About GVART SA

We are an independent Swiss company, dedicated to the preservation and logistics of fine art. Drawing on decades of expertise, GVART SA crafts bespoke solutions that meet the unique expectations of collectors, galleries, museums, and auction houses. At the heart of GVART SA beats a shared passion and a century of combined expertise — hands that safeguard, minds that understand, and hearts that honour every masterpiece.

More than a service, we offer a unique experience where every detail matters. From bespoke transportation to artistic installation and secure storage, we take pride in treating each piece with the respect and precision it deserves. Driven by excellence and guided by our love of art, we preserve and protect every masterpiece throughout its journey, honoring its story at every step.

01

Professionalism and expertise mastering the art of the invisible

So that every masterpiece finds its audience, a dedicated team orchestrates, in silence, a flawless choreography. From meticulous preparations to the finest technical adjustments, every step is crafted, aligned, and executed with such precision that the organization itself fades away, leaving the stage to the beauty of the artwork. Our true craft is the art of the invisible. And this extends to our buildings as well.

Behind their apparent simplicity lie nearly 10,000 square meters of infrastructure, designed to the highest security and environmental standards. These discreet spaces house cutting-edge technologies, seamlessly integrated to guarantee optimal conservation conditions and maximum protection throughout each artwork’s stay. At GVART SA, the art of the invisible is at the heart of our commitment.

A commitment to zomorrow’s world

Art flourishes where the environment thrives. At GVART SA, we believe in preserving both these precious legacies. Mindful of our ecological responsibility, we are proud to offer our clients a complete range of reusable and rental crates, as well as 100% eco-friendly packing materials whenever possible. Every detail matters, and each time we can, we choose sustainable solutions — without ever compromising the quality or safety of the artworks entrusted to us. Our buildings are designed with the same rigor: maximizing energy efficiency through advanced heat recovery systems and uncompromising insulation standards for our storage spaces.

This meticulous approach reflects our concrete commitment to a more responsible future. GVART SA is also actively engaged in the ecological transition through our collaboration with COMETE, the Meyrin cooperative for ecological transition, with the support of the City of Meyrin and the municipal and administrative councils of Geneva. Together, we strive to create innovative, sustainable economic models that rise to today’s environmental and climate challenges.

Sharing and growing knowledge

At GVART SA, we believe that excellence is a living art — one that must be nurtured every day. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on continuous training and knowledge development for all our employees. Each team member has the opportunity to follow a specialised training program every year, tailored to their field. Whether mastering the delicate techniques of artwork handling in the field or overseeing museum collection relocations in the office, every individual is empowered to meet the highest standards of excellence.

Our leadership team is equally committed to learning and teaching. GVArt’s directors proudly contribute to the next generation of experts by teaching at the Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-Restauration in Neuchâtel and actively supporting the Responsible Art Market (RAM) initiative as Advisory Board members. At GVArt, we believe that to care for art is to keep learning, sharing, and growing — today and for the future.
