- When priceless works of art need to move from one place to another, it requires more than a a set of hands and a truck. Guardian Fine Art Services is at the forefront of handling, moving and storing these most precious of objects. And when the Pabst Mansion on Milwaukee, a historic landmark museum requires assistance its Guardian they call.
In this episode we travel with Guardian Fine Art Service to the Pabst Mansion to collect and store a painting and we get an unprecedented look inside a secure art vault.

Once again, a spot on video. I can see PBS picking this series up and showing it nationally. Great learning tool for those who what to know.
It's really nothing more than advertisement for all these companies he visits.
@@gregpenismith1248hopefully they are paying for the content to help keep this channel going and growing. I wouldn’t expect an established company to blur out their name if they are participating if they aren’t paying either since filming would take away from production.
@@gregpenismith1248 sure, i guess you can look at it that way but it is still giving us a look at the logistics behind the conservator, all of the moving parts that you dont get to see.
I came here to say the same thing. This series belongs on PBS. Excellent.
It's not that he mentions their names, it's how he needlessly praises them and the *quality of work. This entire series is little more than viral marketing.
This has got to be the most comprehensive series on what you do, how and why. The places you go, the people you bring to us and their stories are simple incredible. Really opening my eyes to something I never even thought of much less could imagine how they would do it. Thank you for being so generous and sharing. Can't wait for the next one and I would love to see the conservation of those pieces.
You expressed it so much better than I ever could. These "in the Shadow" documentaries are fascinating!
@@silvialittlewolf You're too kind. Thank you.
I love this series so much. I saw you mention on Patreon that it's not getting the views you need to be sustainable, which is really too bad, but just wanted to say that I love it and appreciate you for making it. Fingers crossed that it keeps going. Thanks Julian.
We’ll see… it’s hard to make something with passion and integrity, sensitivity and nuance (which I hope we did 🤞) when the popular media is of people blowing up cars etc… and capture enough attention that it doesn’t sink the creators.
@@BaumgartnerRestoration One of the things that fascinates me about this vid's comments is the clamor for wider exposure (i.e. PBS). I do wonder these days if PBS really *is* wider exposure than your channel here, but it does suggest the question of other Big Name streaming platforms as a potential option. Your production quality certainly stands up (and stands out for the RUclips environment), and of course speaks to the question of economic sustainability. I hesitate to suggest that putting out something less than your usual high standard might be a sweeter spot for the RUclips-only environment, but those kind questions are hard to tease out the answers for when an undertaking is as much or more a labor of love as a labor for a purely pecuniary return. Anyhow, thanks for this and all of these; you make my corner of the world a better place with them.
This is such a great series. I commented before as "the artists behind the artist." I throw all the money I don't have at you.
@@BaumgartnerRestoration Julian, I know it is hard and expensive making a series like this one, and maybe not getting the views you hoped for is a bummer, but, I think this is necessary, essential. Last episode I was just thinking how most TV content went to sh*t and content like yours is not available anymore widespread and it was a revelation to me how RUclips has turned into the kind of stuff I miss from television that used to educate and scratch an itch of curiosity and knowledge. The channels that used to do this are.almost extinct and you doing this incredible series is totally worth it to me and many people.
It really is a gem, really well done and unbelievably human at its core and it is appreciated.
I know money spent not coming back as one hoped is not replaced with words and compliments, but I know you know how this type of content is to be conserved (pun intended) and may not have the immediate reception it should rightfully get, but it is important for it to exist and you should feel proud of this amazing series. Congratulations from Colombia Julián, really, from the bottom of my heart, this is important and necessary
I love this series! I think your next field trip should be to Japan so we can learn how they make washi- kozo!
That’s an incredible idea!
I’d love for him to explore block printing in Japan. The arts and crafts movement started there.
As a museum worker I totally second your praise that the art handlers and packers are truly the unsung heroes of the art world. Nothing we do would happen without them and they are often incredibly humble about the work they do. All these things: art handling, transportation, pickups, and packing are not easy but the fact they make it look so effortless speaks volumes to their abilities.
These are also those vital jobs that students never think of when getting an art degree! I'm a college art teacher and I'm always trying to tell my students that there ARE jobs in the arts! (Just not very many in our small town area). I really appreciate this window into what it takes to make th heart world hum!
Now that you have done this video, I hope that we get to see you conserving these paintings.
Yet another example of don’t look down on “the delivery guys” when both of these guys have advanced degrees and know their stuff. What an incredible operation from front to back. Love this series!
