A4 has maintained a continuous presence in New York City since 1989. After nearly two decades in Brooklyn, in 2014, we opened our flagship, 65,000-square-foot facility in Long Island City. The location features state-of-the-art security systems, and our climate controls are provided by an environmentally responsible chiller room and cooling plant. Our LIC facility features both private and shared vaults, a viewing room, and an on-site custom crate fabrication shop. Increasingly important in the New York metro area, our LIC facility is not located in a flood plain.

From contemporary works to historically significant collections, our professional fine art shippers manage each move with precision, discretion, and respect for the artwork.
