Art Fair Security in London — Frieze, Masterpiece & The Connoisseur Set
The short version: Art Fair Security in London — Frieze, Masterpiece & The Connoisseur Set — 2026-rated SIA cover, insured. short-notice cover, subject to availability in London, nationwide by arrangement.
Art fairs concentrate seven-figure decisions in a small room across four days. Collectors, dealers and consignors all need cover — most of it invisible, all of it briefed.
Private View Cover
VIP preview is the most concentrated risk window of the week. CPO walks with collector from car to booth, manages introductions, manages exit. No paparazzi confrontations.
Sold-Lot & Transit Security
Once a work is sold, the chain of custody changes. We coordinate with the fair's logistics partner and the buyer's freight forwarder; insurance certificates matched before the lot leaves the booth.
Dealer Booth Standby
For dealers showing seven-figure stock, a discreet uniformed officer at the booth during opening hours is now standard. Deterrence, not theatre.
After-Hours Dinners
Mayfair gallery dinners (Hauser & Wirth, White Cube, Gagosian) covered with table-side CPO and pre-booked verified cars. Driver fully briefed on the collector's hotel route.
Pricing — Art Fair Week
Single collector full-week cover (2 CPOs rotational + driver): priced per assignment. Dealer booth standby (10 hours/day, 4 days): priced per assignment.
