New York, NY (PRWEB) May 14, 2014
Cirkers, celebrating more than 150 years of storing, packing and transporting fine art in Manhattan, has opened a second state-of-the-art facility in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Cirkers handles important art pieces, objects and other valuables for collectors, galleries, art dealers and museums. The new facility will expand Cirkers’ capabilities significantly, and offer another art-centric element to the vibrant artist’s community of Williamsburg.
The new 35,000-square-foot Williamsburg facility offers enhanced capabilities that advance Cirkers’ reputation as one of the foremost art storage companies in the world. Temperature and climate-controlled, the Williamsburg facility and has been outfitted with industry-leading security and fire detection systems, which are monitored 24/7. With rooms ranging from 40 to 1500 square feet, and open storage available for oversized objects, Cirkers Williamsburg can accommodate a wide range of artwork and a diverse variety of storage and display requests by its clients. An expanded crate shop provides augmented packing, crating and transportation services to better serve its international client base.
“What makes Cirkers truly special is our concierge service model, which has been designed to help clients enjoy a worry-free experience from the point of purchase to the transfer of the works to their storage or eventual display,” says Andrew Hamilton, Cirkers senior vice president and general manager. “The new Williamsburg facility allows us to expand those services considerably, with enhanced packing and transport capabilities, more display and storage square footage, and more highly trained logistics experts.”
Known for its lively arts, music, dining and shopping scenes, the hip, creative Williamsburg neighborhood is the perfect home for the new Cirkers facility. As one of the most popular and exciting neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Williamsburg boasts a blossoming artist enclave and an ambiance that has been compared to other sophisticated, art-centric neighborhoods, such as Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.
The Cirkers flagship facility is located at 444 W. 55th Street in Manhattan. In 2012, Cirkers Manhattan underwent the final phase of a four-year renovation to create a museum-like entrance and first floor, modernization of the viewing galleries and the addition of two private meeting rooms with audio/visual equipment for client use.
