At Convelio, we’re building the infrastructure that powers global art logistics, using AI and smart digital systems to reduce cost, complexity, and delays in shipping, storing, and managing high-value artworks.
This month, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Carpenters Workshop Gallery (CWG), one of the world’s leading galleries for contemporary functional art and historic collectible design. With flagship locations in Paris, London, New York, and Los Angeles, the gallery represents artists whose work pushes both material innovation and conceptual boundaries. Their global growth has been ambitious - and so has the complexity of moving, storing and managing their artworks.
This partnership is a step forward for both of us. It reflects a broader shift beginning to take hold across the art market: even in a time of uncertainty, the need for better systems is only growing. Technology and AI are not just supporting operations, but gradually reshaping how institutions move, manage, and scale.
The art world has mastered aesthetics and experience. But behind the canvas, the infrastructure tells a different story. Many galleries and institutions still rely on outdated processes: manual paperwork, patchy data systems, slow communications. It’s a friction-heavy model that discourages new buyers, slows down international expansion, and limits market liquidity.
At Convelio, we believe the real opportunity for AI in the art world lies not in replacing art and artists, but in addressing operational inefficiencies. That’s why we’re putting AI and cutting edge technology to work where it matters most: behind the scenes, powering leaner, faster, and more transparent logistics. From accelerating quotes in Shipping, to increasing visibility in Storage, to reducing manual data entry in Inventory, AI is enhancing every layer of our service.
We’ve launched a state-of-the-art storage facility in Paris, now serving Carpenters Workshop Gallery as their key continental European base, and available to a broad range of art professionals. Together with our London facility, it forms part of Convelio’s growing network of smart storage hubs. Powered by Convelio’s Tier 1 Warehouse Management System (WMS) and fully integrated with our art Inventory Management Software (IMS) and AI-driven tools, our integrated storage solutions bridge physical logistics excellence with a smart digital infrastructure.
For a gallery handling complex, large-scale works, this means fewer bottlenecks and more room to scale.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
These tools are already live, already driving impact, and helping Carpenters Workshop Gallery free up time, reduce friction, and reinvest in what they do best: producing and curating exceptional work. Behind every workflow, every order, stands expert support from our logistics, warehouse, and product teams - ensuring precision and care every step of the way.
Whether you manage 10 or 100 shipments a week, the same principles apply: streamlined logistics, centralized data, and fewer hours lost to admin.
Our storage and logistics solutions are designed to support galleries of all sizes, with flexible integration and dedicated onboarding support.
AI and technology should start where the real problems are - the everyday frustrations that echo through registrar offices and coffee breaks alike. In practical terms, that means:
The partnership that we’ve built with Carpenters Workshop Gallery is a model for what’s possible when art institutions embrace smart, adaptive infrastructure. We’re honored by their trust and excited to be part of their global journey.
This is only the beginning. At Convelio, we’re committed to helping galleries, auction houses, museums, and collectors operate with the kind of digital fluency today’s world demands. That’s how we grow the market. That’s how we make art more accessible. And that’s how we make the entire ecosystem stronger.
