Investors can access and purchase art through several types of markets. The traditional routes include working with a dealer, using an auction house, or attending art fairs. However, purchasing physical artworks outright can be cost-prohibitive and challenging without industry connections.
An expanding area of the market is the digital art space. Today, investors also have the option of fractional investment in physical artworks by blue-chip, mid-career, and emerging artists. In addition, there are opportunities to invest in loans backed by artworks, which can generate monthly income.
