Insure fading photographs
Photographs have complex chemical structure and material composition. Each material has its own preservation issues and needs.
Consequently, photographs may suffer from fading and deterioration over time regardless of the extra care and special handling. Most Insurance Companies cannot provide coverage for items that cause themselves to deteriorate as a cause of loss.
However, a proper appraisal done every 3-5 years will keep the collection in good proper order. As changes in condition occur, a current appraisal will note the photograph’s individual characteristics which will then influence the current market value of the single item.

What Travelers has to say About Art Insurance
Inland Marine — Fine art
What it covers
Travelers offer unparalleled coverage for the protection of scheduled fine art items. Coverage for such fine art is available at a permanent location, in transit or while loaned to others. Our Agreed Value Fine Arts Policy ensures that fine art collections are insured under a form that addresses the needs for that collection, while also making breakage coverage, special pairs and sets coverage, and flood and earthquake coverage available.
For significant corporate collections of fine art, or for artwork and collectibles in commercial settings, we offer comprehensive fine art coverage under which a broad spectrum of paintings, sculptures, prints and multiples, and more specialized collections of historical, cultural or technological significance can be insured.
Who needs it
Corporations and commercial accounts may have valuable works of art not specially covered as fine art under standard package policies that can be insured under our fine art coverage.
Recent Success Stories
Recently, I received an email from a new Art Gallery in Texas. She and the partner have been in the prereferral part of the art business. Their experiences were in promotion and advertisement of Artist. A few years past, they had an opportunity to open a pop-up gallery selling prints, Paintings and non-fragile sculptures in a busy section of Galveston. They were at the stage of having the first show in a permanent location; this is when, they turned to me, for their Art Insurance needs. I was able to secure a great Fine Art Insurance policy for $1,300. This covered $50,000 on location, unnamed locations and $20,000 transit.
So I rode into the sunset feeling good about the terms, cost and turnaround time, for my new client.
