Fine Art Storage & Logistics 

Our fine art storage facilities across Oregon and Washington provide artists with a secure location for your artwork in a controlled environment, away from the elements. Suitable for temporary and long-term art storage, we have near 20,000 square feet of space to accommodate storing of small paintings & large sculptures, to an entire museum or gallery collection.

Art Work FAS provides a complete range of storage services for art including acquisition, development, construction, and management of storage items for art museums, private artwork collectors and commercial clients.​ All fine art items that are stored get inventoried, and our company provides real-time information on your artwork during storage. We also offer digital image archiving, supplementary art insurance, and restoration/conservation services—see Support Services for more details.

Fine Art Protection

Fine Art Protection

Every art shipment includes federally mandated limited liability coverage, which pays out at 60 cents per pound. For high-value, one-of-a-kind, original, or highly sentimental artwork, we strongly recommend purchasing supplemental insurance to protect your collection.

We partner with Huntington T. Block and are able to provide custom quotes on protection for items in transit, during installation, or while in storage. Due to the care, we take in all fine art handling, our claims history is one of the best in the industry and qualifies Art Work FAS for ideal pricing, which we are able to pass along to our clients.  

For clients insured under their own corporate umbrella, homeowners’ insurance, or fine art policy, we can assist with completion of artwork insurance documentation. This is often a requirement when items are in storage or when moving large or high-value collections, as it allows insurers to more effectively evaluate risk. For museums coordinating loans through multiple lenders, we are often able to minimize protection costs by independently valuing each transport segment under our care.
