Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)
Thatβs 5 sales in 4 months. 28 all time. And the performance?
14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 28 at Masterworks.com).
Itβs not from stocks, private equity, or real estateβ¦ itβs from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?
With Masterworks, you donβt need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.
Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*
Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.
As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.
