blue chips for collectors and investors
Art investment
That’s why you should invest in art!
Works of art can greatly increase in value over time. This is partly due to the
limited availability of artworks and partly due to the increasing demand
for art from all parts of the world.
Over the decades, no other commodity has been able to increase capital as sustainably as art.
Art is a market with a stable value and a crisis-proof currency: a work of art does not wear out, it can be released and resold. As the age or fame of the artist increases, there is a shortage of supply, i.e. of originals, and the artwork increases in value. This increase in value always occurs, but can vary – some art values have multiplied in value, others have experienced an increase of 20 to 50 percent. The increase in value of Andy Warhol’s most popular print “Marilyn Monroe” from 1967 is one of the many successful examples.

Thoughts on the art of making money
What is Art Investment?
More and more private individuals and companies are securing parts of their assets with art as a tangible asset.
So-called blue-chip art offers security and the chance of an above-average increase in value. Art also stands for an emotional return, inspiration and prestige as well as cultural values. An investment in art is therefore always also an investment in an attitude of mind and aesthetic enjoyment as well as in education and culture.
The following people and companies invest in art, among others: Deutsche Bank AG, Commerzbank AG, Allianz AG, Brad Pitt, Elton John, Leonardo DiCaprio, Madonna, AXA Versicherung AG, Gunter Sachs, Edouard Carmignac, Deutsche Telekom AG, Jack Nicholson and Beyoncé Knowles.

Stabilization through diversification
Art investments help to diversify and stabilize your portfolio as they have a low correlation to equities and bonds. This allows you to spread risks better and benefit from a resilient art market.
Crisis resistance and security
Artworks are independent tangible assets that offer a high degree of resilience to capital market fluctuations. They also serve as protection against inflation, as their value often rises in line with the rate of inflation.
Long-term increase in value
Art is a globally tradable “currency” that constantly increases capital in the long term. Over the decades, no other form of investment has increased in value as sustainably as art.
