In most cases, that\u2019s nothing more than an imbursement equal to the price of paper and paint.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the value of the works you are dealing, this could equate to losses of hundreds of thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n<p><b>For a gallery policy\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gallery-specific policy on the other hand, will settle based on the consignment value, or the cost price paid for the art. Brownhill\u2019s gallery policy even comes with a 30% uplift as a policy benefit.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A gallery policy will also investigate whether any damaged or lost work can be restored, and will also offer the business owner support and assistance in the interim to minimise reputational damage.<\/p>\n<p><b>For shop and office policies<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to worldwide transit and international shipping, shop and office policies will not cover you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you are trading with a shop and office insurance policy, you will need to source an entirely separate marine or cargo policy to protect your works in transit overseas.<\/p>\n<p><b>For a gallery policy\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gallery policy can include the cover needed for worldwide transit and international shipping at a client\u2019s request, with policies that can be tailored according to their individual requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For shop and office policies<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, shop and office insurance policies will not extend to cover your goods at a third-party venue, fair or exhibition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This essentially means as soon as your artworks leave the premises of your gallery or studio, they are completely unprotected in the event of material damage or a public liability claim.<\/p>\n<p><b>For a gallery policy\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallery policies will offer this additional cover as standard, meaning you are just as covered off site as you are on site.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Final consideration\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an insurance provider offers gallery-specific policies, it\u2019s highly likely they have a greater knowledge of the art market, its dynamics and its nuances, than their peers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>They are more likely to have a greater passion for art in general too. As such, they will probably have a stronger sense of duty when it comes to applying real care on behalf of their clients.<\/p>\n<p>So when it comes to insuring your gallery, studio, or artworks you intend to trade, opt for a provider that is <i>au fait<\/i> with the world of art.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to discuss a gallery-specific insurance policy with someone from the Brownhill team, here\u2019s how you can <a href=\"http:\/\/loveartinsurance.co.uk\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the art world, many dealers and gallery owners don\u2019t realise their insurance isn\u2019t enough until it fails them.
