Masterworks

An investment platform that allows individuals to invest in fractional shares of blue-chip contemporary art.

The company's primary service is to securitize and register artworks with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), allowing them to be sold to the public as individual shares. This model opens up the art market to a wider range of investors who were previously unable to afford multi-million dollar artworks. The company's team of experts selects and acquires works by well-known artists, which are then offered on the platform.

Masterworks' business model is based on a fee structure that includes a 1.5% annual management fee and a 20% commission on future profits from the sale of the artwork. The company serves a diverse clientele, from seasoned art collectors to individual investors looking to diversify their portfolios with alternative assets. The platform operates in the alternative investment market, specifically in the art-tech sector, which combines art, finance, and technology.
