Some Key Elements to Consider with Art Storage

Some Key Elements to Consider with Art Storage

Both private and institutional collectors should always be informed about the details of storing their artwork. No matter if it is a temporary issue due to renovations or a long-term due to accidents such as fire, flood or any kind. For those who collect art it is important to consider a fine art storage company with reputation. We say this because many times we have seen art damaged by poor fine art storage conditions.

Because the fine art warehouse industry is largely unregulated, insurance companies have begun to step in and set up guidelines to educate art owners on important criteria when looking for fine art storage. Some key elements to consider with warehouse:

• Does the company have a professional art handling training program for employees?
• Does the company perform background checks on all employees?
• Is there a bar code inventory system in place to help locate items at any given time?
• Is there a central control system with camera monitors?Is there an alarm system installed? If so, what type?
• Does the facility have a fire detection system that provides instant notification to the fire department?
• Is the facility climate and humidity controlled?
• Is there a plan in place to protect against infestation?

It is important to research and identify the preventative measures a facility is taking to ensure the safety and security of your artwork, as it is also important to be aware that fine art warehouses are not immune to everyday risks and disasters.
