Shipping & Delivery

Each work is prepared, documented, and packed with the same level of care given to its production. All orders are handled individually to ensure safe transit and archival protection.

Editioned works are typically completed and released for shipment within 2–4 weeks. You will receive a tracking notification directly from the carrier once the work has entered transit.

Should production or shipping conditions require additional time, the gallery will contact you promptly.

  • Oversized works may be shipped in museum-grade tubes or custom-built containers
