In October 2016, the Central Bank of Brazil carried out a highly complex logistical operation to relocate The Discovery of Brazil panel by Candido Portinari\u2014one of the most iconic and valuable artworks in its collection. FINK Mobility was proud to be part of this meticulous operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move became necessary due to the renovation of the Noble Meeting Room on the 8th floor of the Bank\u2019s Headquarters in Bras\u00edlia, where the panel had been on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standing at an impressive 4.92 meters tall, 3.93 meters wide, and weighing around 350 kilograms, the panel required detailed technical planning. The operation involved multiple departments within the Central Bank as well as specialized companies in art handling, transport, and fine art insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project was a joint effort involving the Financial Education Department, the Infrastructure and Asset Management Department, and FINK Mobility\u2014renowned for handling works of significant historical and artistic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the scale and fragility of the piece, specific equipment was used to ensure stability and safety throughout the move. This included scaffolding, reinforced supports, vibration-dampening systems, and humidity and temperature control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our specialized team was present at every stage, from the removal to the repositioning of the artwork.
This was not the first time the panel had been moved. In 2000, it was temporarily relocated during another renovation, when it also underwent cleaning. Over the years, it has been part of conservation initiatives that underline the importance of not only preserving the work itself but also maintaining the technical expertise needed for its care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This operation was more than a simple relocation-it was a demonstration of FINK Mobility continued commitment and ability to carry out high-precision logistics with safety and excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
