Tips for advanced users & investors

1. Invest in artists with proven auction results

Artists who regularly and successfully sell at international auctions generally offer greater certainty in terms of value retention and growth. Analyze auction results, market trends, and the artist's reputation. Works with a clear auction history are easier to value and resell.

Tip: Consult platforms such as Artprice or check the auction archives of major houses (Sotheby's, Christie's) to track price trends and popularity.

2. Pay attention to provenance and documentation (origin history)

Provenance and complete documentation are crucial for the value and marketability of a work of art. Always ask for certificates, previous owners, restoration reports, and proof of purchase. A transparent and well-documented history increases the confidence of future buyers and auction houses.

3. Consider blue-chip work for larger investments

‘"Blue-chip" artworks are works by internationally recognized artists with a proven track record. These works are generally stable in value and form the backbone of many professional collections. They are less susceptible to fluctuations and retain their appeal, even in challenging markets.
