Damages to Artworks from Unbelievable Accidents Fuel Discussions at AXA ART Booth during Art Toronto
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/24/16 -- AXA ART welcomes Art Toronto 2016 and is delighted to sponsor the fair for the ninth year as Official Art Insurer. Art Toronto's presentation of important works of art from Canadian and international galleries, combined with a rich series of lectures and panel discussions, provides the perfect experience for connoisseurs and novice collectors.
AXA ART operates on the ethos that art should be appreciated, shared and secured to benefit future generations. To support the protection of works of art, AXA ART uses its booth to present topics which promote care. This year, the Art is Fragile display depicts objects damaged by unbelievable accidents. Each example is a selection from a larger salvage collection housed in one of their various offices around the world. The specialist insurer shares these scenarios as a means to highlight the importance of focusing on caring for works of art. This is also why in addition to maintaining the value of art through specialist policies, AXA ART shares advice on risk prevention methods through a variety of approaches, such as establishing best practices for art storage facilities and art shippers and making available a portfolio of material on caring for all categories of art and collectibles.
Iris Handke, newly appointed Country Manager for AXA ART in Canada said, "Our day to day business activities involve supporting art collectors as they seek to preserve objects of art. We invite guests of Art Toronto to visit with us and bring their questions".
Director of Art Toronto, Susannah Rosenstock, shares, "We are honoured to receive the continued support of AXA ART, a leader in the art insurance profession. Their passion and dedication to the preservation of cultural objects is unparalleled and their experts are a great asset to our collectors, galleries and museum partners. It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome AXA ART to Art Toronto!"
