- In the West, there is insurance owner from mistakes
expert. In Russia there is something like that?
- The service is professional liability insurance
art experts in the West there ,
but not very common . In our country, such services
insurance companies are not available , since there is no
standardized and recognized procedures
natural result of which would be
reliable conclusions about the authenticity .

Such services do exist , provided reassurance , but not everyone will be able to get reassurance on the west.
I wonder if there were precedents receive the insurance payment in ArtKonsaltinga - or they have never made ​​mistakes ?
 
From the site ArtKonsalting " Liability of experts for the results of studies carried out by the standards of Art Consulting , insured against unintentional errors and omissions companies ' INGOSSTRAKH " and " Alfa Insurance » "http://www.artcons.ru/experty/index.html

 "One of the biggest advantages of" Art Consulting "- this is what their expertise recognizes and accepts the western market reinsurers , - said the representative of" AlfaStrakhovanie . " - Also, " Art Consulting " has the opportunity to answer for his mistake because the liability of insured, while separately taken the expert shall not be liable for their mistakes . " With Irina Karnaevoy agrees director of the cultural values ​​of the company , " Marsh - Insurance Brokers" Olga Seravkin : "At the present time, " Art Consulting " - in fact the only independent institution in Russia , whose ratings are accepted by Western insurers. Evaluations of individual experts , auction houses or doing some examination bodies such as the center of them . IE Grabar accepted western insurers , in particular because they are discredited by a lot of mistakes . " http://www.artcons.ru/press/ocenit.html
