UOVO Art FAQs

At UOVO, we offer two storage options: concierge storage and private rooms. The space you need will depend on a few factors: your budget, the size of your collection, and how you plan to utilize the space.

Our cost-effective concierge storage is ideal for clients whose inventory fluctuates frequently or who have a temporary storage need. These collections are managed solely by UOVO’s experienced art technicians, who are available to assist clients with transportation, packing, or inventory control.

Our private rooms are best suited to clients who need frequent and direct access to their inventory. Spaces are fully customizable from 50 to 50,000 square feet. UOVO’s in-house designers can modify everything in the unit to store your collection to the highest standard, such as adding museum-grade lighting, bespoke racking, or specialized work areas. Clients can choose to either maintain complete control of their inventory or use UOVO’s barcode system for digital inventory management.

All of our locations offer temperature-controlled and climate-controlled storage. Our temperature-controlled rooms are ideal for items like outdoor sculptures. Our climate-controlled storage rooms are maintained at 70 degrees with a 50 percent humidity level, aligning with industry standards. Climate control assists in the preservation of materials that are adversely affected by fluctuations in humidity, including paper, wood, and textiles. Clients looking to store fashion collections benefit from climate-controlled storage. We also advise to store paintings and fine furniture in this environment.

Payment depends on the type of storage space. Private rooms are billed by square foot, meaning you will pay the same monthly rent no matter how many items are stored. With concierge storage, billing is based on the cubic feet of items actually in storage. This ensures clients are only billed for space they are actively using at any given time. Invoices can be easily paid through UOVO’s proprietary client portal, a digital tool for managing your collection.
