Archival storage art photography

Archival Storage Tube

$75.00

This tube is a solution for collectors who do not plan to immediately frame their artwork. As a convenience to you, the artist’s studio will source appropriate archival storage for art photography. We will substitute these long-term archival materials for standard shipping tubes and ship the artwork ready for extended storage. Kept in a climate controlled environment, the archival tube preserves the photographs safely inside non-reactive materials.

Not sold separately. Archival storage for art photography must be ordered with at least one archival photograph.

Please note that curing will occur during storage; this is normal and artworks can be flattened by a professional framer. It is not recommended that tubes be used to store artworks that will be periodically unrolled then re-rolled by the collector. If you choose to unroll and re-roll your photograph, take care not to damage to the paper during handling. For artworks to be viewed unframed, an archival storage box is an option.
