As both are located in Cologne, it is somehow "natural" that BT museum logistics works quite intensively for Museum Ludwig. Exhibition projects in the City of Cologne come to the market through public tenders, and we are proud beeing valued by both the museum and the city authorities as a top reliable vendor for so many projects.
On May 31, 2010 Museum Ludwig in Cologne had entrusted us with the logistics for their ROY LICHTENSTEIN exhibition.
We moved the exhibition from it's first venue in Milano to Cologne, added some new loans for the Cologne venue, and re-exported the show in October 2010.
Lenders comprised of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, the Roy Lichtenstein Estate, MOMA Museum of Modern Art, WWMA Whitney Museum of American Art, SRGM Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and many more.
Others have painted with brushes, with light, with sounds, even with metaphors. Wade Guyton paints with an inkjet printer. That sounds cool and ultra-smooth, but it's actually an unusual and exhausting affair. For such a printer, even an industrial model, is not made for such (ab)use. It is supposed to print paper. If it is fed with canvas, the printhead at times loses its grip; it produces elisions and streaks. The artist must therefore constantly keep watch over the printing process, readjust the canvas and even pull on it to achieve the desired image. read more on the Ludwig website. BT museum logistics provided full service for the entire project.

From 18 August to 4 November 2007 Museum Ludwig presented the first-ever solo exhibition of the French painter Balthus (Balthasar Klossowski, 29.02.1908-18.02.2001) in Germany. On show were around 70 outstanding paintings and drawings from the years 1932 to 1960, on loan from international public and private collections.
The exhibition has been organised by Museum Ludwig ( curator Kaspar König, project manager Nina Guelicher) in collaboration with Dr. Sabine Rewald, a Balthus expert and curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and been made possible by generous loans from international private and public collections, not least the Metropolitan Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute in Chicago, the Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, the Musée National d'art Moderne and the Musée Picasso in Paris.
As nominated Logistics Lead Party, Brandl Transport|Fine Art Service Division had an intensive cooperation with market leading enterprises in the US (Masterpiece International Ltd.), Australia ( GSS) and France ( Crown), and with Van Kralingen as airport agent in Amsterdam.
Thanks to a streamlined information flow and networking between all agentsinvolved masterpieces from intercontinental lenders arrived on only 4 flights from the US and Australia. From the arrival of the aircraft transit times from arrival airport to the loading dock at Museum Ludwig were less than 3 hours from Cologne Airport, 6 from Frankfurt Airport and Amsterdam Airport. We have heard that couriers from intercontinental lending institutions were very appreciable as to the swift transit, as they already had spent many hours én route.
