AXA Art Insurance Remains Committed to the Canadian Art Marketplace

Our Paris-based parent company, AXA Group, announced that it is selling its Canadian property & casualty and life Insurance businesses to the Canadian insurance company Intact Financial Corporation.

This decision does not affect AXA Art's ability to service its existing clients and to continue to grow its art insurance business in Canada. AXA Art Insurance, a global leader in insuring art and collectibles, remains committed to serving the Canadian art market and will continue to offer a comprehensive portfolio of customized art insurance products and related services to meet the growing demands of collectors, museums, galleries, corporations, trusts and traveling exhibitions in Canada.
