Helutrans provides a combined 300,000 sqft of art storage facilities across our stations.
All our facilities adhere to high standards of fine art storage with the following features:
Our storage facilities are managed by registrar teams who ensure movement and inventories are constantly updated.
In addition, our Singapore facilities are under bonded status, where tax is suspended as long as artworks are stored within the premises approved by Singapore Customs.
Private viewing rooms are available at each of our facilities.
We can assist with logistical and technical arrangements for setting up private views according to clients’ needs, including providing short-term storage and onward transfer for artworks under consideration and/or in transit.
Our viewing rooms are ideal for trade clients who do not have a brick-and-mortar presence and wish to transact in a private gallery setting within our storage premises.
