Why you should invest in art 📈

Few people know how attractive investing in the works of selected artists can be. Many others are often deterred by the supposedly high barriers to entry - such as the capital required, the network or the know-how. As a result, they miss out on an attractive, safe and, above all, exciting asset class and a promising investment. I'll explain why pretty much everyone should invest in art.

🖼 The art market

Similar to classic markets, one can also notice ups and downs in the art market. However, the volatility is nowhere near as pronounced as in the stock market, for example. This is because art is a medium- to long-term investment; holding periods of three to five years are quite normal, which means that short-term macroeconomic effects have less of an impact on the blue-chip art market.

📈 Art as an investment

The fact that it pays to invest in art is particularly apparent when comparing the art market with the stock market. The increase in value on the art market can be quantified particularly well with the help of the ArtPrice100. This index reflects the development of the 100 most important artists on the art market and can be used as a comparison index to the S&P500.

Looking at the average annual growth rate in the period from 2000 to 2022, it is noticeable that the ArtPrice100 (7.46%) outperforms the S&P500 (6.01%).

The ArtPrice100, art as an investment, has been able to hold its own against the S&P500 over the past decades, despite the global economic crisis, low interest rate environment and Corona pandemic, and demonstrates how promising art is as a value investment.

💰What art to buy

There are various motives for investing in art or buying works of art. If you want to invest in art that is highly likely to go through a large appreciation, works by blue chip artists and established contemporary ones are suitable. Their reputation has been established for years, and the demand for their works is correspondingly high and stable. This makes them a tendentially safe investment with good appreciation.

Do you already invest in art? If yes, in which artists?

If no, what are your reasons for not doing so?

Just sayin. 🍌

+++ What the Euro sculpture has to do with a teddy... +++

The € sculpture in front of the former ECB building at Willy-Brandt-Platz is known far beyond Frankfurt/Main. It weighs 50 tons, is 14 meters high and is illuminated by LEDs at night.

The "golden" teddy, which decorates my new office in Berlin since this week, is just too delicate with a weight of about 1.2kg and 35cm height.

But both have one thing in common: they are each from the mind of the artist Ottmar Hörl, designed, made and given away by him.

So in both dwells artistic design and imagination.

I collect art and artistic works for a few years, which is why I was of course very happy about the "new work colleague in matching look". Nice when one is made so a joy.

The sculpture, the bear, originally comes from the project "Teddy - The forgotten dream" by Hörl from 2007.

Incidentally, the former ECB building, the Eurotower, now houses the headquarters of the ECB's Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). The main building of the ECB, on the other hand, is located at Sonnemannstrasse 20, Frankfurt/Main, rather @ActionChris - just that you also find the right way. But vll. you think of this text, if you can be photographed with the artwork 😉 Nice that you incidentally a little more moderate here on Getquin appear - I mean as honest feedback.

And other than that? Nothing else... I was just surprised by the randomness of the post or picture of our crypto plepps that I spontaneously wanted to announce this anecdote of mine. Have a relaxing evening or day... and enjoy the life full of art.

And take part in the raffle on my profile. You can win a book and merch from Getquin. And that is also something like art. 👌

Art Compass - Top 100 Artists* and their Growth

This year's Art Compass 2022 by Capital provides insights into the art market and evaluates the most important artists. The ranking of the current top 100 contemporary artists* shows how well the selected positions are developing and how relevant individual positions are.

Once again this year, German contemporaries have prevailed and are leading the world. Gerhard Richter continues to lead the list with a margin of 38,850 fame points, well ahead of video and installation artist Bruce Nauman. Georg Baselitz and Rosemarie Trockel follow in 3rd and 4th place. However, the biggest points winner in 2022 is Tony Cragg: the British artist, who lives in Germany, can boast an increase of 7,300 points this year and comes in 6th place.

Regardless of such rankings, we select artists and works with our own process (qualitative & quantitative) and through our partnership with artnet (use/analysis of databases + you have to buy the right works) and are fully in the spectrum of such rankings with positions like Richter (1), Baselitz (3), Cragg (most sought-after newcomer). 🚀

Such rankings underline that (blue chip) art cannot only be evaluated subjectively and that different influencing factors lead to an increase in value and relevance.
