  • 1.  Storage Design

    Posted 12 days ago

    Hello, 

    Can anyone recommend any companies or consultants who can help in planning and design of art storage? We are moving the Niki de Saint Phalle collection into a new space and would like to retrofit both our existing storage warehouse and design our new neighboring storage space with the collections in mind. Would love another brain to help me think through this!

    Any recommendations or contacts would be most appreciated! 

    With thanks,

    Joy

    Hi Joy,

    I highly recommend Wendy Jessup and Associates and Sandra Vicchio and Associates.

    I am currently working with Wendy and Sandra on the planning and design of art storage for a new building and collection (which coincidentally includes a small number of works by Niki de Saint Phalle).  I have worked with Wendy and Sandra previously on a feasibility study for potential art storage at a different institution and have known them for nearly 10 years. They are incredibly knowledgable, collaborative, responsive, and simply wonderful in all aspects of the project. 

    Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to talk more about the details of the collection and art storage plan. (egansh@dickinson.edu)

    All best,

    Shannon
