Do you need to insure your art works and how?

Just like any other belongings, art works should be insured. You might have only a few paintings, sculptures and luxury article and your current insurance policy might be sufficient. Speak to your insurance broker in order to make sure that your coverage is adequate.

But if you have been collecting for a while or if you have inherited family possessions, it is recommended to have these evaluated by an expert. Some works can be worth much more today than at their acquisition time.

A collector who buys one or two pieces of art every year asked me recently to evaluate his collection. He was astonished with the results. His paintings and sculptures had doubled and even tripled in value over the years and he had never adjusted his insurance coverage! The document, a written evaluation and photographs, I provided him with allowed him to discuss a proper protection for his cultural estate with his insurance broker.
