What Does Fine Art Insurance Cover?


Fine art insurance is designed to do what standard homeowners or commercial policies can't: provide tailored coverage for high-value, irreplaceable works. At Combs & Company, our fine art insurance policies typically cover:


  • Damage from fire, water, smoke, or vandalism
  • Theft, loss, or mysterious disappearance
  • Accidental breakage during handling or transport
  • Natural disasters, depending on location and policy specifics
  • Protection during domestic and international transit
  • Temporary coverage for exhibitions or loans



What sets us apart is our ability to coordinate with reputable carriers and appraisers to make sure your coverage aligns with the real-world value of your art. No blanket estimates. No overlooked fine print.

Is Art Insurance Worth It?


If your artwork holds value—monetary or sentimental—the short answer is: absolutely. Fine art insurance is about more than replacing a lost or damaged item; it’s about preserving a legacy.


Unlike traditional property insurance, which often imposes caps or excludes fine art altogether, a dedicated art insurance policy ensures:


  • Your claim reflects true market value
  • You’re protected during exhibitions, transport, or storage
  • You avoid gaps in coverage hidden in generic policies



At Combs & Company, we take the confusion out of insurance. With our deep expertise and consultative approach, clients don’t just get insured—they get peace of mind.

Insuring your artwork with Combs & Company is a streamlined process that balances detail with efficiency. We begin with a personalized consultation to understand the scope of your collection and risk profile. From there:

FAQs About Fine Art Insurance

  • What types of art can be insured under fine art insurance?

    Fine art insurance can cover a wide range of art forms including paintings, sculptures, photographs, mixed media, rare books, antique furniture, and even digital art (in some cases). At Combs & Company, we help clients insure both individual high-value pieces and entire collections, whether they’re privately owned or part of a gallery or estate.

  • Can I insure art that’s displayed in multiple locations?

    Yes. Our fine art insurance solutions can be tailored to cover artwork in multiple locations—such as primary residences, vacation homes, galleries, storage facilities, or even international venues. We ensure that coverage reflects the reality of where your art lives, travels, and is exhibited.

  • Does my homeowner’s insurance cover fine art?

    Most standard homeowner’s policies either exclude fine art or place extremely limited caps on coverage—often far below the actual value of the piece. Fine art insurance offers dedicated protection that accounts for the specific risks and value associated with collectible and irreplaceable items.

  • How is the value of my artwork determined for insurance purposes?

    We typically require a recent appraisal from a qualified professional to establish accurate insurable value. For some clients, we can also help coordinate the appraisal process. The valuation is essential to ensure you’re neither underinsured nor overpaying in premiums, and we guide you every step of the way.

  • What if I acquire new art—do I have to update my policy every time?

    Many fine art insurance policies include an automatic acquisition clause, giving you a grace period (usually 30 to 90 days) to notify your insurer of new pieces. That said, we recommend reviewing your policy with us regularly to make sure your coverage stays in step with your collection. Our proactive approach means you're never caught off-guard.
