From museums to private collections, U.S.Art delivers unmatched expertise, global reach, and museum-quality care for artwork in transit.

Trusted Fine Art Handling Since 1954

U.S.Art is the largest fine art handler domestically and throughout the world. As a 3rd generation family business, U.S.Art’s commitment to the safe transportation of artwork is unparalleled.

Founded in 1954 through the E.F. Lank Company, U.S.Art gained recognition for high quality, innovative packing techniques, and crate design. Today, the company ships fine art, antiques, and antiquities across the U.S. and around the globe.

With its own experienced workforce, museum-quality vehicles, and worldwide affiliate network, U.S.Art continues to provide trusted fine art logistics backed by generations of family leadership.

A Long History of Fine Art Logistics

With origins in the E.F. Lank Company, founded in 1954 by Ellsworth Lank, Sr., U.S.Art quickly became known for high standards, innovative packing techniques, and expert crate design. Over the years, the company has grown into an international fine art logistics provider with offices across the United States and trusted affiliates around the world.

Working with leading museums, auction houses, galleries, and collectors, U.S.Art ships fine art, antiques, and antiquities across the U.S. and worldwide. The company stands apart by relying primarily on its own trained fine art handlers and museum-quality fleet, rather than outsourcing work to subcontractors.

The bedrock of the company is its infrastructure “the network” which includes the largest domestic fleet of specially designed art transportation vehicles, the most frequent art dedicated shipping schedule in the U.S., the foremost worldwide affiliate network and the most experienced, highly trained workforce in the industry.

Although the largest firm in the industry, it is at heart a family company with three generations in the business. Consequently decisions are made for the long term and business relationship forged to stand the test of time…U.S.Art is here to stay. This focus on doing what is right for the long term has, not surprisingly, produced a very customer centric culture within the company. It is a standing company policy that it takes one person to say yes to a customer – and three to say no.

Customer Reviews

Your team did an excellent job in every respect in getting my paintings from the ambassador’s residence in Nepal back to south eastern Virginia. They were securely wrapped and arrived in perfect shape. The people who delivered them to the house were on time and gave me a heads up about a half an hour before arriving, which was appreciated. They were polite and delivered them right to my house. Thank you!

I was extremely impressed with how communicative, punctual, friendly, thorough, professional, and precise your entire team was, from start to finish. Your service was the finest I’ve worked with, and I will always request your services going forward.
