The art market is hot and only getting hotter. More collectors are spending more money and many are beginning to <\/span>wonder<\/span><\/a> if art is a more solid investment than the stock market? <\/span>Luxury residential buildings<\/span><\/a> are furnishing model units with only art to attract attention and collectors are looking for homes that will showcase their art best, in terms of light, display space, etc. But what happens when you have too much art to display and need storage? <\/span><\/p>\n

Freeports are <\/span>offshore storage facilities that exist outside of the territorial jurisdiction of any country and offer tax advantages. Freeports exist all over the world but only one is in New York (below). So what a<\/span>re other, closer and more accessible options? <\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>Frieze Art Fair<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>TEFAF <\/span><\/a>in New York this week – and tons of other fairs throughout the year – we have highlighted some of the best local storage facilities and their services for New York City art collectors’ new acquisitions. From climate controlled moving trucks to retinal scan security services, these storage facilities are far from your mother\u2019s attic.<\/span><\/p>\n

ARCIS<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Arus\"<\/p>\n

Kevin Lay, former executive of Crozier Fine Art, and Tom Sapienza, former CFO of Crozier Fine Arts, were recruited by art collector and real estate mogul Ken Cayre to open ARCIS. ARCIS is actually a freeport but Tom Sapienza is quoted as saying, \u201c<\/span>While the FTZ designation is receiving a lot of deserved attention, the foundation of Arcis is providing real, museum-level sustainable storage to the private sector.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After consulting with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam for advice on creating a state-of-the-art secure facility with cutting-edge air-filtration systems, retinal scanning, biometric key control and 60 video feeds. The team also pursued LEED and BREEAM certificates for the building. <\/span>Located on West 146th Street in Harlem, the 110,000-square-foot, five-story facility has been designated for as much as $2.5 billion of art.<\/span><\/p>\n
