What Does a Fine Art Policy cover?  It covers the items on your property program that “cannot be replaced with other items of like kind and quality”  More specifically:  The expected:  “fine arts and collectible objects of every description including but not limited to paintings, etchings, drawings, photographs, ceramics, sculpture, pottery, porcelain, rugs, tapestries, statuary,”

What Does a Fine Art Policy cover? And the perhaps unexpected:  rare books, coins, manuscripts,  other bona fide works of art,  rarity (natural history specimens and artifacts),  historic value,  or artistic merit,  and all associated property including but not limited to frames, glasses, shadow boxes, crates and other display equipment,

What Does a Fine Art Policy cover?  Property of the Insured; Property of others offered as gifts to the Insured or for sale to the Insured and while awaiting formal acceptance; Property of others offered as gifts to the Insured or for sale to the Insured and while awaiting formal acceptance; The Insured’s interest in residuary gifts and jointly owned property, but only to the extent of the Insured’s interest at the time of loss or damage; The Insured’s interest in residuary gifts and jointly owned property, but only to the extent of the Insured’s interest at the time of loss or damage; Property of others loaned to the Insured which the Insured has been instructed to insure.” Property of others loaned to the Insured which the Insured has been instructed to insure.”

Fine Art Coverage  Additionally Fine art policies cover such items:  On your premises  At other unnamed locations  While in transit  Worldwide

Valuation  Current Market Value of the item or the amount agreed to with the owner of the item.  Versus: Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value or Scheduled Value

Common Misconceptions  In order to obtain a fine art policy you will need to:  1- create an itemized valued inventory that will have to be constantly up-dated and endorsed on the policy – wrong – coverage is blanket  2- have everything appraised first – wrong – valuation is current market value at time and place of loss  3 – We don’t have a state owned museum so we don’t have any fine art – wrong every state has some amount of fine art

Where are the fine art exposures?  State controlled universities and colleges  Special Collections section of state and university libraries – huge value in rare books and manuscripts  State archives  Museums  Historical Societies  State Capital building  Offices and court houses  Governor’s Mansion  State owned research facilities

Other Benefits  Fine art rates are generally lower than property rates  Increased capacity at highly valued locations  Decreased TIV reported to the property markets  Ultimately the cost of the fine art policy might be offset with saving on the property policy

More Benefits  No need to individually report transit exposures on a open cargo policy  Benefit of specialist adjustors, restorers and appraisers in the event of a loss  Very low deductibles – removing these exposures from self funded retentions under the property program

Where to start  Review Property SOV  Identify known and potential locations  Discuss estimated TIV with Key Locations  Ascertain estimated TIV at secondary locations  Top ten items at key locations  Cope contained on SOV  Facility reports and existing property inspection reports  Websites
