26 July 2024
Discover how JK Fasham’s sculpture storage solutions can protect your artwork from Melbourne’s unpredictable weather. Learn about our tailored storage options.
Sculpture storage is a critical concern for art collectors and institutions in Melbourne. The city’s notoriously unpredictable weather, ranging from intense heat waves to unexpected rainstorms, can pose serious threats to valuable artworks. Proper storage solutions are essential to shield sculptures from the harmful effects of temperature fluctuations and humidity changes that could lead to irreparable damage.
One of the most crucial aspects of JK Fasham’s service is sculpture storage. Proper storage is essential for protecting valuable artworks from the elements in a city like Melbourne, where the weather can change from scorching heat to chilly downpours in a matter of hours.
The Importance of Proper Sculpture Storage
Sculptures, whether made from metal, stone, wood, or other materials, are significant cultural and financial investments. Exposure to Melbourne’s unpredictable weather can lead to various forms of damage, including corrosion, cracking, warping, and discolouration. This is where professional sculpture storage comes into play, offering a haven for artworks between installations or during periods when they’re not on display.
