Simon Hornby of Crozier Fine Art

Art storage is one of the most overlooked aspects of the global art market. Crozier Fine Art is one of the first dedicated art storage firms specializing in storage, transport and transaction support. Simon Hornby discusses the firm's history and orientation toward serving the needs of collectors, dealers and museums. He also talks about the ways in which the art storage industry has grown into a custodial and service role to enable the new global art dealing that is based in art fairs around the world. Firms like Crozier provide support to the professionals who manage legal and tax concerns for collectors, dealers and institutions. Finally, Crozier's recent acquisition by Iron Mountain, the document and records storage concern, has initiated a new phase of expansion for Crozier both geographically and into broader areas of tangible asset storage.
