<\/div>

Anyone can purchase Art Insurance, who has an insurable interest in the piece of art such as a sculpture, painting, or print. Insurable interest of the insurance buyer simply means that as a consequence of damage to the insured art, the person paying for the insurance will suffer a monetary loss.<\/p>\n

Insurable interest of an Art Collector<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An individual, who buys art with the intention of re-selling it to a bigger buyer, might have an insurable interest in the art, and so he can buy art insurance.<\/p>\n

Insurable interest of an Art Gallery Owner<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A person who displays the art of a famous artist in his art gallery, to find a better price for it, by arranging a \u2018buyer – seller\u2019 meet in the gallery, to have an insurable interest in the art.<\/p>\n

Case on Buyer\u2019s Eligibility for Art Insurance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Consider the case of Kush. Kush is an art collector who bought a few paintings from a well-known artist known as Kartik. Kush\u2019s brother Abhishek is an insurance agent. Abhishek wants to gift the insurance policy to Kush after 3 months that is on Kush\u2019s business anniversary date.<\/p>\n

In this case, Abhishek cannot buy the insurance all by himself. As he has no insurable financial interest in the painting.<\/p>\n

In another case, let us assume that Kush is an art gallery owner who has stored Kartik\u2019s work of art in his gallery. Kush is worried about the art being spoilt, stolen, or damaged because recently, there have been cases of vandalism in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Kush\u2019s friend Amit visits his gallery to say \u2018Hi\u2019 and he sees Kush in a worried state. Kush invites Amit for a cup of coffee and tells him about his predicament. Amit says – do not worry, I owe you some money anyway. So let me buy an Art Insurance Policy<\/a> for your art gallery as well as the art stored in it. Kush agrees and thanks to Amit for his generosity.<\/p>\n

Amit cannot buy the insurance policy for Kush\u2019s art gallery as he doesn’t have an insurable interest in its welfare. However, Kush himself can insure the gallery and the pieces owned by him.<\/p>\n

Genuine insurable or financial interest must prove at the time of purchase of Art Insurance if such an interest exists.<\/p>\n
