Masterworks News and Media Highlights

Masterworks: The platform that allows nearly anyone to invest in multimillion-dollar art

Investing in multimillion-dollar paintings usually requires having a sizable amount of capital. Privately-held startup Masterworks is set out to change that. Masterworks is making the world of art a little less exclusive by offering everyday investors the chance to own a fraction of these high-priced investments with a much smaller amount of money. Through the fine art investing platform, users can purchase (and trade) shares in what the company has defined as “blue-chip” art: masterpieces from artists like Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Andy Warhol, Banksy, Kaws, Jean-Michel Basquiat and more.

Why Masterworks is worth $1 billion

Masterworks is a company that buys paintings and securitizes them, selling off partial ownership to individual investors. It was valued this week at more than $1 billion — which is more than the aggregate value of all the art it has ever bought. The value of Masterworks itself is growing much more quickly than the value of any of the art it's investing in. As a result, there's a strong case that Scott Lynn, its CEO, has created the most lucrative art-dealing business model of all time.

Masterworks, the Only Art Investing Platform, Becomes the Latest Unicorn

Masterworks.io, the first investment platform to securitize blue-chip art, has secured $110 million Series A investment at a valuation in excess of $1 billion. The round was led by NYC-based venture fund, Left Lane Capital, with participation from strategic investors including Galaxy Interactive (a division of Galaxy Digital), Tru Arrow Partners, and others. Masterworks is a members-only platform where investors can buy and sell shares in iconic works of art, by artists such as Basquiat, Banksy, Picasso, and more.

Masterworks raises $110M to sell fractional shares of physical art — not NFTs

As investors look to diversify their holding amid exceptionally top-heavy traditional asset markets, more tech-enabled platforms are popping up to make the case for their alternative investment platform of choice. Masterworks, a startup that sells fractionalized shares of paintings and other works by famous artists, has achieved a unicorn valuation as it looks to corner the market on bringing fine art exposure into people’s portfolios.
