Investment in art

Buying a work of art is always an investment. Whether it is aesthetic or financial, it gives you added value in your life. Acquiring a work of art can be an interesting investment. Sales continue to grow and the future looks bright.

The art market is uncorrelated with stock market values. So far, it has resisted crises and has even become a safe haven. It is therefore natural that it attracts more and more capital.

Investment in art can only be understood in the long term to potentially hope for interesting profitability. Indeed, the price of works is volatile, depending on the careers of the artists. In addition, it takes time and a certain diversification of your portfolio to really see a positive result.

Purchases of works of art are now part of a solid and booming international market. The art market is distinct from the economic and stock market. He obeys his own rules. It has been noted for many years that it is capable of self-regulation. Sometimes, the profitability of investments can be dazzling.

Some countries, including France, have particularly attractive taxation in this area.

It is true that speculation on this or that artist often makes this market volatile, even opaque. However, the experience of serious investors shows that it is beneficial in the long term.

An artist's rating is not created in a day! This rating is established on different criteria, including media coverage, private or public promotion, integration of works in museums or foundations, etc.

The art advisor must integrate all these elements into his thinking.

 

• • He must know the various private or public actions, such as exhibitions, auctions, retrospectives of the artists he follows.

• • It must identify the most relevant works whose added value is advantageous.

• • He must anticipate variations in value in order to offer new business and opportunities.

• • Finally, the advisor must be able to negotiate the best possible transaction on your behalf.

 

 

In practice

 

• • To decipher your desires and expectations in terms of art, getting help from advice is reassuring. How to identify your tastes and your vision of art? This will be the first mission of an Art Advisor.

• • The analysis of the destination of an acquisition comes later (investment, starting or strengthening of collection, heritage, etc.).

• • Once he has clearly identified your needs, your advisor sets out to find the desired work. His network is extremely important, as is his ability to obtain information. Depending on market prices, he will advise you on the advisability of a purchase.

• • Once the purchase has been made, your advisor should ensure that the transport of the work goes smoothly.

• • He can also intervene to help you choose a beautiful framework and ensure its implementation. He is also at your disposal for installation and lighting advice.

• • Its function does not stop there, because it can also provide excellent advice to guide you towards exhibitions, Art Fairs or retrospectives.

• • If you have a collection, the artistic advisor will always be on the alert to unearth the piece that may interest you.

 

 

In summary, don't forget that your artistic advisor is above all a passionate person who thrives on art.

What he can happily share with you is a way of life, the love of art as a meaning to life.
