TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LOAN AGREEMENT AND INSURANCE COVERAGE
PROOF OF VALUE IN THE CASE OF A LOSS
Art exhibits which are non-owned and non-permanent are
subject to the following valuation criteria:
▲ An
appraisal is requested for any artwork which is valued greater than $1,000.00. Insurance
will be placed in the amount specified by the lender which reflects fair market
value. If the lender fails to indicate an amount, the gallery, with the implied
concurrence of the lender, will set a value for the purposes of insurance for
the period of the loan. Said value is not considered an appraisal.
▲ Artists
and art collectors are expected to furnish proof of previous sales of similar
works, or appraisals in order to document the value of a loss. They will be
asked to furnish proof of cost for time and materials, photographs of the
artwork, appraisals of remaining works, etc., to substantiate the value of
their artwork at the time of loss.
The amount secured from the
gallery in accordance with this loan agreement is the sole recovery available
to the lender from the gallery in the event of loss or damage.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
RETURNS: Unless agreed to in writing this
loan terminates on the date specified on the face of this agreement.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
INSURANCE COVERAGE
BY LENDER/OWNER: If the lender/owner elects to maintain his/her
own insurance during the period of the loan, the University shall be supplied
with a certificate of insurance naming the University as an additional insured and
waiving subrogation against the University.
Otherwise, this loan agreement shall constitute a release of the University
from any liability in connection with the loaned property. The University accepts no responsibility for
any error or deficiency of information to the lender’s insurers or for lapses
in coverage.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
COPYRIGHT:
Unless the Gallery
is notified in writing to the contrary, it is understood that this loan may be
photographed and reproduced in the Gallery's publications and for publicity
connected with this exhibition.
May amateur and

generally well done; am curious what you take away as being most important about the contractual agreement between the gallery and the artist and how you would emphasize those elements in a simpler form?
