Let's Start

My Family has been part of the art and culture scene since the 70's. My Father is an artist and my mother is a museum curator and tourism professional. I am now in my mid 20's, full of enthusiasm and ideas. The question of how well is "Art as an Investment" has been thrown around me since I was a young kid accompanying my parents to exhibitions and gatherings of artists and collectors.

Asking an artist a question as such will yield diverse answers. However, being an artist with passion for their art will bring you to the beginning of a very long discussion which will usually end with you not getting an objective understanding. What makes this question hard to answer is because the value of art is intangible. The value of art is different for each person.

lately, I have been delving into financial investments(although small ones), getting ready for the future. Looking around at our house, I see a lot of art done by my father as well as by other artist. My parents for the longest time have been accumulating art from other artist for a long time and our collection is now substantial that I think we can even open a museum around our collection.

I would need to have some sort of metrics to fully valuate art as an investment and the only way to do this is by thinking like an investment researcher.

And so we begin ...
