Investing in Fine Arts

Fine art investments are an effective and rewarding way to store capital and can provide generous returns. However, the world of galleries, art fairs and auctions can be confusing and off-putting, sometimes deliberately so. This course seeks to demystify the art world by laying out the general principles on which the market is based, explaining how its main players operate and clarifying the fees involved.

This course introduces the world of artists and the galleries that represent them, exploring the different methods of seeking out new talent and how to acquire the best works. It will then provide a breakdown of how the market works for reselling, the best strategies to get the best price and how to seek out a bargain. More importantly it will demonstrate how to appraise a work and how to approach every transaction so that you can avoid costly mistakes.

The course is delivered by an experienced fine art advisor who will teach the key concepts of the fine art market and how to avoid the pitfalls of investing in this specialist area.

The course is made up of a 2-hour online session, explaining the ins and outs of the fine art market which is priced at £179. There is also an optional gallery visit, during which you can join our expert to walk around and get a taste for gallery events in the city which is priced at £229.