Tearing down beautiful old mansions seems to have never gone out of fashion.
The US probably has enough parking lots now.
One could think that the cultural heritage that the US wants to leave behind from its 60s to nowadays is a bunch of parking lots. I was to comment about this as well. It is just unreal.
Question is; is it haunted???
@@Quickened1 The parking lot?
@@macdieter23558. 😂😂😂
I love how Julian looked like a little kid in the back of the truck 😂 so cute
Are we there yet!!? (ad infinitum)
B you are KILLING it with this Behind the Canvas series.
C'mon Julian... tell us the thuth, you sold the series to the BBC right. This is worth millions. Well done. (shoutout to Katie's, she's soo cute. Great outfit)
Fascinating. This really needs to be on PBS! I also love that these aren't just companies and services that you picked out of thin air, but that they are directly associated with the work you do!
Eh. This way Julien and his team have full control over what they make and when, which wouldn’t happen under a corporate model.
To me this is fascinating. Many people just walk into a museum and appreciate a painting not knowing its history and life cycle. It is people like you and these folks who preserve that history and educate us about that life cycle. Paintings can be wonderful. But people like you and these folks keep art alive.
As somone who goes to musea a lot, particularly to see temporary exhibitions, it is very interesting to see how they might be transported here. There is also a kind of comfort i feel in not being allowed to see some of the things at the storage facillity, being more sure that artworks wont be stolen
Julien, You should be so proud of this series! You have done a great job and I'm really enjoying it!
The behind the canvas series has been amazing so far, great work!
Unfortunately, my hometown has lost most of our incredible old buildings and houses turned into parking lots. I am glad to see that beautiful mantion was sparred the same fate. If possible, I believe old buildings should be preserved.
The piano painting made me snort-laugh! Probably very much like the sound the woman in the painting was making, given her expression. How fun!
Went to the Frans Hals exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam a few days ago. Some of the paintings came from abroad. I assume these paintings were packed in a similar way before being shipped to Amsterdam. Thanks for a behind-the-scenes look we normally never get to see. Great series 👍❤
How is it that all Behind The Canvas videos are exactly 22:17 min long? That is incredible! Pure attention to the detail.
Because they're advertisements.
Is it maybe edited for network TV? 8 minutes of ads per half hour is standard nowadays.
The right length for American TV.
I’ve worked with a similar organization in Baltimore! They’ve been essential in moving the art collection out of our building for renovation
For April Fools this year, a really fun idea could be for Julian to do a behind the canvas on Baumgartner Restoration where he plays both roles and effectively has a conversation interviewing himself.
EDIT: April 1st is on a monday this year so it also works with the upload schedule too!
I’m a Milwaukee native and have been a fan of your channel for a while now. I’m going to have to revisit the mansion again soon to see the art after the restorations!
I love Katie's dress! Her whole look is so cute.
Unrelated but Katie's dress is gorgeous 😍 obsessed w that fabric
19:07 That piano is a Bösendorfer! _Sehr gut, Herr Kapitän Pabst!_ I approve. (Yes, I find art restoration fascinating but music is my first love.)
"Did you guys know these are hops?" I laughed so hard at that for some reason.
I'm quite enjoying this series. I know nothing about art (other than some looks awesome to me) but this has given quite the insight into some cool aspects of it I'd never have thought about.
well, you already know a bit now!
Ah, there's at least one more form of delivering art. Free labor! As in college students who took museumology class trying to earn free credits, where the teacher attached leg chains to us and marched us halfway across state to deliver artwork to a sister university's museum.
Best youtube channel ever!
This series is phenomenal, the algorithm hasn’t been kind enough to it! I have to search it out.
It's just so satisfying to see someone doing their job incredibly thoroughly: the systematic organisation and control of all aspects of transport and storage at Guardian are really pleasing and impressive!
Not me squeaking and yelling like a little girl about this episode. What a treat. In my head i have a whole series about art handlers and conversators... that would so amazing to watch. netflix, your move.
Another behind the canvas! Always a great way to start my morning!
Sweet, I'm about to get cultured.🧐🍷 oh wait, Pabst Mansion? 🍺
I am loving this series! Are we going to see you restore those 2 pieces?
I seriously want to go to Milwaukee now just to see that spectacular house! I could spend days just looking at the gorgeous woodwork! It's absolutely flaggergasting that it was accomplished in just 2 years! 🤯
Being from Boston, I also got a kick out of the Red Sox hat. 😂
Loved this video!! From Milwaukee and have been to the Pabst! Thank God YOUR doing the restorations!!❤
I wait for every single episode with a smile and I can't express how much I enjoy it! Thank you Julian. You are a hero. :)
I just got caught up with this series. Keep them coming
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Loved this! Kudos to everyone "behind the scenes/canvas"!
