Corporate Curation: Coordinating a 220 Artwork Installation in Marylebone
Client: Rachel Doner Turrin
Project Type: Artwork Installation
Spaces: Entrance, reception, meeting rooms.
Completion: January 2026
In central London, the atmosphere of an office is often defined by its walls. Gilbert Art Services (GAS) was recently commissioned to manage a comprehensive art handling project for a high-profile corporate workspace, involving the storage, delivery and installation of over 100 artworks.
When a firm scales up or moves office location, the art collection is often the most delicate part of the logistics chain. This project required a seamless "end-to-end" solution, showing that GAS is not just an installation team, we are a full-service fine art partner.
Phase 1: Secure Transportation & Fine Art Storage
For this Marylebone art installation, the project began before any work was hung. The collection, consisting of valuable contemporary prints and large-scale canvases, required temporary relocation while the office fit-out was completed.
Our integrated logistics service provided:
Professional Collection: Using our specialised vehicle, our technicians handled the packing and transit of the 220 pieces from their original site.
Secure Storage: We held the collection in our secure, monitored storage facilities, ensuring the artworks remained in a stable environment, protected from dust and construction debris.
Inventory Management: Every piece was logged and condition-checked upon arrival, ensuring complete peace of mind for the client.
Phase 2: Systematic Installation at Scale
Once the Marylebone office was ready, our team coordinated the delivery and installation – in a corporate environment with over 200 pieces, consistency and structural safety are the two highest priorities.
Working across multiple floors, meeting rooms, and high-traffic reception areas, we implemented a methodical installation strategy:
Art Rail Systems: Modern Marylebone offices often feature glass partitions and high-spec acoustic walls. We utilised rail hanging systems designed for these surfaces to ensure a permanent, safe hold without damaging the walls.
Security Hardware: To protect the client’s investment in a public-facing workspace, we used discreet security fixings that prevent accidental knocks or unauthorised removal.
Visual Alignment: We ensured that gallery walls in the boardrooms and linear displays in the corridors were laser-leveled to the millimeter, reflecting the professional standards of the firm itself.
