Let’s say you own a Joseph Havel sculpture, because you like the modernist’s works and you’re a sophisticated collector. Here’s what you don’t do: roll it around your backyard until you find a spot you like for it. No, you do what museums that own his work do: you hire professionals to store, hang, place, or otherwise handle your important pieces. Displays Unlimited in Arlington, founded by a veteran art handler in 1995, has grown from a one-man custom furniture shop to a full museum-service company. But it also works with individuals who need its expertise (or its 60,000 square feet of environmentally controlled storage). And if you have a Linda Ridgway that needs attention, you probably should have these guys handle her, shouldn’t you?
