We are here to help you navigate these challenges. Like any investment, art carries risks, including market fluctuations, forgery, and issues with provenance. However, by learning how to conduct due diligence, understand valuation, and work with reputable sources, you can mitigate these risks and make informed investment decisions with confidence.

Yes, there are alternative ways to invest in art without direct ownership. While NFTs have gained significant popularity in recent years, we do not recommend them as an investment due to their volatility and high risk. Instead, we can guide you toward exploring technologically advanced artistic expressions, including Digital Art. However, it’s important to understand that these are still relatively new forms of artistic expression and may carry some level of risk.
Another option is fractional ownership platforms, which allow investors to gain exposure to the art market without the need to store or manage physical pieces. These platforms enable you to invest in high-value artworks alongside other investors.
We can help you navigate these options, ensuring you make informed decisions that align with your investment goals and risk tolerance.

Paintings can be displayed on a wall in your home without the need for framing, but it’s important to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to maintain their condition.When investing through us, we can assist with shipment, secure storage, and maintaining an inventory if needed, ensuring your collection is managed with the utmost care.

Ideally, artworks should be held for at least three years as a standard practice in the art world, with five years often recommended for optimal valuation.
