Insurance for artworks and collections
Comprehensive protection for what you value most
More than 20 years securing artworks for museums, foundations, galleries, and collectors.
We have more than 20 years of experience insuring artworks for museums, foundations, galleries, and collectors, both private and corporate. We specialize in a wide variety of collections, including everything from traditional paintings and sculptures to more diverse pieces like ivory miniatures, stamps, coins, clocks, manuscripts, wines, books, musical instruments, classic vehicles, and archaeological artifacts.
We have successfully developed some of the largest and most complex insurance operations for high-value temporary exhibitions for both private and state institutions, which have required significant insurance capacity. The management of these contracts has been complex, coordinating numerous local and international insurers, from the Lloyd's market as well as from continental markets.
Likewise, we have participated in the management of insurance for outdoor installations with fragile components, archaeology, jewelry, porcelain, including innovative coverages in their policies that have provided our clients with greater protection for their assets. Our clients have maintained their trust in us for years, increasing their insurance programs, which has allowed us to consolidate and expand our offering to the entire art market.
