An apparatus for use in holding artwork during transportation or storage, comprising: a substantially flat mounting panel provided with a plurality of retention members; and at least one clamp, configured to be moveable between an unengaged state, in which artwork can be removed from the apparatus, and an engaged state, in which the clamp secures the artwork to the apparatus; wherein the clamp comprises a base, configured to be secured to the mounting panel, and a gripping section; and when artwork is secured to the apparatus, a first side of the artwork is supported on the mounting panel and the gripping section of the clamp presses on a second side of the artwork, opposite to the first side of the artwork.

Apparatus for holding artwork

Apparatus for use in holding an artwork during transportation and storage, the artwork comprising or being mounted within a frame with a plurality of fastening devices secured to the frame, each fastening device having an aperture in a part which protrudes from a side of the frame, the apparatus comprising a substantially flat mounting panel provided with a plurality of retention members; and a plurality of securing devices for securing the fastening devices to the mounting panel, each of the securing devices comprising an engagement part for engaging the fastening device and a locking part which is rotatable about an axis from a first angular position in which it can be located adjacent a respective retention member and a second angular position in which it engages with a respective retention member, whereby each securing device can be used to secure a respective fastening device to the mounting panel by aligning the aperture in the fastening device relative to a retention member of the mounting panel, inserting the locking part through the aperture in the fastening device to a position adjacent a retention member so that the engagement part of the securing device engages a surface of the fastening device about the aperture therein, and rotating the locking part from the first angular position to the second angular position so the locking part engages with and is retained by said retention member.

Apparatus for holding an artwork

A container for housing an artwork during transportation or storage, the container comprising four side parts and four corner parts for connecting the side parts to form a substantially rectangular frame; a substantially rectangular lid part and a substantially rectangular mounting panel, each of the side parts having a first recess extending along its length for receiving a respective edge of the lid part and a second recess extending along its length for receiving a respective edge of the mounting panel; a first resilient member for locating around the perimeter of the lid part between the lid part and the substantially rectangular frame; a second resilient member for locating around the perimeter of the mounting panel between the mounting panel and the substantially rectangular frame so as to act as a shock absorber between the mounting panel and the substantially rectangular frame; and securing means for securing the lid part in a closed position relative to the substantially rectangular frame.
