There was a time when art was valued because it was aesthetically pleasing and because it brought grand ideas into public discourse. In modern times, art is also gaining value as an investment asset class – not just as a long-term source of goodwill, but as a short-term source of quick profits. Over the past ten years, the art market has shown volatility similar to that of the stock market, and yet some of the prices that works of art have yielded at market have made it an attractive investment asset class. Art has always followed the money, and money follows the strongest markets. Dealers like Larry “Go-Go” Gagosian, Daniella Luxembourg and Jeffrey Deitch, hedge fund moguls and newly born oligarchs  want to participate in  Billion Dollar Private Art Sales around the World.  Prof Andrew Worthington of QUT School of Economics and Finance studied global art markets and indentified as a separate alternative Investment asset class.

Money supposedly has no value in itself, that is, it is valuable for what one can exchange it for, but I will suggest the surge of art buying is money's parthenogenetic way of saying that it is valuable in itself, indeed, value distilled to purity, the quintessence of value in capitalist society...a low price suggests a short-term investment, while a high price suggests a long-term investment, and ultimately the "pricelessness" that confers immortality on art -- its value beyond money even though its immortality resides in the vast amount of money it can be exchanged for. High prices seem to mean high reputation, but I am suggesting they create high reputation.”- Donald Kuspit, Artnet.

Putting together a viable investment portfolio is something that more people should do. With the wide range of investment opportunities available today, there are all sorts of art investments that will fit into just about any budget and satisfy any level of acceptable risk. 

Investing in Australian Indigenous art nurtures and promotes aboriginal and indigenous culture of Australia. Buying artwork provides indigenous artists with economic independence and opportunity to share their culture, country and stories. Through supporting Australian aboriginal artists you will become a part of Australia’s most exciting developments in contemporary visual arts.

Art as an asset class was found to have less volatility and much lower correlation with other assets, hence a portfolio of artworks may play a somewhat more important role in portfolio diversification.   Markowitz and Sharpe shared the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 1990 for their work on Modern Portfolio Theory. 

Building upon the work of Markowitz and others, Gary Brinson sought to study the impact of the asset allocation policy decision. The Brinson Beebower studies, originally completed in 1986 and revisited in 1991, suggested that 93.6% of a portfolio’s change in returns over time were attributable to asset allocation policy.
