Protect Your Collection

 

A standard homeowners policy may not cover a valuable painting for its full worth, and it may not cover accidental breakage. Fine art coverage protects each piece for its appraised value.

 

Options for Every Collector

We cover a single valuable painting as well as growing collections, with options for new pieces you buy.

 

Real People, Real Help

Our licensed agents help you understand appraisals and options and find coverage that fits your art and your budget.

Fine Art Insurance FAQs

Straight answers to the questions art owners ask us most.

Does homeowners insurance cover my paintings?

Partly. Artwork is often covered as regular personal property, which may not pay full value and may exclude breakage. Fine art coverage fills those gaps.

 

 

How do you value my art?

Most insurance companies use a recent professional appraisal, bill of sale or other documentation to set an agreed value for each piece.

 

 

Is my art covered when it is on loan or moving?

It can be. Ask us about transit coverage and coverage while art is on loan to a gallery or exhibit.
