Investment in art – is Art Banking for you?

Do you love to surround yourself with luxurious, valuable items and want to turn a passion into a long-term investment? Perfect. An investment in art is for you.

Do you love the works of École de Paris artists, the acclaimed works of Zdzislaw Beksinski or Stanislaw Wyspianski? Or do you prefer to discover the works of young artists?

The art market has gained an investment dimension and is becoming not only more attractive, but increasingly open to both artists and art lovers. In addition, if we invest well, we can only set our sights on increasing the value of the work.

Investment in art – two ways

What we need to be guided by when trying on investment in art? The answer is simple: art knowledge and old stock market wisdom. Before buying, it is best to consider three criteria for selecting works of art: one’s own taste, acceptable investment risk and budget possibilities. We must also keep in mind that the cost of the artwork is compounded by handling costs in the form of protection, conservation and insurance of the acquired work. Especially if we bet on works of art that are still undervalued in Poland today: those from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Is it profitable to invest in art?

We can look at buying artwork as a way to diversify our investment portfolio. Art is worth investing in not only because it is profitable. It is, above all, elitist; an investor in this particular market becomes a connoisseur, a participant in cultural life in its most luxurious dimension. The art market is an excellent field for both those hoping to make a profit and those who can afford artistic risks.

Art investment – diversifying your portfolio over the long term.

We can bet on works by well-known artists whose works have already gained historical value. When enriching our own collection, we can also choose to buy works by young artists who are currently working on their reputation. Specialists see precisely in the purchase of such works an opportunity for private investors. Buying a young work of art is no small temptation, as investment in it can pay off as interest in the young artist grows. An example? The works of Wilhelm Sasnal have long since reached prices that are too high for the Polish market and are in great demand abroad.

Capital stabilization or investment with a thrill – both paths suit the art lover. When choosing either of these two avenues of art investment, we need to know that these are avenues that can only yield profits after some time, and those who want immediate earnings may be disappointed.

Thus, it should be remembered that the qualities of a good art investor include not only expertise, aesthetic sense, common sense, but also patience. This trait, however, should not come as a surprise. Contemplating true art requires a combination of sensitivity and patience of discovery.
