Art Insurers in the US, by Michael Jacob on Jun 19, 2008 18:55:00 GMT 1, I use State Farm and theyve been great to work with. Its an additional policy to what I have for Home and Auto. Its about $50,000 of art specific coverage for about $130 a year. It includes theft and damage, even if my kids ruin something. Its a nice piece of mind. The have pictures and appraisals for each piece of art.

not bad at all.
does this cover in transit also? How did you go about getting them appraised?

Art Insurers in the US, by lee3 on Jun 19, 2008 20:25:27 GMT 1, I use Chubb, no questions asked insurer. You only need appraisals for work over $100k and as long as your art is scheduled, they will pay 150% of the replacement cost so that you don't need to keep getting appraisals all the time.
Scheduled art through Chubb costs $0.21 (21 cents) per thousand dollars of insured art per year in California. You're covered in transit, framers, almost everything. HIGHLY reccomended

It's definitely worth giving him a call. Very professional and great customer service.

Art Insurers in the US, by Michael Jacob on Jun 19, 2008 21:39:37 GMT 1, Im not sure about transit, but I would assume its covered. I had a local antique appraiser do the appraisals. It was nice, because they let me supply them copies off the internet (ie ebay sales, auctions, etc) to get a fair value. Hope that helps.

helps a lot actually. a "professional" appraiser wanted to charge $120/hr which includes time to do the research. F that. Definitely going to try what you did. thx again.
quote from TAOI is also on the way
