<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Artwork is one of the best alternative investments to pair with a traditional stock portfolio. It has historically high returns and is uncorrelated with the stock market, which helps diversify your investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary drawback to art investing \u2014 that it\u2019s hard to get into \u2014 isn\u2019t the case anymore due to the rise of online art investing platforms that are accessible to everyday investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the advantages of modern art investing are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Historically high returns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diversification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low correlation with the stock market<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to get started<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.uk3lpwm6a65x\"><strong>Art Investment Companies: An Easier Way to Invest in Art <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The barrier to entry to investing in artwork used to be very high. Nowadays, online platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/masterworks?utm_content=investing-in-artwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Masterworks<\/a> (devoted completely to art + collectibles) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/public\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public<\/a> (an all-in-one investing site that allows you to invest in stocks, bonds, and assets like art) let anyone invest in art shares, so you can capture the benefits of investing in artwork without having to shell out tons of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll cover online platforms later in the article, but first, I want to talk about why you should seriously consider adding a fine art investment to your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.i0t9ojhx9782\"><strong>Why Invest in Art? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in art is a good idea if you typically only invest in ordinary assets like stocks and bonds. Art investments add diversification to your investment portfolio and could potentially produce high returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.4tm9nm3jxxsq\"><strong>Diversification<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best reasons to invest in art is because it is uncorrelated to the stock market. That means that it is unlikely for both your stock investments and your art investments to be down at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having both art and stocks in your portfolio smooths out your returns over time and reduces your portfolio\u2019s overall volatility, which is good for peace of mind and predictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.s6jkngt8am67\"><strong>High Potential Returns<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue chip artwork has historically returned hundreds to thousands of percent. Now, that isn\u2019t likely to happen and shouldn\u2019t be your main focus with art investing, but it is always good to expose yourself to the potential for tremendous upside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without astronomical returns, a well-selected collection of art investments tends to outperform stocks. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artprice.com\/artmarketinsight\/artprice-launches-its-blue-chip-art-market-index-artprice100-designed-for-financiers-and-investors-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Artprice100 Index has gained 360% since 2000<\/a>, while the S&amp;P 500 has returned about 247% over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/tradingview-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image2-6.png\" alt=\"Image2\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.xo74y8syfa43\"><strong>How to Invest in Art <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to invest in artwork the old-fashioned way by purchasing art directly, you have a lot of work to do. The following sections cover the painstaking process of finding the right piece to invest in, bidding, and storing the piece if you\u2019re lucky enough to get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.p24yr6ghm0id\"><strong>Research<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Art investing and stock investing both require research, but the research needed for art investing is much more labor-intensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, you have to find pieces for sale. If you decide you want to invest in a stock, you can buy shares from someone who wants to sell their shares on the stock market. Most of the time, the transaction is quick and easy. Not so with art investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to contact art dealers and auction houses to find artwork for sale, and often, you\u2019ll have to wait to speak with someone unless you are playing with serious cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a repository of available pieces, you still need to figure out which ones might be good investments. Unless you\u2019re an art expert, you\u2019ll have to hire an expert to advise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.2jn6iksum9g6\"><strong>Seek Out Experts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding an art appraiser is another step that you don\u2019t have to do when you invest in stocks. If you can\u2019t judge the authenticity of a piece yourself, you need an expert to assess the art for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This adds to the effective cost of the fine art investment, especially because you probably want to hire more than one expert to take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expert advice isn\u2019t strictly necessary, but not consulting someone who knows art is asking for trouble. Without an expert opinion, art investing becomes much riskier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.mox5zu5k3evs\"><strong>Establish a Budget<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t mind doing tons of research and hiring an art expert to help you appraise a piece, budget is where most people lose their enthusiasm for traditional art investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can, of course, invest in art from emerging artists for just a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, but the pieces in that price range are unlikely to appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some ways, artwork in the $100\u2013$2,500 range is the equivalent of penny stocks: it\u2019s great when it works out, but you\u2019re essentially buying a lottery ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art from established artists is going to be much more expensive, typically in the $10,000 to $100,000 range. And if you want something from a famous artist, you better have millions to drop. Top-of-the-line artwork can easily fetch $100 million or more at auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of auctions, you\u2019ll have to pay an additional 10% to 25% on top of the price of the piece if you buy art at an auction. These additional fees cover the cost of running the auction and quickly add up when you\u2019re talking about art north of $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.iolvf6ps1up9\"><strong>Keep the Art Safe <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you find a piece you\u2019re interested in, get it inspected by an expert, and have the budget to make the purchase. Then what? You can\u2019t just keep an expensive piece of art on the wall in your living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people display art they invest in, but most people store it somewhere safe. Fine art investments are often stored in specialized facilities with climate controls and round-the-clock security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the piece you invest in is smaller, you could also keep it at home or in a safety deposit box at your bank, but neither of those locations have careful climate controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re Mr. or Mrs. Moneybags and can afford to invest in a priceless piece of art, you could also loan your piece to a museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art collectors often loan pieces from their collections to museums in exchange for the museum maintaining and protecting the art. If this sounds like something you want to do, let\u2019s be real: this isn\u2019t the article for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.rt0b2or0ub13\"><strong>Where to Find Investment-Grade Art <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest places to find investment-grade art are art galleries and auctions. Galleries routinely sell their pieces to generate revenue, and auction houses are in the business of selling expensive items like investment-grade artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure of where to find art galleries and auction houses, the experts I mentioned before should be able to help. Anyone with experience in art circles can tell you about reputable places to find high-quality \u2014 ahem, expensive \u2014 art you can invest in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.buy9e9word2k\"><strong>The Risks of Fine Art Investing <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in fine art comes with