Damn that is the Mistress of Art! Very impressive vid. I am on my knees in worship.
I’d always wondered how art was protected during transportation. Interesting segment.
Well done, what a beautiful old mansion and history. each job interesting and connected in some way.
These really have the feel of a well-beloved PBS special. Once again, I have learned and gained a new appreciation for an aspect of the art world that I never even realized was there. The Pabst mansion was a beautiful sight and I loved that we got to see it! Though the conversation with the guys in the truck was the real hidden gem of this episode!
I love this series! I found your channel about a month ago and have watched every single episode. I am fascinated with all of it! Thank you, Julian, for your efforts and thoroughness with each and every video you have released here. The educational value is enormous and I simply enjoy every single video! The arts are so vital to the human experience, and you are bringing such wonderful information right into our homes! Kudos!
Thank you for this lovely series. It is informative, entertaining and well crafted. 😊
This video is yet more proof of the beauty of this series, learning what goes on behind the scenes to preserve art, culture, and history. Also, the Pabst Mansion is an incredibly beautiful place, and it is great that the mansion has been preserved.
What a beautiful building.
I hope you post the work you will do on these paintings.....loving this series, beautifully done
Fabulous video. More like a part of a documentary. I am certainly learning and enjoying these videos. Brilliant idea to educate the public with this information. Thank you. Carol from California
This is so informative!!! It’s giving us a view beyond what most of us (not in the industry) ever get to see and understand!!!
The next time I go to an art gallery, I’ll appreciate all the art even more thanks to this series!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE this series! Interesting stories on people making the art world go around! I dont think this is advertising for companies. I think Julian has selected some of the best folks he has worked with and is showcasing their talents and contributions. Why wouldn't he praise and highlight their merits? I see how much work, dedication, and appreciation that was put in these episodes. All for us to enjoy. Much appreciated...and here's hoping for more of these with our support!
I have an opportunity to go to Chicago with a couple guys who restore stained glass windows to replace a window they are almost finished putting back together, it's a wild process with some really difficult work involved. I'm very excited
I love where your videos are going. You are taking us into a world we'd probably never see. This is such a joy to watch and learn. Thank you.
Well done, Julian!
Thank you for this! As an art educator I'm so sick of hearing "my parents won't let me get an art degree" from my students. Here are no fewer than five jobs in the arts all requiring folks with the skills and knowledge to handle and preserve beautiful works of art. Nobody ever thinks about these vital jobs that keep the art world humming along. Thank you for being one of those vital people and for making this all so accessible!
the hops finial things were a nice touch ☺
Well done! Terrific episode
HA! I spotted the trailer for this series. I've been there a couple times, the last time was last year. I was talking to one of the volunteers in the dinning room about the artwork, I mentioned watching this channel. I mentioned watching this channel, asked the woman if they were going to get the paintings restored, if not actually suggested it. She said they were working on it.
Love this series!
You took the words out of my mouth 😊
Excellent once again
My favorite Behind the Scenes video so far. I've seen videos from The Metropolitan Museum of Art about new installations and have always wondered about the people in the gloves that can move the art around. I hope we get to see you conserve at least one of these pieces.
I have found this series fascinating and informative. Being a behind the scenes person myself, it is another layer in the many of art , theatre, dance and music. Here in Australia we hold 'the Archibald" portrait exhibition, the most well known prize for art in the country. One of the aspects I have always loved about it is the 'Packers Prize' Now in its 32nd year, the Packing Room Prize is a $3000 cash prize awarded to the best entry in the Archibald Prize as judged by the Art Gallery staff who receive, unpack and hang the entries. Thank you for all of the content you share with us.
This series is a treasure trove of information. Great work to everyone involved!
You telling the art movers the bannister had a hops seed on it was peak content.
Very enjoyable and informative.
Amazing content! ❤
Wow Jocelyn is as gorgeous as the house she's giving a tour of!
I’d love to see a video on the future where we see the restoration of these two pieces as a continuation of a theme. Love this series as much as your other work mate.
This series is making me so smart.
This series is top notch. Instant want for me!
As a lifelong Milwaukee resident, I hope to see a video of these painting being conserved.
Your a great narrator with the talented conservations but also a wonderful show-host; seem to be a comfortable entertainer. Stellar job with these episodes.
