Protect Your Fine Art

Whether you wish to store one item or a whole collection, for short term or long term, we have the ideal storage plans for your needs.

Our specialist facility can also be used to store antiques and wine collections. Should you need help transporting your collections to our storage facility, our specialist team can arrange packing and collection and transportation via our Fine Art Transportation Service.

We offer flexible rental periods, so whether you require short term or long term storage for your collection, our state of the art storage facility will take care of your collection for as long as you need.

Protect Your Christmas Investments

Are you adding to your Fine Art collection this Christmas? Perhaps you are looking to purchase some antique furniture? Is your wine collection going to be expanded?

Whatever your plans for your collection this Christmas, keeping your investments protected is essential.

Storing your investments at home can be a difficult task, particularly if you are limited for space. Not only are your items at greater risk from damage and theft, but everyday conditions such as sunlight and damp can affect your items during storage.

At Cube Fine Arts, our expert team provide protective storage for your investment pieces. Our secure storage units are temperature controlled to protect your items, and care and attention is given to every item to ensure they are packed and transported safely.

To avoid your investments being at risk this Christmas, why not give us a call on 0800 027 2668 to discuss how our storage facility can benefit you and your collection?

Christmas Wines

At Christmas, many families host a family get together or Christmas party, and businesses organize their office parties. As the festive season approaches, lots of shops and wine merchants often run promotions to encourage pre Christmas (and New Year’s Eve) trade.

If you are planning a festive gathering, finding space to store multiple bottles of wine can be tricky, particularly if you are storing them at home and have small children running about. 

At Cube Fine Arts we offer the perfect solution – climate controlled storage. To avoid damage and prevent premature ageing, wine should be stored at the correct temperature. If the surrounding environment is too hot, the colour and clarity of the wine can be affected and if the surrounding environment is too cold, over time the liquid will expand and cause the bottle to explode.

Our climate controlled storage facilities are available on short term lease (perfect for pre Christmas and New Year wine storage) and on a longer term basis (ideal for storing your prized wine collection).

If you think climate controlled wine storage would benefit you, contact a member of our Fine Art team on 0800 027 2668 or via our Online Contact Form and we will be happy to assist you.

Making a move

When it comes to moving - home, office, studio or gallery exhibition - the task of packing up our belongings is time consuming and can be daunting, particularly when artwork is involved. Sometimes we are required to leave a property before the new one is available, and some new premises need renovation work prior to moving in. 

When moves take their time and storage is needed, it is important to consider the best place for our artwork  - paintings and sculptures are delicate enough without the worry of being damaged in transit or while they are waiting to be displayed.

At Cube Fine Art Services we offer the perfect solution for your short term and long term art storage needs. Our specialist facilities means your artwork is safe, secure and protected without risk of damage from humidity, mould and dust, giving you peace of mind during your move.

 

Your Collection

For any collector with a growing collection of artwork, adequate space is essential. Storing in garages and sheds is too risky, due to changes in temperature and risk from mould, damp and rodents. Storing in our homes can be tricky, due to limited space and the effect sunlight can have on our artwork (see our news article on the risk of sun exposure here).

Cube Fine Art Services

At Cube Fine Art Services, your artwork - a single painting or a collection - is handled, packed, stored and moved with the utmost care. Our years of experience guarantee absolute discretion, specialist packaging and a professional service to transport your collection to and from any installation in the world.

Whether you are an art gallery, a museum, a corporate buyer or a private collector, we have expertise as a consultancy in dealing with Fine Art and exhibition moves. As well as storing your artwork in our secure, climate controlled storage facility, we offer guidance and advise on all matters logistical or legal.

Your fine art consultant will be yours from start to finish – ensuring clarity, continuity and the reassurance you would expect.

Art Storage for the Abstract Artist

Minimalist art is always a source of contention, but following her esteemed Jewish memorial created in Vienna, Rachel Whiteread’s new exhibition entitled ‘Detached,’ at the Gagosian Gallery in London, is set to be a success. Richard Dorment from the Telegraph suggests that perhaps her work is so well respected due to being “freighted with meaning.”

 

In this exhibition, she takes everyday objects and detaches them from their initial significance by casting them in concrete, plaster or resin. This causes people to think more deeply about the structure of an object, but also consider the people who used them. Objects such as bathtubs and sheds become imbued with meaning rather than existing as a simple, utilitarian object. We’re wondering if Rachel would like to use a crate from our friends at Easycrate for inspiration for a spectacle at her exhibition. Although it goes without saying that plastic crates are so much more than simple objects!
 

In any case, Rachel is always welcome to store her artwork with us here at Cube Fine Art Services, especially having studied her art in Sussex at the local Brighton polytechnic! With our climate controlled storage, we can help maintain the integrity of her unique pieces by protecting them from heat, cold, dust, mould and humidity. Whatever the object, whether it be a shed or the kitchen sink, we will endeavour to find a suitable solution that meets your needs and budget. Contact us today for a service that is second to none in offering bespoke art transport and storage.

