Investing in The Urban & Contemporary Print Market 2023: Five Years in Review

The global art market was valued at £40 billion in 2020, and is still re-stabilising itself post-pandemic. However, the pandemic has been one of the key triggers for greener investors joining the market. The riskier the stock market returns and the level of economic slowdown directly affect the demand for alternative investments.
Fine art, including prints and multiples, fall under the ‘alternative assets’ class. This relates to assets that do not fall into established categories such as stocks and bonds, annuities, mutual funds, currencies and EFTs. Alongside other assets such as real estate, and consumable and non-consumable commodities, such as watches, wine, whisky, designer fashion, collectables and fine art, art– with the exception of NFTS– is considered a tangible asset. This offers the benefit of the personal satisfaction gained from owning a real object; we always aim to help you invest in art that you actually love, and while your prints may appreciate in value over time, depending on the CAGR, the aesthetic value of a print you have chosen can be treasured consistently.
