Supply chain delays hindering the safe movement of art worldwide
The war in Ukraine and economic sanctions on Russia, the skyrocketing oil and gas prices worldwide, and the already staggering supply chain delays (triggered during the COVID-19 pandemic, but exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine), are all hindering art from moving freely and quickly across the globe. This is causing challenges for art dealers, collectors, auction houses, and museums – all of whom rely on very controlled and risk managed methods of transportation for high-value artwork.
