Services

BIRKENBIHL ASSEKURANZ works together with a number of leading international art insurers to produce bespoke insurance concepts for art dealers, museums and private or company collections all tailored to the individual, pertinent risk. An “all risks coverage” policy provides insurance cover during e.g. the exhibition, storage and transport of works of art or their storage at outside locations such as restorers. For those looking to insure highly valuable personal belongings, we can provide a tailored needs-oriented concept. We are happy to provide yearly or single policies.

In addition to other incidents, our insurance cover extends to damage and loss incurred following transport accidents, fire, lightening strike, natural disasters (such as floods, avalanches, landslides) explosions, normal breakage and damage (including wilful and / or malicious damage by third persons), theft by housebreaking, theft, robbery and loss.

Upon destruction of a work of art, we will replace the appraised insurance value; upon damage of the item(s), the costs of restoration. All claims are processed via the agent.

In addition, BIRKENBIHL ASSEKURANZ provides consultation relating to all security matters as well as assistance in all questions relating to packaging and transport.

As part of our intensive collaboration with expert evaluators, we are more than happy to provide assistance in the valuation of works of art.
