What Is Fine Art Insurance?

Fine art, or fine arts, insurance is a specialized insurance product that provides critical financial protection for art if it is lost, stolen or damaged. A specialized fine art policy typically goes beyond a standard homeowners policy that often only offers limited coverage for fine art.

Securing fine art insurance may be beneficial for art collectors since it may offer additional coverage features when compared to a scheduled property endorsement (e.g., the use of a fine art specialized adjuster for a claim). Our agents can provide guidance on the best way to insure your art.

What Does Fine Art Insurance Cover?

Various types of art may be eligible for coverage. Examples of high-value items insurable under a fine art insurance policy include the following:

·        Paintings and sculptures

·        A collection of objects whose value would decrease if a single item was damaged or lost

·        Artwork that museums, art galleries or exhibitions would display

·        Other items whose value exceeds the value of of items materials

Contact us to find out whether your fine art or collection qualifies for coverage.

Other causes of loss may be covered. Our agents can provide more information on terms, limits and exclusions and necessary documentation (e.g., appraisals from certified professionals or photographs) that may be needed for a policy.
