Our art storage facilities in Long Island City and Deer Park

Intake, storage, viewing, and release stay connected.
Founded in New York in 2002, Aiston works with collectors, galleries, advisors, designers, estates and institutions across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Hamptons, Long Island and the tri-state area. Storage at either facility connects to the rest of the job: collection and delivery, installation, packing and crating, and private viewing are planned together, with the object records kept connected.
Storage
Works are stored on raised racking with custom painting and flatwork bays, in rooms monitored for temperature and humidity with alerts.
Viewing
Our Long Island City viewing room hosts client showings, inspections, photography and curatorial review by appointment.
Documentation
Object records, photographs, condition notes, location status, release instructions, and collection context stay connected.
Controls
Access, release, and movement stay controlled.
A release may lead to transport, placement, viewing, exhibition, packing, crating, shipping, or return to a residence. Facility work keeps that next step attached to the object before it leaves.
Start with fine art storage for holding requirements and private viewing for appointments. For recurring access, approved contacts and release records, see collection management. Coordinate onward movement through fine art transportation.
