Invest with the art investment platform with 23 profitable exits.

How has the art investing platform Masterworks been able to realize an individual profit for investors with each of its 23 exits to date?

Here’s an example: an exited Banksy was offered to investors at $1.039 million and internally appraised at the same value after acquisition. As Banksy’s market took off, Masterworks received an offer of $1.5 million from a private collector, resulting in 32% net annualized return for investors in the offering.

Every artwork performs differently — but with 3 illustrative sales (that were held for 1+ year), Masterworks investors realized net annualized returns of 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%.

Masterworks takes care of the heavy lifting: from buying the paintings, to storing them, to selling them for you (no art experience required).

Todays Foodie Tip: Lami by Amigo’s Kitchen

"I absolutely loved this hearty and flavorful bowl of lomi! The broth was thick, savory, and perfectly seasoned, and the toppings were fresh and generous. The crispy breaded chicken added a great texture, while the calamansi gave the dish a delightful tangy twist. “
