What is Fine Art Insurance?

Fine art insurance is a specialized form of protection designed to safeguard your most cherished works and cultural property against loss, damage, or theft. Unlike standard property insurance, these policies are built specifically to address the unique risks, fluctuating values, and meticulous handling requirements that come with an art collection. 

What collections do we protect?

Whether you are just beginning to curate or are managing a multi-generational legacy, we offer artwork insurance tailored to:

Dedicated artwork insurance coverage

Our standard policies provide “all-risk” protection, including coverage for fire, theft, storm surge, and accidental breakage on wall-to-wall and door-to-door basis. We offer several customizable enhancements, including:

Homeowners vs. Fine Art Insurance

Most homeowners policies have strict limits or exclusions for fine art, often leaving your most valuable assets unprotected against common threats like fire or accidental damage. Fine art insurance fills these critical gaps.

Why you should insure your collection

Art is often both emotionally meaningful and financially significant. Because it is exposed to risks that standard insurance doesn’t adequately cover, a specialty fine art insurance policy is essential to:

1

Protect substantial value

We protect you from the financial devastation of theft, water damage, or natural disasters.

2

Cover art wherever it goes

Your artwork insurance follows your collection—whether it’s displayed in your home, in storage, or on loan for exhibition.

3

Coverage that fits art

Because homeowners coverage isn’t always designed for fine art, ours reflects the artwork’s appraised or agreed value.

4

Expert claims support

Your claim is handled by art specialists who understand conservation, restoration, and diminished value.

5

Preserve peace of mind

You should be able to enjoy and display your pieces without worry. We provide the security that allows you to live with your art.
