Our area of specialisation
We specialise in an area of art called ‘works on paper’. This category is not only the most
liquid and affordable, starting from as little as HK$ 30,000, it also includes artists that are
either deceased, non-producing or approaching the end of their careers such as Pablo Picasso,
Damien Hirst and Henri Matisse. This unique diminishing asset is protected with museum grade
conservation framing, which when combined with comprehensive insurance cover, gives the owner
a secure package to offer for rental.

4. Gold vs Art comparison
Like gold, the works of the Masters
are considered a ‘safe-haven’ and
are therefore sought after even
in unstable economic times. As
such many now consider art as
an essential part of a diversified
portfolio, giving balance, stability and
the security of a real asset.

5. The rise of fine art as an asset
class has been driven by the
globalisation of the market and
the availability of up to the minute
research. The wealth of art market
data and specialised research
available today enables collectors to
accurately track the general market
and its constituent parts against
other alternatives.
As with most markets art can be
broken down into several key
areas, of which we focus on an area
called ‘works on paper’. As all of
our artworks come with recorded
price histories, you are able to
make informed decisions when
purchasing art for income. Below are
just two examples from both ends of
the spectrum with Picasso’s ‘Apples,
Glass and Knife’ and Andy Warhol’s
iconic ‘Marilyn Monroe’.

Unique diminshing asset
Throughout their lifetime artwork editions naturally decrease in
numbers due to poor care, inadequate protection against aging
or being lost. As this happens the remaining mint condition examples
become increasingly rare and sought after, and as our example
illustrates, this sometimes triggers significant increases in the value of
the artwork.
