Damaged Work Help Please, by stock on Feb 15, 2021 19:00:48 GMT 1, I commissioned this work from Isaac Brest, the material is Painter's tape on sheetrock, in artist's frame. I was uncomfortable not having glass over it (I kept the artist's frame) so I made sure to be extra careful with it. We had a remodel done and the work was damaged. That's life, luckily the builder said their insurance will "either pay for restoration or replacement."
I know how to value the work from working at a gallery and other experience, but I don't know how to in an insurance context or how it may differ. I have no experience with insurance claims for art damage (valuation issue, etc.), nor had work restored. I also don't know if it will effect resale down the line (I don't plan on selling this ever but I also didn't expect to be in a global pandemic so the information is helpful). Can I have insurance pay the value and I get it restored separately so I'm reimbursed and I can try to fix this? I'd really appreciate any advice to avoid any common mistakes in either the insurance/valuation/ restoration process. I don't want to settle/ make a mistake because I love this work.

Have you reached out to him yet? I ask as he might be able to assist and, well, avoiding Cady Noland issues is helpful when it comes to restoration.

I guess I can see if the insurance will cover shipping, etc. and they might have to pay more than the full cost of purchase. Maybe I can ask if there's a way to put glass on the frame too that won't detract from the work because it's going to get damaged again. I always get worried water or something will splash on it.
