Security for Priceless Objects
We operate a safe, top-of-the-range art storage facility in the heart of Berlin (in accordance with VDS security directives) with over 1500 m² of storage space for your art. Your art is recorded and catalogued in our digital system and issued with a bar code. Whether pictures, light boxes, installations or large sculptures, everything has its place in our store. All our dealings are subject to the utmost discretion.
