Art & Finance

New challenges of the arts and cultural market

“Business Art is the step that comes after Art”,
Andy Warhol

Art and Finance

The unprecedented development of the art market over the past few years has resulted in the ‘financialisation’ of the art market. Art is now seen not only as an object of pleasure, however, also as a new alternative asset class with interesting business opportunities.

Meanwhile, the globalisation of culture has lead art organisations and cultural related companies to confront a number of strategic issues critical to reaching their goals.

Such developments make the need for specialised services to support them apparent.

Our difference

Our clients range from professional financial advisors (private banks, wealth managers, and family offices), institutional investors (hedge funds, endowment funds, private equity firms) and art and collectibles investment funds to private and corporate collectors, cultural institutions and foundations, and corporations.
