Collection storage
30,000 sq ft of climate-controlled art storage.
Aiston stores artwork for collectors, galleries, advisors, estates and institutions at two facilities: Long Island City, minutes from Manhattan, and Deer Park, Long Island, about an hour east of the city. More than 25,000 works are in our care. Every work gets its own inventory number and barcode, with gallery-level registrar services, so locations, condition and item details are always to hand. Storage starts at $195 a month.
Barcoded intake
Each work is given an inventory number and barcode at intake. Photography and Articheck condition reports are available.
Monitored climate
Temperature and humidity are controlled and monitored by sensors in every art storage area, with alerts if readings leave 65–75°F or 40–55% relative humidity.
Racks and bays
Works are stored on raised racking with custom painting and flatwork bays, from small bays to oversized ones, plus space for crates.
Access and release
Viewings, inspections, releases, deliveries and installations are booked from storage. Transfers between our two facilities are free.
