Transporting artwork
I have a beautiful 2x3 pairing from Anna Valdez that I will be transporting across country next year. I called the art gallery where I bought it but got no help in where I can get it professionally boxed up for travel.
any recommendations?

I use to work for this place called Ship Art in SF and they handle all storage, insurance and transport of art. I would start there and ask for other recs if they don't work out.

Call an art museum and ask who they use to crate/box artwork. They can’t recommend but they might give you a list that you can research. If you are driving the paintings, just box them and place them securely. If movers are involved you might need a crate. This can be expensive.
Have you tried contacting the Packaging Store located on Piedmont Avenue. Or Atthowe Fine Art Services.
I've used Work of Art Services, an art handler in Oakland, to transport large pieces from the framer to our house and to install art. Highly recommended.
