Course questionnaire: what is the object worth, and who says so?

Every question, its answer and the reasoning

1. What does the agreed value of an artwork settle?

2. A deattributed work loses most of its value: an all risks property policy indemnifies that loss.

3. A perfectly restored work generally recovers its full value from before the damage.

4. What does a third expert appointed under the appraisal clause decide?

5. On old objects, the inherent vice exclusion removes from cover the most likely damage, the kind that comes from the material itself.

6. Why does a living artist complicate the settlement of a loss?
