LIFESTYLE
You have probably walked past it every spring and wondered what that awful smell was. Here is the story behind that pretty little tree.
Alternative Investments
Someone just spent $236,000,000 on a painting. Here’s why it matters for your wallet.
Late last year, a Klimt sold for the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.
An outlier sure, but it wasn't a fluke. U.S. auction sales grew 23.1% in 2025. The $1-5mm segment even grew 40.8% YoY.
When the S&P 500 finished its worst quarter since 2022 last month, diversifiers like bonds and bitcoin fell too.
Even with the turnaround in mid-April, analysts at Goldman Sachs and Vanguard have projected low-single-digit annualized returns from 2024-2034.
So, what kind of investment is largely indifferent to the forces driving everything else?
Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.
Access to an asset class with historically low correlation and attractive appreciation (‘95-’25).*
Net annualized returns on 28 sold works held 12 months+ like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.
$1.3 billion invested across over 500 artworks.
Shares can sell quickly, but my subscribers can skip the waitlist:
