As the art market continues to evolve, so too does the landscape of risk, valuation, and coverage. Join David Shapiro, AAA, of David Shapiro Fine Art Appraisal + Advisory, for an insightful session that begins with an art-market update—highlighting key trends, sales, and shifts shaping collector behavior today. From there, we’ll explore why these changes matter for brokers, underwriters, and insureds alike, examining the critical “nuts and bolts” of fine art appraisal for insurance purposes. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how value is defined, the nuances of different appraisal types, and how accurate valuations support better coverage and claims outcomes.
