Art Investments

Art has always been an asset class for risk neutral investors. But now more than ever the scope of art is inflating due to coming together of technology and art. This will surely increase the market value of the asset class.

  • Diversification and Global value
  • Capital Growth Potential
  • Inflation and Economic Downturn
  • Might be tax deductible

Luxury investments can fluctuate greatly from one year to the next, but art tends to retain its value, even amid economic downturns. It’s also an investment that maintains the same value from one country to the next. Using data from Masterworks.io, which tracks auction sales from Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips, Citi found that between 1985 and 2018 the art market as a whole has returned an average of 5.3% annually. Contemporary art has been the top performer, returning an average of 7.4% annually, while art from the Impressionist period has returned 5%.

However, the eye of the investment world has turned to Digital Art which is predicted to offer 500-800% returns over a 20-year period.

Investing in art is more of a calculative decision rather than just having a passion for art. It is looked upon as a source of investment that would yield handsome returns in time to come and rightly so, it does. To invest in art you need to be well informed regarding the prospects you invest in. You will need a list of insights for making successful investments, this is where we come in the picture.
