31 August 2023
This summer we have experienced . We have seen climate change cause significant damage to property and insured goods, and impact commercial contracts.
Considered the new norm, this could also have a damaging effect on fine art. … the risk that extreme weather poses on fine art is significant, particularly in disaster-prone markets such as North America. For example, earthquake-prone California continues to face wildfires, .
Whilst cover for fine art is very often capped in an all risks policy, insurers may want to consider:
- obligations requiring insureds to take additional steps to protect work, such as using protective materials or specialist storage or placement solutions;
- requesting condition reports to assess the likelihood and susceptibility to damage in the event of extreme weather;
- agreeing to send alerts before weather events;
- requiring insureds to create disaster plans that further require steps to be taken to mitigate the likelihood of damage;
- alarming an insured to take objects to secure storage facilities;
- increasing insurance deductibles and excesses; and
- applying restrictions on transit coverage when transporting fine art collections during episodes of extreme weather.
