More than square footage

Storage is an operating system for the next decision.

Artwork in storage still needs a reliable path to viewing, documentation, release, delivery, installation, sale, or long-term collection planning. Aiston connects those steps through controlled handling and clear records.

01

Intake

Object details, packing status, condition context, photography, access needs, and storage instructions are established.

02

Environment

Climate-controlled storage supports stable conditions while artwork is held between projects or for longer terms.

03

Access

Viewings, inspections, photography, releases, deliveries, and installations are coordinated rather than treated as exceptions.

04

Records

Location status, movement, handling notes, and release instructions remain connected to the object.

Continuity of care

Environmental control is one layer of storage.

Useful storage planning also considers security, handling, inventory, rack or crate status, access authority, viewings, release procedures, and how the work will move next.

  • Temporary holding before installation or delivery
  • Long-term private collection storage
  • Renovation, estate, sale, or seasonal residence transitions
  • Exhibition, art fair, international, and return logistics

Storage questions

Plan for access at intake

What information is useful for a storage quote?

Share an artwork list, dimensions, medium, photos, packing status, expected duration, collection timing, access conditions, and known future needs.

Can stored work be prepared for a private viewing?

Yes. Viewing preparation can be coordinated with handling, room setup, photography, condition review, release instructions, and return movement.

Can storage connect to transport and installation?

Yes. Intake, release, delivery, installation, packing, documentation, and onward shipping can be planned as connected services.

Aiston reviews the artwork, locations, access, schedule, and connected services before confirming scope. A quote request is not a booking or an automatic price.
