Who here has invested in art as a way to both diversify your risk and also enjoy your investment while you have it?
I'm considering it.

Whichever artist you decide to patronize, kill them after you acquire the piece.creepycoug said:Who here has invested in art as a way to both diversify your risk and also enjoy your investment while you have it?

I wouldn’t. It’s once of the most illiquid assets around.
This is not to say don’t buy art...absolutely do! But buy it because you love the piece.
If you do want to get serious about it, treat it as a long term venture. You’ll need to start doing lots of research into it: what styles do you gravitate towards? Are you into sculpture or paintings? Also learn the terminology.
Once you know what you like you’ll want to start going to exhibit openings, auctions, art fairs. Then make relationships with galleries, dealers, and if at all possible, the artists themselves.
Oh, and if you buy something for the long haul, be prepared to take of it. It will need to dusted/handled/displayed carefully. -

I've certainly been embroiled in such contests, as you well know.Doog_de_Jour said:This internet dick measuring contest bores me.
But not today. This bore walks away from his own idea and casually swings around out of nowhere (with a few days to kill, lolz), drops three third-person referenced posts on successful stock picks (a limitation of his intellectual interests that caused this board to be a mausoleum in the first place), immediately bleeds out in response to some good natured ribbing from yours truly, and then makes clear why he was here in the first place, which I guess was to name drop his new stock pick pay board ... or whatever.
And @NorthwestFresh , RIP, used to say I'm arrogant. Jimminny Christmas. -
True enough about liquidity. Stipulated. But you can always sell the right art. Not quickly, but you can sell it. The idea is a unique diversification that I understand. I don't understand crypto, and it has limited history. Art has held value for eons. It was no random hobby that inspired the Nazis pilfered France of great art and tried to keep it as they retreated.Doog_de_Jour said:creepycoug said:Who here has invested in art as a way to both diversify your risk and also enjoy your investment while you have it?

Yes, all those points are good ones. You have to go through a rigorous authentication process, and you have to have someone on your side. I posted about this a couple months ago. I have a contact in Boston who knows this shit and has invested herself. Her access includes, among other big names, varied works by Chagall, which really can range in price depending on what you get. But you're going to spend a lot of $$ even for a lower-end piece. I break it down like this:
Good: the value increase has been steady and there's no reason to think that will change (he's been dead for a while now); I like his work; I can look at it and enjoy it during the investment period.
Bad: I will likely overpay, as the market for fine art is inefficient; I will have to make arrangements to really secure my house, I'll have to add a rider to my homeowners, I will have to get some kind of safe or something in my house so I can go on vacation and not worry about it and I will have to lie to my friends and say it's a fake; and, lastly, to your point, I can never use it for "need money fast" or I will take a bath.
Art is a legitimate alternative. I mean, when you stop and think about it, it is AT LEAST as rational as buying a metal brick. -
