About · History

Moving art since 1986.

Four decades of caring for the works that matter most to Australian artists, collectors and institutions.

Our story

Excellence in every move.

Since 1986, IAS Fine Art Logistics has been a leader in domestic and international art packing, storage and transport.

We know the value of art is never purely financial. There is always a deeper connection that money can't buy, and that belief has shaped every crate we build, every truck we run and every work we hang.

Milestones

How we got here.

  1. 1986

    IAS Fine Art Logistics is founded

    IAS opens its doors with one focus: art deserves specialist care, not general freight. Packing, storage and transport for artists, galleries and collectors.

  2. Growth

    A national network

    Offices open in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra and Perth, linked by a fleet of custom, climate-controlled art vehicles and museum quality storerooms accredited by all major insurance underwriters.

  3. Craft

    T.E.D. Fine Art joins the family

    Packing, crating and installation come in-house through T.E.D. Fine Art, a division of IAS with workshops in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

  4. World

    An international team

    IAS builds a dedicated international team with full import and export expertise, direct tarmac supervision, personal couriers and long-standing ties with fine art companies worldwide.

  5. Projects

    Major projects at scale

    IAS becomes the total logistics partner for Sydney Contemporary, Australia's largest art fair, serving more than 60 galleries, and installs Tracey Emin's “The Distance of Your Heart”: 67 bronze birds across 30 locations in the Sydney CBD.

  6. Today

    Indigenous owned, Supply Nation certified

    Led by Managing Director Kingsley Mundey AM, a proud Indigenous Australian, IAS Logistics is a Supply Nation Certified Supplier, and IAS remains Australia's only truly national fine art logistics company.
