A warm welcome to Zilkens Fine Art Insurance Broker GmbH, your specialised insurance broker who finds answers to your art-related insurance questions.
We offer to find the best insurance for your art - at no cost to you.
Insurance products are complex. Being well-insured is therefore no easy task. There are numerous types of art insurance on offer, but which is the right one for your project?
It is often the case that the quality of insurance policies does not become evident until a claim arises. That is why, together with our customers, we prepare an individual insurance concept that is adapted sensitively to the respective customer’s project and describe to you the features of some of our individual insurance products.
Two characteristics define our brand essence. One is our love of art and the other is our customers’ absolute satisfaction. Only the consonance of these two factors makes us successful. Learn more about us

Now that everything ... read more
Following the discontinuation of the Fiac, Art Paris is increasingly establishing itself as a marketplace not only for the French middle market, observes Bettina Wohlfarth for the FAZ: "The fair offers galleries from the broad midfield a platform and sees itself as complementary to the top international fair in autumn, which has been organised by Art Basel for the past ... read more

It's now open - the 60th Venice Biennale and Stefan Kobel doesn't have much to say about it because it's officially an art event and not an art market event. Is that why there were hardly any gallery owners travelling? Apart from the many who happened to be there? Next weekend we will know the auction result of the Klimt painting from Vienna and in ... read more
There are days when you don't know whether it's even worth commenting on what's happening. That was the case after 24 February 2022, when Russia tried to take over Ukraine by military means against all international law; it was the case on 7 October last year, when Hamas attacked, raped, slaughtered or took hostages of peacefully celebrating people in Israel; and it has been the ... read more
A container ship hits a bridge pier at the harbour exit of Baltimore and a connection collapses, burying 6 people underneath and the insurance industry is thinking of USD 2 - 3 billion in insured losses. 10 days later, the earth shakes in Taiwan, a country with a very high insurance density (in other words: a lot of insurance is purchased) and there is talk ... read more