The original selfies – Pristine Portraits

In recent months we have seen the rise of the selfie where celebrities and mere mortals alike take posed and staged photos of themselves. According to the urban dictionary a selfie is a picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook or other social networking sites. But we think that selfies have been around much longer than originally presumed as really self portraits can be seen as a type of selfie!

Van Gogh, Picasso, Warhol... just a few famous artists who have all dabbled in the art of self portraits and usually display interesting and unique views of the artists themselves.

So do you have any portraits or self portraits that you need to store to keep in pristine condition? Cube Fine Art offers a range of art storage facilities to cater for a variety of art pieces from sculptures and sketches to antique furniture. Climate controlled storage units are also available for more delicate and valuable pieces.

So whether your portrait is a priceless family air loom or a famous valuable antique, Cube Fine Art has the facilities to store your artworks. Get incontact today to find out more.

Portraits for storage

In light of the recent loss of Lady Thatcher, an infamous political character not only in Britain but on the world stage we have decided to dedicate this week’s Cube Fine Art blog to discuss some Thatcher related artworks that have been created over the years.

In the past few days you would have found The Iron lady who divided our nation plastered on nearly every newspaper in the UK with tributes coming in from across the world. But we are going to highlight some of the portraits that have been commissioned to artists over the years that have been able to capture her true spirit and seem to ooze her powerful and passionate aura.

The portraits are typically thinking pieces that encourage the audience to reflect upon Thatcher and her life, and typically capture not only her tell tale highly groomed hair styles and pearl earring! - but her ideology and political work that seem to reflect the opinions held by the artist creating a cloud of controversy that still seems to follow the Thatcher name.  

Views on Thatcher’s political stance were mixed to say the least and this has resulted in artworks varying in tone and interpretation from ominous and imposing to gentle and virtuous. The portraits serve to ensure she will never been forgotten not least for being Britain’s first and currently only woman Prime Minister but for the changes she made to our country and in David Cameron’s words who “saved our country”.

In the wake of her death we predict Thatcher artworks will rise in popularity and value. So do you have any Thatcher related artworks? If so store with Cube Fine Arts to ensure they are protected and stored with as much care and dedication that the Lady herself had to her cause.

Equine Art

The Grand National is coming up this Saturday and here at Cube Fine art we've got racing fever! With horses, odds and bets on the mind we thought it apt to discuss horse related art in our latest blog.

Horses are the epitome of strength and grace and are fitting subjects of artist’s work. They have long provided inspiration for artists such as Munnings and George Stubbs who are perhaps England’s most famous painters where horses are usually their subject of choice; but more recently the Turner prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger has unveiled his latest work, a life-sized marble and resin racehorse sculpture, at the Mall in London.

Amusingly we even found news where horses themselves pick up the paintbrush to create artworks! With dedicated websites and forums about the art of horse painting and even a horse that has sold its artworks for small fortunes!

That’s enough horsing around... When it comes to art storage, packing and shipping remember Cube Fine Arts, whether it’s a sculpture or a sketch we have the facilities to ensure your art is cared for and protected. Get in contact today to find out more.

Easter Eggs

In the spirit of Easter, the conventional chocolate egg was not the first thing to come to mind for us here at Cube Fine Art but instead the mystical Fabergè egg! These jewelled eggs made by the House of Fabergè have become a symbol of luxury, masterpieces of the jeweller’s art. Having a rich history the eggs are intrinsically linked to Russian aristocracy and are extremely valuable!

Now your art collection may not involve any Fabergè eggs but whatever it does involve we are sure Cube Fine Art will be able to provide for all your art packing, storage and transportation needs.

From creating purpose built art packing cases to storing complete collections in our climate controlled storage facility we are able to build a bespoke service around your unique requirements. All items will be handled with the utmost of care so you can be sure your prized collections are in safe hands. So sit back and enjoy your Easter... you never know there may be a Fabergè egg at the end of your Easter egg hunt!

Unexpected Value in Art

A rare 18^th century Chinese vase sold at auction in Yorkshire for almost £1m last week. The vase which was valued at £10,000 to £15,000 turned out to be an extremely rare ornament which was made for a Chinese emperor in around 1730.

The vase had been kept in a house in North Yorkshire for 45 years and the owner had no idea of its value.

Stories like this demonstrate the importance of storing your art pieces securely, as you never know the real value of your collection!

Cube Fine Art is able to store your art pieces whatever they may be safely and securely in the hope that they will appreciate in the future. Our climate controlled facility is also ideal for storing precious items that are sensitive to heat, cold, dust and humidity. Cube offers unparalleled facilities to protect your art.
