Going Art was founded in the early 90s by two Colombian artists who purchased a simple truck and began transporting collection pieces for the DeLorenzo Gallery, Vorpal Gallery, and Leo Castelli.  It was a time of great prosperity for the designer furniture collections market, and we quickly began to develop long-term relationships with galleries who worked primarily with designer furniture, such as Donzella, 1950 Gallery, Wooster Gallery, Lehman College Art Gallery, Kings Community College Art Gallery, Bronx Museum, and others.  

We handled masterworks from leading designers, including Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Jean Prouvé, Eugene Knoll, Jean Dunand, Eugène Printz, Jean Royère, Dominique, George Nakashima, and George Nelson.  Many of these exquisite pieces were delivered and installed in collectors’ houses, and at New York City’s architectural landmarks and spaces.

As our reputation grew, we handled high-end art pieces for prominent galleries, collectors, curators and leading interior designers.

In 2001, a watershed moment occurred in the form of a Dominique dining table and the architect firm of William T. Georgis. They needed a red-lacquered, 12-foot-long table carried up 10 flights of narrow stairs, as it didn’t fit into the elevator.  Other art handlers had refused the job, claiming it would be impossible to fit the large table through any of the available apartment doors. But our resourceful team discovered a 2” inch gap in one of the doors that allowed them to carry the table at the precise angle into the apartment.  It was the start of an enduring relationship with the architect, William T. Georgis, which continues to this day.

Today, Going handles and installs work by artists such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michele Basquiat, Richard Prince, CW Twombly, George Condo, Enoc Perez, Picasso, Lichtenstein, Warhol, DeKooning, Demian Hirst and more. We masterfully execute large and small installation projects throughout the country, including in New York, Southampton, Aspen, Malibu, and La Jolla, California.

With over 20 years of experience, Going provides the highest standards of excellence and safety, offer an artisan’s care and sensibility, finds creative solutions for even the toughest of installation challenges, and commits to not only meet our clients’ expectations but exceed them.
