Why
Art?
“Though no investment is entirely without risk, contemporary art has shown remarkable resilience”
Portfolio Security
Art investment has historically remained dependable during economic turbulence, making it the perfect asset to provide stability to your portfolio.
High Growth
Art, particularly that of emerging artists, provides the potential for explosive growth. Such exponential returns allow collectors to hedge against inflation.
Effective Diversification
The art market is uncorrelated to traditional markets, making it the perfect opportunity to diversify your portfolio and protect against volatility.
For investors, wealth managers and family offices, art’s potential for astronomical returns, efficacy as an inflation hedge and position as an invaluable tool for diversification make art a formidable rival to property, cars, watches, and potentially even the stock market.
While often regarded as the folly of the world’s wealthiest, art can substantially reward collectors of any calibre, especially those who work with the right gallery.
We promote galleries that specialise in emerging artists, where investors typically see the most meteoric growth.
Not only is art a fantastic store of wealth, but investing in art offers collectors the opportunity for personal enrichment; owning museum-grade artworks opens up a world of events and networks where investors can meet other like-minded collectors and discover new passions.

Secondary Market
When validated artists enter auction markets there is a clear upwards trajectory in the value of their work. The galleries we work with specialise in artists who have yet to enter the auction markets, where investors can typically see the most explosive growth in the value of their investments.
Peter Doig first entered auction in 1997 and sold for £2,400. 9 years later, his work sold for £1,000,000.

What is the best art to invest in?
The answer to this question varies from investor to investor. If you’re looking for high-yield investments, then emerging to mid-career artists are the best opportunities, these artists have already shown promise and generated interest in the art market but still have growth ahead of them. Normally you will be able to see a promising track record of growth in their career with the potential to see the value of their work increase significantly. The price points for artists of this nature also tend to be more accessible to most investors.
Where do I buy investment art?
There are hundreds of UK galleries promising high-yield art investments but you must do your due diligence on them. The accuracy of the returns they have claimed to achieve for their clients should be proven, repeated and consistent. We see many galleries advertising sky-high returns based on a one-off sale of artwork with no evidence that they have been able to repeat this result. Our “Buying Art Securely” guide gives you all the tricks to find the right gallery to invest with. Download below.
Is art a good investment?
JP Morgan suggests that investors should consider allocating at least 20% of their portfolio to alternative assets. This diversification provides stability to a portfolio that is comprised of investments in volatile markets such as equities or cryptocurrency. In addition to the market-leading returns possible when investing in art, this makes art a great addition to any investor’s portfolio, find out more by getting in touch with De Pointe Research.
How does art increase in value?
Like many investments, the art market is based largely on supply and demand, the supply of original works of art is usually limited due to the time it takes to create fine art. Often, the galleries representing an artist will work as a catalyst driving demand for an artist but artists of a significant calibre will drive their own career through regular exhibitions, art fairs and collection by major institutions and museums.
