Fine art, including contemporary painting, can be a valuable and fulfilling addition to any investment portfolio. While the stock and bond markets may fluctuate, the art market has a tendency to operate independently, offering potential diversification benefits to investors. This was demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the contemporary art market faced challenges due to the cancellation of live auctions. However, the shift to online sales helped the market recover and even saw record-breaking levels of turnover and transactions.
In addition to its potential for diversification, art has a long history of serving as an inflation hedge. During periods of high inflation, the values of art auctions tend to increase as wealthy individuals seek to secure their wealth through tangible assets such as art or real estate. This trend is encouraging for the future of art investment, but it’s important for investors to be selective and avoid getting caught up in the allure of potentially high profits. By building a broad collection and holding onto works for a long period of time, it is possible to make money investing in art.
At Artsted, we specialize in offering investment-grade contemporary paintings from up-and-coming and mid-career artists. Our online marketplace features a wide range of styles, including abstract, realistic, political, symbolist, and narrative works, and we have direct connections to the artists themselves. We believe that art should be accessible to everyone, and we strive to provide fair and honest pricing on all of our paintings.
Shopping with us is easy – simply browse through our selection of paintings, choose the one you love, add it to your cart, and complete your order. We’ll ship the painting, along with a certificate of authenticity, to you within seven business days. Invest in contemporary painting with Artsted and bring a beautiful and valuable asset to your portfolio. Not only will you be adding a financial investment to your portfolio, but you’ll also be able to enjoy the beauty and cultural significance of the piece every day.
