Art Storage
We store art securely.
Overview
We store art securely
Storing art correctly, for either a short, medium or long term, requires the right know-how and facilities to ensure the security and condition of each artwork is never compromised.
IAS offers discreet storage facilities for private, commercial and investment fund managers, in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra and Perth, suitable for two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art either crated or uncrated.
All our facilities are unmatched for their quality, security and sheer capability to store artworks at a constant 21ºC and 50% relative humidity. Climate conditions are maintained in accordance with the NAA (National Archives of Australia) & AICCM (Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Materials) Guidelines.
