Transformative resilience in fine-art logistics. Some preliminary insights

In this historical moment of pandemic emergency, there is increasing attention inside the sector of the logistics of art to find new solutions to respond to crisis. Even other changes are transforming the art market, that are not related to the contingency period, but almost they refer to the progressive evolution that over time has led to a new definition of the conception of cultural value. Great changes may become an opportunity to progress and “bounce forward” thorough a combination of adaptative and transformative resilient initiatives. Along these considerations, since logistics service providers working in fine-art sector are increasing affirming a central role in the cultural system, they may concretely contribute in the direction of a transformative capacity, serving complete and composited-specialized logistics services, also aggregating them in innovative solutions, meeting the new emerging needs. In particular, integrated logistics providers may offer composite and complete solutions both by drawing on internal and external resources/knowledge of the company. Empirical evidence in this direction comes from the analysed example of triangulated partnership for art services.
