But for emerging collectors and seasoned vets alike, the actual purchase of a piece is only the beginning of what it means to actually <i>own<\/i> art. Though not flashy,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> art insurance<\/a> is a crucial part of collecting. It ensures that, should an artwork be damaged, it can be repaired or, in the case of a total loss, some kind of remuneration can be provided. So what do you need to know about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art insurance<\/a>? We sat down with Robert Pittinger, senior vice president and director of underwriting at AXA Art Americas Corporation, to get some helpful tips.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Know the Process<\/h2>\n<p>When a collector buys specialty <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art insurance<\/a>, they\u2019ll work directly with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broker<\/a> who can assess the collection and determine what policy the collector might need. That <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broker<\/a>, in turn, works directly with the insurance companies to find the right fit. A common misunderstanding of the process, Pittinger says, is that \u201ccollectors confuse the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broker<\/a> with the insurance company.\u201d It\u2019s helpful to know that \u201cthe role of the broker and the art insurer complement one another; however, the roles themselves vary and they are different. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A specialized fine art broker<\/a> is an advocate for the collector in seeking the best possible insurance terms for their clients.\u201d As an insurer, AXA itself works with a select group of fine art brokers.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Keep Documentation<\/h2>\n<p>The first step toward getting insurance is\u2014unsurprisingly\u2014to determine what is going to be insured and for how much. To this end, documentation is key. \u201cOne of the biggest things is that the collector needs to have all the documentation for their collection before they go to the broker, because the broker has to have a very thorough understanding of the price of the collection,\u201d Pittinger says. When approaching a broker, collectors should have a list of all the works, descriptions, invoices of sale prices, the purchase dates, and subsequent appraisal prices.\u201cThe collector\u2019s management of their collection is critical, whether they have an online management system or a spreadsheet or they have manuals with all the documentation and their appraisals\u2014that is a critical part of purchasing the insurance,\u201d Pittinger says.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Assess Your Needs and Options<\/h2>\n<p>All this information is important to provide to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">broker<\/a> so they can determine what insurance is best for you. Though most collectors who need insurance already have it, some collectors think they\u2019re covered by everyday, run-of-the-mill homeowners insurance. And they can be. But, as Pittinger notes, \u201cA homeowner package policy generally is an add-on coverage. It doesn\u2019t go into detail.\u201d Homeowners insurance that covers art might have high deductibles, might not cover a collection across multiple houses, or might not cover the work during transit. That last one is a particularly sticky issue because \u201cany time a collector moves their art, there is increased risk of damage,\u201d Pittinger says. \u201cThat is the number one cause of loss for the insurance industry that specializes in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art insurance<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All this is why, for collections larger than just a few items, Pittinger recommends <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\">specialty art insurance<\/a>. Even lower-priced works and emerging collections can receive insurance: For pieces priced as low as $2,500, AXA offers a 12-month policy of $75, with a minimum premium. Generally, however, it is hard to say exactly how much art insurance costs\u2014it depends on too many factors. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\">Art insurance<\/a> is very reasonably priced compared to other types of insurance,\u201d Pittinger says. \u201cThe price range varies depending on the type of works, the size of the collection, security, where it is kept, if it is in a fine art storage warehouse or in their home or in a museum\u2014all those factors go into pricing a fine art collection.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Stay Up to Date and Be Careful<\/h2>\n<p>Broadly, in the event of damage, an insurance policy pays out in one of two ways: Either the policy will pay a set, agreed-upon amount determined by the insurer and the collector in advance, or the policy will pay out based on the work\u2019s current market value. Pittinger says collectors opting for the predetermined payout structure may do so for a number of reasons, including peace of mind so that they \u201cwouldn\u2019t have to worry about substantiating the value of the works\u201d in the case of damage. Agreed value can also move up and down over the life of a policy if the collector decides to get the work reassessed.<\/p>\n<p>Current market value is exactly what it sounds like: The work is insured for its current value if that figure exceeds an agreed value. \u201cBut the important thing to remember is there would be a restriction\u2014the company would by no means pay more than the total limit of the policy,\u201d says Pittinger. In other words, if a collection is insured for $10 million total, and one work that has radically increased in value is damaged in excess of $10 million, the insurance would still not pay more than the total cap.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Be a Smart Buyer<\/h2>\n<p>One final note: Do your research. Make sure you get a full condition report prior to purchase. \u201cIt\u2019s also critical that the collectors be careful with the provenance of the piece to make sure there\u2019s not a gap in the ownership that could come back to haunt them later,\u201d Pittinger says. If there is an issue and the work is seized for, say, having been looted by Nazis, insurance typically won\u2019t cover that turn of events (there are, however, some specialty insurers that would protect against such loss with what is known as title insurance). So when it comes to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\">art insurance<\/a>, the old adage \u201cbuyer beware\u201d certainly still applies.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Isaac Kaplan<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-author has-contributing-author\">ARTSY EDITORIAL<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-contributing-author\">BY ISAAC KAPLAN<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-date\">NOV 11TH, 2016<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-date\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-date\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/artinsurancenow.com\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-600\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"600\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/employee-damages-art-is-it-covered\/art_signature\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?fit=2236%2C250&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2236,250\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Art_Signature\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?fit=300%2C34&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?fit=474%2C53&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-600 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature-300x34.jpg?resize=300%2C34\" alt=\"Art_Signature\" width=\"300\" height=\"34\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?resize=300%2C34&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?resize=768%2C86&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?resize=1024%2C114&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.artinsurancenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Art_Signature.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/artinsurancenow.com\/#applications\">For a quote apply here<\/a> or call us at 800.921.1008<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many of us, amassing a robust collection of works by the artists we love is more a dream than a reality (though startups like Art Money are working to provide interest-free loans that should make buying art more manageable).
