieze Masters drew an estimated 90,000 visitors from 108 countries. Crozier has provided art logistics services to galleries and collectors since this prestigious fair launched in 2003, and is one of only two shippers with operational office space onsite. Art fair season is always a busy time, but this year we were able to fully utilize Crozier’s new climate and temperature controlled hub in Tower Bridge, located just 30 minutes from Regent’s Park. The Tower Bridge facility has two of the largest art logistics loading docks in the UK, making it easier and quicker to safely pack and load artworks to and from the fair.
“This Frieze was the smoothest yet. Dedicated fair teams, plus access to multiple warehouses nearby, made it easier to manage concurrent fairs and prep for Art Basel Paris. We also utilized enhanced technology for more efficient inventory tracking. It helps massively having an office onsite and teams on the ground to work with clients face-to-face.”Will Tilzey, Head of Art Fairs, Crozier UK
Lots of planning goes into preparing for fairs like Frieze, but there are always last minute requests. Crozier’s art handling and project management teams are used to working in an agile manner, and having ‘boots on the ground’ at the fairs means clients are supported in real time and around the clock. Our Art Technicians know the fairs intimately and years of experience helps them stay calm under pressure.
“I’m incredibly proud of the teams’ ability to execute on multiple fairs simultaneously, from Frieze London and Frieze Masters to Art Basel Paris, while continuing to manage complex projects beyond the fair circuit. We’ve received lots of positive feedback from clients, many of whom reported strong sales this year.”Lotta Lindquist-Brosjo, Managing Director, Europe & Asia
Galleries and artists from all over the world exhibit at fairs like Frieze. Crozier’s global footprint across Europe, North America and Asia means we regularly collaborate with colleagues from different regions on International shipping, and our customs subject matter experts are on hand to ensure seamless cross-border transactions. Art fairs bring the art world together, and this connectivity is one of the reasons we love being so active on the circuit.
