Investing in art is one of the most personal – and most rewarding – investments you can make. It also happens to be one of the most risky. While million and even billion dollar art sales at the main auction houses may make headlines, the majority of successful art investors are making quieter, more consistent deals that add up to considerable returns over the long term. Unlike investing in the stock market or mutual funds, investing in art is an intensely personal process and in order to become a successful art investor, you must first decide what kind of art speaks to you personally. Art investors are not necessarily artistic aficionados, but they must have a love or empathy for art. A single piece of artwork can be a significant investment, so it is very important to make sure that when you do decide to buy something, it is actually something you like or at least believe in. It is possible to invest in art through investment firms and art funds, so even you’re not even remotely interested in discovering the next Picasso, you can still stand to benefit from art investing. Art funds provide investors without contacts in the art world to find a way to break into the industry. By joining forces with more experienced investors, you can be learning about how the whole process works while still making a return on your investment. Besides the potential for a significant payout over the lifetime of your investment, the main reason to invest in art remains extremely personal. The emotional fulfillment of finding, negotiating, purchasing and enjoying a meaningful piece of artwork cannot be underestimated. An investment in art is an investment in you. Art in every form can enhance your quality of life, help you to appreciate the beauty around you, and open your mind to a whole new world of possibilities.
