Why Insure Art?Each piece of Art is unique and irreplaceable and some may cost a fortune or may have substantially high value owing to history, age and relevance. You would hate for anything to happen to your prized possessions, such as accidental damage, theft or acts of god. Any damage or loss to art has a financial and as well as sentimental impact. While the emotional aspect can only be healed in time, the Financial loss can be covered with a suitable art insurance policy in place.
