Masterworks
Invest in shares of iconic paintings, build a diversified art portfolio.
Masterworks is a platform that allows retail investors to buy and sell shares of blue-chip paintings by iconic artists. The company securitizes fine art assets and has distributed over $61 million to investors. Users can build a diversified portfolio of high-value artwork without needing to purchase entire pieces.
Masterworks acquires iconic paintings, securitizes them with the SEC, and sells fractional shares to investors who can then trade or hold until the artwork is sold.
