Buy and Sell Shares

Historically, art investments typically lacked any consistent access to liquidity. Introduced in early 2020, our Secondary Market is the first online platform to enable the buying and selling of art investments, providing the potential for liquidity when life demands it.

Higher Appreciation Rate and Low Correlation

calculated the long-term correlation coefficient of 0.12 between Art and the S&P 500 Index, which is a very low level of correlation. This is why we believe that contemporary art plays a key role in diversifying any portfolio.

Art as a Hedge Against Inflation

Inflation hit a 40 year high in 2022, reaching levels above 7%. Contemporary Art has demonstrated strong real appreciation in high inflation periods, and appears well positioned for a medium to high inflation environment.
