What Boxart does

Boxart is a Brooklyn, New York-based fine art services company founded in 1994 that provides specialized packing, crating, transportation, storage, project management, and gallery installation services to museums, galleries, trusts, private collectors, artists, conservation studios, architecture studios, archives, and auction houses. The company operates from a single facility at 79 N. 5th St. in Brooklyn, which includes a workshop, three on-site storage facilities (two climate-controlled units maintaining 70°F and 50% relative humidity plus a vault with wet pipe fire suppression and remote monitoring), 4,000+ sq. ft. of dedicated warehouse space, three loading docks, and a 14' x 30' photo wall. Its competitive technical differentiators include custom-built crating with integrated packing solutions, on-site TSA Certified Cargo Screening capability, and a fleet of TSA-certified drivers and art handlers operating within a 150-mile NYC Metro radius. The company maintains active industry memberships with ARCS, AAM, AIC, and the Art Services Worker Safety Coalition, and was featured in connection with the Museum of Art and Design's 2014 "NYC Makers: The MAD Biennial" exhibition.

Boxart's business model is a project-based professional services model: each engagement is scoped and quoted individually by project managers based on artwork requirements, travel method, insurance restrictions, materials, conservation needs, and handling details. Revenue is generated across five integrated service lines — Crating & Packing, Transport, Storage & Warehouse Services, Project Management, and Gallery Services — with services sold directly to institutional and private clients through industry reputation, association memberships, and direct phone/email outreach. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with no public pricing, no published contract structures, and no disclosed recurring revenue mechanics. Distribution is direct: Boxart's own personnel deliver on-site crating, packing, transport, and installation services within the 150-mile radius, with international shipments coordinated externally.

In June 2026, Boxart entered a strategic partnership with Masterpiece International and Maxwell Street Capital Partners to form Masterpiece Group, a vertically integrated fine art logistics platform combining Masterpiece International's international transportation capabilities with Boxart's local crating, installation, storage, and delivery services. The combined entity operates across New York and Florida as an independent fine art logistics specialist, marking Boxart's first significant geographic expansion beyond the NYC Metro area. The partnership is structured to preserve Boxart's operational identity while introducing institutional capital and a multi-state platform footprint.
