Custom fine art insurance

Your collection, whether carefully curated or inherited, focused on historic significance or strategic investment, is important and deserves a customized insurance program.

Our role is to serve as a trusted advisor, resource, and, when needed, advocate to find the insurance plan best suited to your collection’s unique needs.

Client Advocacy: High-valued artwork on exhibition

Our client was considering loaning highly valued artwork to a traveling art exhibition and sought clarity on the borrowing institution’s security, travel arrangements, and insurance coverage. Upon review, we found the exhibition was covered by a government indemnity program, which differed significantly from the coverage the client expected, and the client was unaware of the differences. Our team carefully assessed the risks and venue security, then crafted a transition plan to ensure seamless coverage between locations. This guidance empowered our client to make confident decisions, ensuring the artwork’s safety and the collector’s peace of mind. Ultimately, the loan was successful, delighting both the collector and the museums, and allowing many visitors to appreciate the artwork during its journey to two museums.

We combine deep industry knowledge, discretion, and a passion for preservation to provide our clients—collectors, galleries, institutions, and artists—with peace of mind, ensuring their cultural assets are safeguarded against loss, damage, and uncertainty. Our commitment is to uphold the integrity and legacy of art through specialized risk management and personalized service.
