A cart is conveniently loaded and unloaded for protected transport of vulnerable artwork of larger dimensions. A cage located at the top of the cart includes perimetric members that confine the artwork safely during transport. One of the perimetric members is selectively removable for opening the cage to admit and release the artwork into and out of the cage through a corresponding side of the cage, thereby avoiding lifting of the artwork vertically over the cage during loading and unloading of the artwork transported by the cart.

1. A conveniently loaded and unloaded cart for protected transport of vulnerable artwork of larger dimensions, the cart comprising: a plurality of component parts defining a receiving envelope having a bottom, a top, and sides, within which receiving envelope the vulnerable artwork is to be held protected against damage during transport, the plurality of component parts includinga horizontally-oriented floor of prescribed longitudinal length and lateral width, the floor extending along the bottom of the receiving envelope;an essentially horizontally-oriented cage located at a predetermined level vertically above the floor, the cage extending along the top of the receiving envelope and providing a perimetric edge defining an upper perimeter of the receiving envelope;a plurality of vertically-oriented posts extending between the floor and the cage and mounting the cage at the predetermined level, the posts being spaced transversely outwardly from the sides of the receiving envelope such that upon placement of artwork on the floor and within the receiving envelope, the artwork will be retained confined to the receiving envelope by the perimetric edge, spaced away from the posts, and whereinthe cage comprises laterally spaced apart, longitudinally extending side perimetric members and longitudinally spaced apart, laterally extending end perimetric members, one of the perimetric members being selectively removable from the top of the receiving envelope while the others of the perimetric members remain mounted on corresponding posts, in place along the top of the receiving envelope, at the predetermined level, for opening the receiving envelope to admit and release artwork into and out of the receiving envelope through a corresponding side of the receiving envelope, thereby avoiding lifting of the artwork vertically over the cage during loading and unloading of the artwork transported by the cart. 2. The cage of claim 1 wherein the one of the perimetric members is a side perimetric member. 3. The cart of claim 1 wherein the one of the perimetric members is mounted for sliding vertically upwardly relative to others of the perimetric members upon removal to open the receiving envelope. 4. The cart of claim 3 wherein the one of the perimetric members is a side perimetric member. 5. The cart of claim 1 including a protective pliable bumper extending along the cage and confronting the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope. 6. The cart of claim 5 including a protective pliable liner extending along the floor and confronting the bottom of the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope. 7. The cart of claim 1 including a protective pliable bumper extending along the cage and confronting the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope, and a protective pliable liner extending along the floor and confronting the bottom of the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope. 8. The cart of claim 7 wherein the one of the perimetric members is mounted for sliding movement vertically upwardly relative to others of the perimetric members upon removal to open the receiving envelope. 9. The cart of claim 8 wherein the one of the perimetric members is a side perimetric member. 10. The cart of claim 1 including resiliently compliant caster wheels depending from the floor for enabling smooth translation of the cart during transport of artwork placed within the receiving envelope. 11. A method for loading and unloading a cart for protected transport of vulnerable artwork of larger dimensions, the method comprising: providing a plurality of component parts defining a receiving envelope having a bottom, a top, and sides, within which receiving envelope the vulnerable artwork is held protected against damage during transport, the provided plurality of component parts includinga horizontally-oriented floor of prescribed longitudinal length and lateral width, the floor extending along the bottom of the receiving envelope;an essentially horizontally-oriented cage located at a predetermined level vertically above the floor, the cage providing a perimetric edge defining an upper perimeter of the receiving envelope;a plurality of vertically-oriented posts extending between the floor and the cage and mounting the cage at the predetermined level, the posts being spaced transversely outwardly from the sides of the receiving envelope such that upon placement of artwork on the floor and within the receiving envelope, the artwork will be retained confined to the receiving envelope by the perimetric edge, spaced away from the posts, and whereinthe cage is provided with laterally spaced apart, longitudinally extending side perimetric members and longitudinally spaced apart, laterally extending end perimetric members, the method including selectively removing one of the perimetric members for opening the receiving envelope to admit and release artwork into and out of the receiving envelope through a corresponding side of the receiving envelope, thereby avoiding lifting of the artwork vertically over the cage during loading and unloading of the artwork transported by the cart. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the selectively removed one of the perimetric members is a side perimetric member. 13. The method of claim 11 including mounting the selectively removed one of the perimetric members for sliding vertically upwardly relative to others of the perimetric members upon removal to open the receiving envelope. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein the selectively removed one of the perimetric members is a side perimetric member. 15. The method of claim 11 including extending a protective pliable bumper along the cage and confronting the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope. 16. The method of claim 15 including extending a protective pliable liner along the floor and confronting the bottom of the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope. 17. The method of claim 11 including extending a protective pliable bumper along the cage and confronting the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope, and extending a protective pliable liner along the floor and confronting the bottom of the receiving envelope for protecting artwork placed within the receiving envelope. 18. The method of claim 17 including mounting the one of the perimetric members for sliding movement vertically upwardly relative to others of the perimetric members upon removal to open the receiving envelope. 19. The method of claim 18 wherein the selectively removed one of the perimetric members is a side perimetric member. 20. The method of claim 11 including providing resiliently compliant caster wheels depending from the floor for enabling smooth translation of the cart during transport of artwork placed within the receiving envelope.