Some years ago my only contact with fine art was in museums but then I discovered Baumgartner Restorations youtube channel and was exposed to so much depth and detail that I had no idea even existed. And now with 'Behind The Canvas' I am finding a breadth to the Fine Art World that is almost breathtaking in it's scope. Thank you Mr Baumgartner and please extend my thanks to all the great companies that have allowed you to bring us into their businesses.
I hope you follow up on these two works from lifting them out of their crates. Thanks! ❤
Thank you, Julian. I just finished binge watching Season 1 of Behind the Canvas. It was fascinating to see the different, behind the scenes aspects of the world of art
I love this series. Behind the scenes and how, what, where it all starts, then when it begins. Looking forward to the conservation of these two pieces of art. ❤❤❤❤
I think this behind the scenes set of videos is excellent. And would make a great pbs series
I am truly loving this series. I deal with watch restoration, so my worries are ah.....way smaller!
But I can see overlaps with the methodology and cares taken by these companies and it's fascinating to learn how the magic is made. Also, that dress print is beautiful, very classic.
Very interesting. It seems logical that you don't want your really expensive artwork to be tossed around by a normal logistics company.
This is amazing! I'm so happy this series exists and Julian you needn't have worried at all in the beginning!
PBS your move…you’ve got two guaranteed mega hit TV series’ in Julian…
“Behind the Canvas”
“The Joy of Restoring…fine art restoration with Julian”
I really like this series you should be on the History Channel my friend!
Oh, this is far too good for the history channel. Their format demands would ruin it.
every episode of this series is exquisite.
Excellent choice of an aspect of the art world I never even thought of. Now I know!
Ah.. More adventures !
Love the quality of care for the art and the history! Great job as always Julian😀
I’d like to say thank you to those companies you are visiting for allowing us to gain an insight into the conservation, framing, moving etc that we have seen so far. Amazing!
Another great video of information.. Thank you for the tour..
very professional, very interesting! well done, Julian!
Love this current set of video’s that you are releasing. Thank you for sharing and always making it interesting ❤️
Another great Field Trip! Loved seeing the Pabst mansion.
Great video, very unique! Thank you ❤
I feel,invested in these art pieces now, hope we get to see the conservation of one or both of them in a future video.
Brilliant work … love all information and meeting interesting people
Thank you! I had the extreme luck to have a friend in central MA who, when he was not being a poet, was the arms and armory conservator to one and then another local museum. He used to tell his poet friends stories about installing and then reclaiming exhibits in museums elsewhere (in different parts of the country.) You've just given me visuals and explanations as to why it took him so long when he was away.
Rockwell Muesum in Central MA!
@@michaelsheffield6852 no... John W. Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester MA. They closed due to funding shortfalls, and Higgins donated the arms and armor to the Worcester Art Museum, where it is today. My friend also moved to WAM., where he supported the collection.
Oh Julian that house I adore homes of the past that have been kept in their original state the detail and the craftsmanship in the Pabst Mansion is just so so exquisite, and sadly in the modern age this craftsmanship is almost lost. My ex husband was a carpenter being employed to produce one off items for major buildings in Sydney, Melbourne and several others around the country and a few overseas. We maybe divorced but I always admired his skill is building beautiful items which still remain and I hope will be such in perpetuity. If I ever win the lottery this mansion will be on my bucket list to visit as is the beautiful library " Livraria Lello e Irmao" in Porto, Portugal. I cant wait to see you work on the pieces you collected today. Thankyou for all the behind the scenes videos you have been doing. @BaumgartnerRestoration
I am addicted to those videos. 😆
As someone who has gone to college and worked in Milwaukee it's great to see Julian there. The Pabst
Mansion collection conserved by the best.😊❤🎉
You should see Copshaholm or the Oliver Mansion, in South Bend, IN.
Hey, I appreciate the work you do. I am not an artist. I am a history teacher in Rural/Reservation Wyoming. You have given me an added amount of appreciation for those who make windows into who they are through the art you restore. More importantly, I appreciate your little window you provide into the art you practice as well. In my opinion your channel does as much for the art community as any of the businesses you have shown us in this series.
As an aside, when you started this project, I was very worried because as you introduced the idea, it sounded like you were going to step away from restoring art so that you could show us other aspects of art. This fear of change away from what you normally do made me not watch the non-restoration videos. Now I understand that you are doing this in addition to the things you were already doing. I will watch and enjoy resting assured that you will continue to clean and restore amazing works.
