Share the Love of Art Investing With Masterworks

With Masterworks, you can combine your love of art and passion for investing through shares of investment-grade contemporary art. 

Here’s how Masterworks works: 

  • Their research team looks for artists whose artworks have the potential to appreciate in value.
  • They review thousands of examples of paintings and buy less than 5% of what they’re offered. 
  • They securitize the artworks by filing an offering circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — making it easy for anyone to invest in fractional art shares
  • Their platform allows you to buy and sell shares on the secondary market. 
  • Alternatively, you can wait until the painting is sold, so you can receive returns if the piece sells for a profit. 
  • You’ll be charged a 1.5% annual management fee payable in equity by Masterworks, and the platform receives 20% of profits upon selling the artwork.
