Secondary Market
When validated artists enter auction markets there is a clear upwards trajectory in the price collectors pay for their work. The galleries we promote specialise in artists who are yet to enter the auction markets, where the most explosive growth is typically seen.
Peter Doig first entered auction in 1997 and sold for £2,400. 9 years later his work sold for £1,000,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the risks? Can the value of my art collection reduce and if so, by how much?
All artworks can rise and fall in value. Despite this, many financial experts have agreed that art values are driven by independent forces outside traditional markets. In fact, art has proven to perform particularly well during times of financial uncertainty and volatility. Many consider art a more stable store of wealth as it is comparable to other hard assets such as gold, vintage wine and whisky. It is also important to understand that artworks are not a liquid asset, meaning, it may take longer than expected to sell your artwork(s).
So, why art?

What do the financial experts say?
“The most recent survey shows an increase from 78 percent in 2016 to 88 percent in 2017 of wealth managers saying that they think art and collectibles should be included as part of the array of wealth management solutions.” – Deloitte Art and Finance Report, 2017
So, what drives the market and will it continue?
There is an obvious correlation between the wealth in the world and the amount of demand for art. Today’s high net worth individual (HNWI) combined wealth is over $61.3 trillion (Wealth-X). “The global ultra high net worth individuals’ (UHNWI) population is forecast to rise by 22% over the next 5 years” – The Wealth Report 2019, Knight Frank
So, as the evidence suggests, as long as global wealth creation continues, the demand for art will continue and the art market will continue to be strong. The most recent Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report estimates that global art market sales reached a total of $64.1 billion last year. In 2014, it was estimated that there were $2 trillion of artworks held in private hands (Anna Dempster, Economist and Senior Lecturer at Sotheby’s Institute of Art). The Economist estimates that $3.6 trillion will be spent on art by 2025.
As always, past performance and projections are not an accurate reflection of future performance.
Do I need to be an expert to succeed in the art market?
Absolutely not.
While the art investment market does require extensive know-how, De Pointe will connect you with specialist art consultants who already have substantial knowledge and experience in the art market meaning they can advise you to give you an edge that other investors do not possess. The consultants that we work with also provide rare opportunities to collect museum-grade artworks from artists who have been validated and verified by award-winning experts.
Substance + Proven Track Record = Serious Potential
Museums are the ultimate art world validation and there is an acute shortage of museum-quality artworks available. Validated museum-quality art is a tangible asset class of deep intrinsic artistic value, low volatility and operates outside of the financial markets (J.P. Morgan) that can also be left to loved ones.
