Art Storage Services
Climate-controlled storage
Stable temperature and humidity year round, the baseline requirement for canvas, wood, paper, and mixed media.
Long-term collection storage
Secure housing for institutional and private collections between exhibitions, during relocations, or for the long haul.
Short-term and transit storage
Holding between venues, before installation, or while a residence or gallery is prepared.
Crated and racked storage
Works stored, created, or racked according to their needs and their owner’s access requirements.
Inventory and documentation
Complete change-outs: one show down, the next show up, on the gallery’s calendar.
Each work logged with condition reporting available at intake and release.
Crating, transport, courier, and installation from the same facility, so stored works move without changing custodians.
Why Location Is Our Advantage
Metro art storage prices reflect metro real estate, not better care. Our facility delivers the conditions a collection requires, climate stability, security, trained art handlers, while sitting on Central New York ground that costs a fraction of a Manhattan warehouse district. The savings flow directly to collectors and institutions, which is why clients from far beyond our region store here.
Distance matters less than people assume. Within a day’s drive of the major Northeast art centers, with our own climate-controlled transport running regularly, a work stored with Naglee is never far from where it needs to appear next.
Intake sets the tone for everything that follows. Arriving works are inspected by preparators, condition-documented, photographed as needed, and assigned housed locations recorded in our inventory. Owners receive the documentation, and from that point forward every movement of the work inside the facility is logged. Years later, the record is as orderly as the day the work arrived.

Got Questions? We've got answers
We answer the questions people actually ask before hiring a mover: licensing, coverage, pricing, and what happens on moving day.
Stable, controlled temperature and humidity year round, with works housed crated, wrapped, or racked according to their materials and condition. Stability is the point: fluctuation, not any single reading, is what damages art.
Museums and institutions between exhibitions, galleries managing inventory, estates in transition, and private collectors who want conservation conditions without metro storage bills.
Yes, by arrangement. Works are retrieved by our art handlers and prepared for viewing or release, with condition documentation updated at each movement.
Substantially lower, for equivalent conditions. Metro art storage carries metro real estate costs; ours does not. For long-term storage the difference compounds into a serious number.
Yes. Because transport, crating, and courier services operate from the same facility, stored works ship anywhere without an intermediate handoff, with TSA screening available for air freight.
Terms are flexible. Works are stored for weeks between venues or for years between chapters of a collection’s life, and pricing follows the space and duration. Call with your situation and we will quote it plainly.
