Art Investment 2014-AA1

Financial innovation hacking

Art Investment 2014-AA1 is an investment vehicle that responds to the increasing abstraction of the art market through financialization.

The securitization of art to be packaged and sold in complex financial products and the new arrival of art indices that track the art market have made it possible to separate the artist from the market. Like the effect of financialization on other industries, the artist is no longer the sole producer of art investments. That is to say, you can now invest in artworks or the art market without buying a work of art.