several risks. Forgeries and frauds are a real concern since it can be hard to distinguish the best fakes from the originals, even for experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another risk is that art is a highly illiquid asset. That means that you won\u2019t be able to sell your priceless painting for cash quickly if you need the money. Stock investments are very liquid, so quickly selling them is usually a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.12fwthimqtx5\"><strong>Safer Ways to Invest in Art<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, the safest way to get into art investing safely is to use an online platform like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/public\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public<\/a>. These platforms let you partially own pieces of art instead of owning an entire piece yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you don\u2019t need as much money to get started and can lower your risk by investing in multiple pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be great if there were an art ETF you could invest in, but unfortunately, there isn\u2019t one. Artwork is highly illiquid, so it\u2019s all but impossible to create an ETF that tracks the prices of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fair price for art isn\u2019t known until a sale is made, which means the ETF\u2019s price would be flat most of the time and experience big swings suddenly when one of the pieces in the fund gets sold \u2014 not exactly what most investors are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.64je7zff5dei\"><strong>Seek Out an Art Investment Platform <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Art investment companies make art investing accessible to everyone by treating art investments like regular stock investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of purchasing art directly, these platforms let you purchase art shares. The process is just like stock investing, except you\u2019re buying shares in a piece of valuable art instead of buying shares of a valuable company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in investing in artwork but don\u2019t have the capital to buy a piece outright \u2014 and, let\u2019s be honest, who does? \u2014 you should check out the following platforms. I\u2019ve found that they\u2019re the easiest to use and are great for art investing beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Masterworks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How has the art investing platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/masterworks?utm_content=investing-in-artwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Masterworks<\/a> been able to realize a profit for investors with each of its 21 exits to date?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example: An exited Banksy was offered to investors at $1.03 million after acquisition.

It also provides limited access to fine art investments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/public\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image1-6.png\" alt=\"Image1\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, Public only has six art stocks available. If you\u2019re just looking to dip your toe into the art investment pool, that might not be an issue for you, but there are hardly enough options to satisfy a more serious investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that Public has going for it is that you can invest in traditional and alternative investments on the same platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public lets you buy stocks, ETFs, crypto, and alternative asset classes like fine art all in one place. That\u2019s very convenient and makes managing your portfolio much simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of alternative asset classes, another cool thing about Public is that it has less common investment opportunities. You can, for example, invest in a rare sneaker collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not something you\u2019ll find on most investment platforms and makes Public stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/public\" style=\"background-color:#446bca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Check out Public<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.52jnqiyjnxll\"><strong>Yieldstreet<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another platform you should consider is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/yieldstreet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yieldstreet<\/a>. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the minimum investment on Yieldstreet is $10,000, so it\u2019s not a great place to start if you don\u2019t have a lot of money to invest in art.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/yieldstreet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image3-6.png\" alt=\"Image3\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Yieldstreet offers art investing in both individual pieces and diversified art funds. These art funds have different minimum values and contain different pieces of art. I like that they\u2019re automatically diversified, but I don\u2019t love the fact that you can\u2019t choose your own investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, Yieldstreet is offering its Art Equity Fund V, which has a minimum investment of $15,000 and a 60-month term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re serious about art investing, Yieldstreet is a good choice. But if you\u2019re just starting out, the high minimums and rigidity of investing in one of their pre-made funds make it more intimidating than Public, in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/yieldstreet\" style=\"background-color:#446bca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Check out Yieldstreet<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.qb15l3580o02\"><strong>Final Word: Investing in Artwork<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding art investments to your portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other traditional asset classes is the perfect way to capture more upside than you\u2019ll find in those markets and diversify your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returns on art investments are historically higher than returns on traditional stocks and bonds, although you do take on more risk to capture those returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The safest \u2014 and easiest \u2014 way to get started investing in artwork is to sign up for an online art investing platform like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/masterworks?utm_content=investing-in-artwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Masterworks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/public\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/yieldstreet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yieldstreet<\/a>.

Art investments add diversification and upside potential to your portfolio, so they\u2019re an excellent addition to a portfolio of traditional asset classes.<\/p>\n<p>Directly investing in art is difficult since the art market is illiquid and fraught with risks from fraud and forgeries. Investing in art through a platform like Public or Yieldstreet captures most of the benefits of art investing and eliminates the downsides that come from investing in artwork directly.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How do I start investing in artwork?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Getting started in art investing is easy if you do it through an online art investment platform like Public or Yieldstreet. If you want to purchase art the old-fashioned way, you\u2019ll have to find a gallery or auction near you, consult art experts to avoid buying low-quality or faked pieces, and shell out anywhere from a few thousand to a few million dollars.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Why is investing in artwork a risky investment?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Artwork is expensive, hard to sell quickly, and subject to unpredictable returns, which makes it a suitable investment only for people with a lot of money. If you can\u2019t afford to lose $10,000 or more on a speculative art investment, fine art investing is not for you.<\/p>\n<p>A much better way to invest in art is to use an online platform that lets you buy shares of artwork instead of buying entire pieces. This limits your risk to your initial investment and lets you get started with far less capital.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Why do millionaires invest in art?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Millionaires invest in art for several reasons. One reason is that it has the potential to generate outsized returns. If you invest in a piece of art from a new artist and that artist becomes world-renowned, you could wind up with a return of 1,000% or more. Another reason is because they can buy a piece of art and donate it to a museum.<\/p>\n<p>This can save them a lot of money on taxes since donations reduce taxable income. Some millionaires might invest in art because they can and view it as a status symbol.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days, you don\u2019t have to be a brandy-sipping, mustache-twirling Bond villain to invest in art.
