Menomonee Valley warehouse becomes a holding place and gallery for visual art Read the original article: https://shepherdexpress.com/arts-and-entertainment/ae-feature/guardians-of-milwaukee-art/  Jan Serr "Woman in Stream" (2016), Archival inkjet print Some collectors will winnow their holdings to make room for more items or to upgrade their collection. For art collectors John Shannon and Jan Serr, upgrading was beside the point; they bought for love, not investment. With more than 3,600 artworks—from Henri Matisse through David Hockney and contemporary artists from around the world—and no place to display or safely store the entire collection, the couple developed a business, Guardian Fine Art Services (1635 W. St. Paul St.), in a five-story building constructed in 1924. Aside from housing Shannon-Serr’s artwork, Guardian rents space to other collectors, providing a secure environment for irreplaceable items.
Guardian Fine Art Services protects Milwaukee's most valuable art with 'bank-like security'4/5/2019 
3600 artworks. No more room in the house. What to do? Create a private museum in Milwaukee.1/18/2019 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mary Louise Schumacher  John Shannon and his wife, artist Jan Serr, have opened an art gallery unlike any other in Milwaukee. The couple bought a local warehouse on St. Paul Avenue to store their own significant art collection and to provide art storage services to others. One space, however, is dedicated to showing work, their own and local artists. You know you have a serious art buying habit when you have to acquire a 65,000-square-foot warehouse, start an art handling business and create your own private museum just so you can look at what you've got. That is what John Shannon and Jan Serr have done with The Warehouse, a new kind of art space in Milwaukee that will open to the public during Gallery Night & Day, on Friday and Saturday. The couple had run out of room for their 3,600 or so works of art in their east side home. Yes, 3,600. Or so. Download PDF of article: Read the original article:
