1. INSURANCE
(a) The DECLARED VALUE is the value stated by the Lender. If the artwork is insured by the City, declared values
must represent the current fair market value (established by current sales and or appraisals) for such work at the
time the work is insured under the City’s insurance policy. If any portion of the work is destroyed or damaged, the
City and its insurer reserve the right to substantiate the value of the work damaged prior to settling a claim. If the
work is industrially fabricated (for example, photographs) and can be replaced to the Lender’s specifications, the
amount of the insurance shall be limited to the cost of such replacement.

(b) Unless the Lender expressly elects to maintain its own insurance, the City will insure the work, but only while it is
in the City’s care, custody or control (including during shipping, if checked above), subject to the terms and
conditions of the City’s insurance policy. In no event will the City be liable to Lender for damages in excess of the
amount of any insurance recovery from the City’s insurance policy, nor for any loss or damage due to causes
excluded from coverage under the City’s insurance policy. A certificate of insurance can be provided upon
request.
(c) If the Lender elects to maintain its own insurance during the period of the loan, the City will not be responsible
for any errors or deficiencies in information furnished to the lenders insurers or for any lapses in coverage, and the
City accepts no responsibility for damaged artwork, except in cases involving negligence by the City or its
employees, volunteers or agents.
(d) If the Lender is the creator of the work and the work is damaged while in the possession of the City, the Lender
will repair the artwork, if possible, and the City will reimburse the cost of any materials and reasonable labor
charges, unless such damage was due to the negligence of the Lender,
2. DELIVERY, POSSESSION AND RETURN OF ARTWORK
(a) If work is being shipped to the Lincoln Center, the City will only accept work that is sent in reusable crates or
cartons. Unless otherwise arranged in writing, the City will return all work via the same carrier that the Lender
used to deliver the work. The Lender must ensure that its packages meet the shipper’s standards. The City will
ship back in the same containers or crates. If the original crate is damaged the City will notify the Lender and
repair if damage is minor. There may be a charge if the repairs are expensive or a new crate is necessary.
(b) Two-dimensional work must be delivered suitable for hanging (i.e. wire on back). Lincoln Center will attach
security hardware to 2-D work when applicable which may result in small holes drilled into the back of the

all reasonable efforts and through no fault of its own, is unable to return the work within sixty days after such
termination, the City shall have the absolute right, but no obligation, to place the work in storage, to charge
storage fees, and to have and enforce a lien for such fees and costs. If after one year, the work shall not have
been reclaimed, then, and in consideration of its storage and safeguarding during such period, the work shall
be conclusively deemed to be an unrestricted gift to the City and the Lender hereby authorizes the City to
dispose of the work as it sees fit, without order of or report to any court or agency.
