Unlocking the Potential of Art Investment Vehicles

Abstract

Art as investment has become an increasingly prominent feature of the art world. It is now common for investors to collect pieces based largely on their anticipated future resale value rather than their aesthetic value. Surveys have found that half of art collectors consider investment returns to be an important motivation for their art purchases, and 88% of wealth managers think art and collectibles should be included as part of a wealth management offering, up from 55% in 2O14.
