– Fijne kunst wordt gezien als een levensvatbare afdekking tegen inflatie

– Artnet Data benadrukt de aantrekkelijkheid van Fine Art als activaklasse

– Artnet ontwikkelt AI-ondersteunde analyses en voorspellende technologie

NEW YORK & BERLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Artnet AG, het toonaangevende platform voor kunstmarktgegevens en -media, en de wereldwijde marktplaats voor beeldende kunst, onderzoekt de impact en correlatie tussen inflatie, stijgende olieprijzen en de waardering van investeringen in beeldende kunst . Terwijl de wereldeconomie ongekende politieke onrust en sociale onrust doormaakt, blijkt uit gegevens van Artnet dat aanzienlijke investeringen in beeldende kunst kunnen worden gezien als een afdekking tegen inflatiedruk en marktvolatiliteit.

De afgelopen jaren, en zeker in de nasleep van de pandemie, heeft kunst zich in hoog tempo ontwikkeld tot een levensvatbaar alternatief bezit. Met meer dan $ 14 miljard aan beeldende kunst die vorig jaar op een veiling werd verkocht, een flinke stijging in vergelijking met de totale verkoop van $ 10,1 miljard in 2020, wenden steeds meer family offices, verzamelaars en banken zich tot Fine Art als een levensvatbare investering.

artnet AG: Artnet Data and Analytics show Fine Art in Comparison to other Key Asset Classes

– Fine Art seen as a viable hedge against inflation

– Artnet Data highlights Fine Art’s attractiveness as an asset class

– Artnet developing AI-supported analytics and predictive technology

NEW YORK & BERLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Artnet AG, the leading platform for art market data and media, and the global marketplace for fine art investigates the impact and correlation between inflation, rising oil prices, and the appreciation of investments in fine art. As the global economy experiences unprecedented political turmoil and social upheaval, Artnet data shows significant investments in fine art can be seen as a hedge against inflationary pressures and market volatility.

Over the past few years, and especially in the wake of the pandemic, art has rapidly developed into a viable alternative asset. With over $14 Billion worth of fine art sold at auction last year, a hefty increase in comparison to the $10.1 Billion 2020 total sales, more and more family offices, collectors, and banks are turning to Fine Art as a viable investment.

The Artnet Data Science team can reveal that especially Post War and Contemporary Art are showing strong returns, with data suggesting growth in line with the S&P500. Modern Art and Impressionist Art are on a steady upwards trajectory. Old Master paintings are experiencing more tepid growth.

Artnet will deploy more resources to further develop its AI-supported analytics and business intelligence products. The development of predictive technologies will be instrumental for data-driven decision making, especially in terms of art secured lending, fractionalization, and other financial products.

The top 10 performing artists over the past year, according to Artnet’s Database, were Pablo Picasso ($657 Million), Jean-Michel Basquiat ($414 Million), Andy Warhol ($341 Million), Claude Monet ($305 Million), Vincent van Gogh ($235 Million), Gerhard Richter ($225 Million), Banksy ($201 Million), Cy Twombly ($181 Million), Zhang Daqian ($160 Million), and Yayoi Kusama ($146 Million). The NFT breakout artist Beeple is among the top 20 highest grossing artists of 2021.

Artnet ended the year 2021 as its strongest performance ever. A pioneering force in the digitization of the art industry, Artnet’s global, highly-curated, and data-driven platform has been critical in supporting the continued growth of the art market.
