Art Collections

Your art is close to your heart. And to ours.

You are an art collector and have invested a great deal of time and passion in your collection. You are an owner or a curator of a corporate collection and form the company image by your cultural activities. You are an art consultant and look after private and corporate collections.

Regardless of whether the collection is currently built up or already «complete». Wether at home or on your company premises, in your holiday home, at a restorer, framer or photographer or on loan at an exhibition.

The accurART Fine Art Insurance Policy

The insurance coverage of an accurART fine art insurance policy protects you from financial and emotional surprises.

Where an artwork has been destroyed or stolen, the accurART all-risk coverage compensates the loss. If your art object is damaged, we take care of the best possible restoration. If, however, a depreciation remains, this will also be compensated for.

Not an off-the-peg Fine Art Insurance

We do not offer any off-the-peg fine art insurance. Every art collection is unique, every art collector has individual needs. We take care of them and find the optimum balance between cost and coverage together with you.

We tip the scales with our many years’ experience and our network within the fine art insurance market.

Because your art is close to your heart. And to ours.

Museums and Exhibition Halls

You make art visible. The Fine Art Insurance is ours.
You run an art house and it is your concern to make art accessible. As Chief Financial Officer you focus on the finances of the museum. You curate ambitious exhibition projects. You realise these with your registrars and make sure, together with conservators and restorers, that your art collection is being exhibited and preserved.

We discreetly act in the background and back you up quickly, flexibly and professionally with our support. We are there for you, if you need us, and effectively relieve your team.

Your art collection, your loans and borrowings
The insurance of your art collection, your loan circuit, your permanent loans and your transports require expertise and sensitivity. We have both. Numerous national and international museums put their trust in us. Partnerships that we are proud of.

accurART exclusively works with specialised and renowned art insurers. Seizure, state guarantees, waiver of recourse or depreciation may not be foreign words. We take care of the entire business transactions with the risk carriers. In case of loss, we are at your side.

All-risk insurance from nail to nail

Our comprehensive fine art insurance concepts cover already the most important part of your insurance needs, through innovative extension of coverage and lump-sums. Against all-risks, from nail to nail. An oversight or carelessness thus do not necessarily imply a disaster.

We actively accompany your loan circuit and your projects. We become active wherever you would like it. The fact that we have also gained international significance facilitates communicating with your lenders and borrowers.

We speak your language. You make art visible. The Fine Art Insurance is ours.

Galleries and Art Trade

Personality and quality. Also our recipe for success.

As a gallerist of contemporary art, you are the gatekeeper for the young artists’ career. As art dealer you convey established values of Classical Modernists or have an unfailing eye for Old Masters, icons or tribal art. Your personality and the quality of your offer are the key to your success.

Everything what you also may expect from your fine art insurance, and even more from your fine art insurance broker.

accurART, your specialised Fine Art Insurance Broker

Whether you maintain traditional business models, or you are concerned with blockchains, art leasing or e-commerce. accurART knows how to comprehensively cover your financial risks. Art and commerce are not opposites for you. Neither for us.

The accurART all-risk coverage protects you against loss and damages.

Fine Art Insurance according to your business model

At the art storage, during the presentation or in transit from the artist to you. On view at potential buyers, during fine art fairs, art exhibitions or transports. Your own portfolio, works on consignment or on approval. The exhibition architecture, your archive or library. All this is covered by your insurance policy.

Your expenses will be kept within limits. As our individual approach assures, that coverage corresponds with your business model. Too much is too expensive. Too little can be expensive.

Not available off-the-peg. Personality and quality are also our recipe for success.
