Owning or collecting art is a source of pleasure every day. Emotions and memories are associated with each individual piece. This makes us all the more conscious of our responsibility to ensure that the assets we insure are protected efficiently.
In our insurance concepts, we always work on the assumption of a claim because in the end, that aspect is always the focus of attention.

As your art insurance brokers, we can support museums and protect their owners (in the case of public museums, all citizens or community members) from economic losses.
We do this primarily by carrying out a specific risk analysis, from which we can derive proposals for affordable and adequate risk management as well as putting together an insurance package adapted to the individual situation in question.
We are supporting members of Registrars Deutschland e.V.

Framing studios, restorers, art financiers, security firms and display-cabinet makers: art exhibitions would not be possible without them. They too bear responsibility for their work results and errors can be expensive for them.
We have always had to deal with the practical aspects and know the problems at first hand. For that reason we have expanded our portfolio to include insurance products that also offer a concept tailored to art-related service providers.
Economic security plays an important part in the preservation and protection of valuable objects. If this is lacking, the desired goal will not be achieved. We make sure that this will not happen.
