Scott Atthowe (1944 - 2024)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on October 31st of Scott Atthowe, our founder. He was an early pioneer of specialized art-handling and shipping, founding Atthowe Fine Art Services in the 1970s. He built a small trucking company into an internationally acclaimed full-service business renowned for excellence. Before retirement, he realized his dream to sell his company to its employees, leaving his employees a thriving business organized as a California Worker-Owned Cooperative.
