  4. ART MUMBAI installation

    Positioning and hanging at your booth, with your gallery's representatives.

  5. Fairground supervision

    Gallery-specific supervisors on site, ready for moves and repositioning.

  6. Condition reports and video

    Photographic records and project videography at each stage.

  7. Climate-controlled storage

    Secure holding between arrival, the fair, sale and collection.

  8. Express delivery of sold works

    Sold pieces collected and delivered during the fair.
