Preserving the Past. Protecting the Future.
Skyrocketing values for art have put a new premium on security designed to protect works of art and other valuables from environmental damage and theft. According to The Wall Street Journal, “… endemic security flaws at museums are enticing a new generation of thieves and raising the stakes…. At the same time, worsening economies and shifting priorities are forcing governments to slash their budgets to combat art crime.”
And that is only the half of it. Apart from theft… flooding, fire, pollution, mold, fluctuations in temperature and humidity, and simply mishandling of art have all taken a severe toll. Presently, 4,8 Billion Artifacts are held in public trust by more tham 30,000 facilities. Indeed, some 65% of our nation’s collecting institutions have experienced damage to collections due to improper storage. It isn’t just museums either. The same inherent problems afflict private collectors and dealers in fine art as well.
