At AXA Art, we pride ourselves on an individual approach to each risk; therefore, we welcome you to discuss particular requirements you may have. Please get in touch with us directly to discuss your individual insurance needs.
Personal Fine Art, Jewelry and Collectibles Coverage
We understand the collector's passion and desire for expert service, responsiveness and absolute confidentiality. We cater to those needs while writing policies that are as individualistic as the collectors themselves. Because we understand the risks involved far better than a non-specialist insurer, we can generally provide important benefits. For example, we can often be flexible in our rating for certain large collections based on one probable maximum loss, providing the insured with sufficient coverage yet at a significant cost savings over less sensitive plans. Our underwriters are highly qualified fine art and collectibles professionals who will understand a collector's needs and the many insurance options open to them. They will make the task of providing the right coverage easy for you and simple for your client.
Exhibition Coverage
As the world's leading fine arts and collectibles insurer, we thoroughly understand the many complex and delicate issues involved in exhibiting, borrowing, handling and shipping fine art. Our coverage is genuinely worldwide and as flexible as you wish. It is generally wall to wall — that is, starting when it is removed from its place of residence until it is returned — and covers just about everything in between but government seizure or nuclear hazard. Because we understand the risks involved, we can provide virtually any type of coverage imaginable — at extremely competitive rates.
Museum Coverage
We are insurance and art professionals and we understand the many complex and delicate issues involved in exhibiting, conserving, and handling and shipping fine art, including objects from a museum's collection as well as objects on loan. We are a large-capacity insurer and our underwriters understand that museums have to contend with large volume and small budgets. We are renowned to be creative and flexible to accommodate those we insure. Working as a team, our underwriters share their expertise to bring forth the very best solutions for comprehensive policies — and most of all achieve important cost-efficiencies for the institutions as well.
Corporate Fine Art Coverage
We are experts in the insurance of fine art and collectibles and we appreciate the numerous benefits of a corporate collection to a company's well-being and corporate culture. You will find that we thoroughly understand the many complex and delicate issues involved in handling a large collection. In addition to broad, worldwide coverage we offer automatic coverage on newly acquired objects of up to 25 percent of the total policy limit with a 90 day-reporting obligation. Our coverage is extremely flexible — we welcome small and large collections and tailor our terms and conditions to fit the needs of those we insure. For example, we cover a collection's works of art whether on corporate premises or in private homes.
Fine Art Dealer Coverage
Our focus on fine art and collectibles allows us to better serve the specific needs of those we insure. Our underwriters follow collecting trends and fluctuations in the art market. They understand that galleries are in the business of installing and de-installing shows at short notice. We are usually able to bind coverage on both large and small risks over the telephone. Because we share a collector's interest in and passion for fine art and collectibles and understand the risks involved, we can provide virtually any type of coverage imaginable — at extremely affordable rates.
Historic Property Program
We are pleased to offer a special insurance program designed specifically for Historic Properties. Many Historic Properties are themselves works of art. As such, they are expressions of a life-ethic, a bygone era that inspires artists still today. Prime examples of these structures demonstrate the artistic flair of the men and women who designed them, built them, furnished them and lived in them.
