Friedman<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">The original article appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/how-to-protect-your-art-from-damage-11610038775?mod=searchresults_pos1&amp;page=1\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> on January 11, 2021.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"article-content article-center \">\n<p>Finding a perfect piece of art to fill that blank space in your home can be like the proverbial needle in a haystack. But once you own it, how do you protect that painting or sculpture? Protection includes insurance, for sure, but it means more than just securing a policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollectors should know that risk management starts from the point of financial acquisition, even before they take physical possession of the piece,\u201d said Laura Doyle, vice president, jewelry and valuable collections manager for Chubb Personal Risk Services in New York. \u201cDo your due diligence, including inquiring about provenance and condition, and buy from reputable sources. And it\u2019s critical to keep protection top of mind when displaying your artwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<div class=\"media-object type-InsetNewsletterSignup wrap scope-web|mobileapps article__inset article__inset--type-InsetNewsletterSignup article__inset--wrap\" data-layout=\"wrap \" data-layout-mobile=\"inline\">\n<div id=\"webui_newsletter_inset\" class=\"webui-newsletter-inset\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div id=\"estate\" class=\"ArticleInsetNewsletterCard--newsletter-card-container-2GnNXjTI7DexTep6Qis6jQ \">\n<div class=\"ArticleInsetNewsletterCard--card-container-3VXU1TS3nFYBuuf9q3mP8e \">\n<div class=\"ArticleInsetNewsletterCard--card-preview-container-2mEOUfGQBlj6H8uBpaphAY \">\n<div class=\"ArticleInsetNewsletterCard--card-subscribed-toggle-2KDMDxN4LCkAFSuDczurXa \">One of the easiest ways homeowners can protect valuable pieces is to be judicious when selecting spots to display them. That blank wall above your fireplace mantel might seem like a perfect focal point for your latest acquisition, for example. But experts advise caution.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re going to use the fireplace once a year, then it probably won\u2019t matter,\u201d said Kipton Cronkite, an art adviser and curator in Los Angeles. \u201cBut if you\u2019re using it often, the heat can damage a canvas, photograph or print. In that case, consider hanging a less valuable piece above the mantel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>R. Couri Hay learned the hard way how easy it is for a piece to get damaged. Mr. Hay, a New York-based publicist, owns a 10-foot by 6-foot Andy Warhol lightbox. It was a gift from Mr. Warhol that Mr. Hay estimates is worth in the mid-to-high six figures. It was damaged when it fell off the wall because it was improperly hung. His hand-carved 20-foot-tall totem pole was decapitated by a gardener trimming wisteria on a nearby trellis. And, when his house in Southampton burned to the ground about 10 years ago, he lost a \u201chouseful of art,\u201d including a painted door created by Keith Haring that was worth over $1.5 million\u2014and wasn\u2019t separately insured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was absolutely crushed to lose the art in the fire because these things had been collected over many years,\u201d said Mr. Hay. \u201cYour art collection becomes part of who you are. It\u2019s a true reflection of your personality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Hay had his handyman hang the Andy Warhol lightbox, and it wasn\u2019t secured properly, as he found out later. \u201cI should have called the Met to get a reference to having it hung,\u201d he said. Professional art hangers ensure that pieces are hung on picture hooks with an adequate weight rating and secured in the studs if they weigh over 50 pounds, rather than hanging them from a single nail, which can easily detach from the wall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"media-object type-InsetPullQuote inline scope-web|mobileapps article__inset article__inset--type-InsetPullQuote article__inset--inline\" data-layout=\"inline \" data-layout-mobile=\"\">\n<div class=\"wsj-article-pullquote article__inset__pullquote \">\n<p class=\"pullquote-content article__inset__pullquote__quote\">\u2018Your art collection becomes part of who you are.

Join the conversation below.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Experts such as Mr. Cronkite recommend that art be hung out of direct sunlight. \u201cFor oil and acrylic paintings, it is not such a big deal,\u201d he said. \u201cBut when it comes to prints and photography, you need to keep them out of direct sunlight or use UV glass to reduce fading.\u201d While regular glass protects your art from dust and scratches, frames with museum-quality glass or plexiglass block up to 99% of UV light rays. Homeowners should evaluate their wall space at different times to ensure there are no surprises in the fall when the sun hits a different place than it did in the summer when the art was hung. The humidity level of the room is important, as well, Mr. Cronkite said; keep photos and prints out of bathrooms.<\/p>\n<p>While it might not always be possible to protect artwork from harm\u2014just ask collectors in California who lost their homes to wildfires\u2014it is possible to protect your investment. Ms. Doyle, of Chubb, recommends that collectors insure their artwork under a valuables policy that provides world-wide, all-risk coverage with no deductible. Covered pieces must be appraised and itemized in the policy, and appraisals should be updated regularly to keep up with market fluctuations. The cost of a valuable articles policy for a personal art collection varies by location, risk of natural disasters, the value of the collection, and whether there is central-station security and fire detection, with 24\/7 monitoring by an alarm company. She said a personal art collection valued at $1 million would cost between $1,000 and $3,500 annually to insure with Chubb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Secure insurance early.<\/strong>\u00a0Laura Doyle, of Chubb, said the risk of loss transfers to a buyer when final payment is made. That is when insurance should be in place. Buyers must make plans for crating, transit and installation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Transport properly.<\/strong>\u00a0Use a shipping or moving company that specializes in fine art to pack and ship your pieces. Stay away from general movers. They may not have experience handling fragile or high-value objects. \u201cNever assume that the movers are going to treat your art as delicately as you will,\u201d said art adviser Kipton Cronkite. Get referrals from your art gallery, your insurance company, an art consultant or a local art museum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Take special care with heavy or unusual pieces.<\/strong> For heavy sculptures or delicate lighting installations, consider placing furniture in front of the piece to prevent guests from getting too close to it\u2014similar to the ropes used by museums. That way, the furniture provides an additional line of defense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"printheadline\">Appeared in January 8, 2021, print edition as &#8216;The Art of Protecting It collection care.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Keep Your Art Safe From Damage, Both Natural and Man-made Protecting your artwork begins the moment you buy it, says one art [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1974],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recent-press"],"acf":{"full_width":false,"header_transparent":false,"header_white":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wall Street Journal | How to Keep Your Art Safe From Damage, Both Natural and Man-made - R.
