The S&P declined 5.1 percent in 2018 while the art market returned 10.6 percent and was called “the best investment of 2018” by the Wall Street Journal. Masterworks recently purchased a $2 million Warhol painting and an $8 million Monet piece. Shares of both are publicly traded and owners vote when a purchase offer is made. Proceeds are divided when the art is sold.
