Serious Art Storage, by sin on Dec 22, 2014 16:43:02 GMT 1, The flat files are full, I have a 3rd bedroom that was meant to be an office which is now where all the framed / canvas / panel pieces go that arent on the walls. 1. this is getting a bit out of hand 2. im concerned about causing condition issues.
Does anyone store work outside their home? If so, is a simple air conditioned storage facility ok?
Down here we have storage facilities that specialize in fine art storage, but the prices... woooh.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Insurance issues if the fine art isn't stored at a particular-level location??
Good question sin!

However, it may be a viable business for ya if they're insured. Staging, rentals etc... Otherwise I'm out of ideas, and almost out of space in my place too.

In which case if you look at a normal storage facility with a/c etc there is the breakdown possibility but how does that risk compared to your home is the risk bigger or similar?

I know gander and white offer art storage and importantly there warehouse is hurricane proof .
