Invest in Multimillion-Dollar Paintings without Breaking the Bank

Masterworks

Let’s face it, investing in pieces of contemporary art is not exactly budget-friendly. It’s an investment strategy usually reserved for the likes of Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. But, if you want to start building your art portfolio at a price you can stomach — check out Masterworks. How does it work? The platform allows you to buy and sell shares of iconic paintings. Masterworks has made the world’s most valuable investment available to everyone for the first time ever. You can invest in multimillion-dollar paintings by artists like Warhol, Banksy and Basquiat — at a fraction of the normal purchase price. Typically, Masterworks has a waitlist to sign up and start investing. But by clicking through the link below, Gear Patrol readers can skip the waitlist and diversify their portfolio using Masterworks.
