Specialized International Transport and Delicate Handling in Cannes

Monumental sculptures installed on the Croisette in Cannes thanks to the expertise of the Bovis Group

The Bovis Group, through its dedicated agency Bovis Fine Art Côte d’Azur, recently carried out a large-scale operation on the famous Croisette promenade in Cannes. This mission involved transporting several monumental contemporary sculptures from the United States and installing them on site as part of an open-air temporary exhibition.

This project perfectly illustrates our expertise in specialized international transport of artworks and our mastery of fine and secure handling in a complex urban environment.

End-to-end control of international transport

From the United States to the French Riviera, the Bovis Group ensured a fully managed logistics chain, including:

• Organization of specialized air freight
• Airport supervision at both departure and arrival
• Handling of customs formalities upon import
• Escort of the artworks by professional couriers

The sculptures, packed in custom-made crates, were transported under optimal security conditions, in accordance with international museum standards.

Secured storage in our Fine Art facilities

Prior to installation, the artworks were temporarily stored in our secured Côte d’Azur facility, offering museum-grade conditions:

• Climate-controlled zones with humidity monitoring
• 24/7 video surveillance and anti-intrusion systems
• Ground-level storage adapted for large-scale works
• Easy access for handling and delivery logistics

This site is part of our national network of warehouses dedicated to art and heritage, providing our clients with high-quality services close to their needs.

Precision handling on the Croisette

The final installation on the Croisette required the mobilization of our teams specialized in the handling of monumental artworks. Using a mobile mini-crane, our technicians managed:

• On-site unpacking of the sculptures
• Safe lifting and precise positioning
• Technical coordination with city services and curators
• Strict adherence to the installation schedule

This public-space operation, carried out near the waterfront, was executed with the highest level of precision, combining technical expertise, discretion, and utmost respect for the artworks.
