In 'Family offices and the art of investment', Mary Elizabeth Klein explains the current trends regarding investment in art. She describes the benefits and the risks of investing in art, as well as the different ways of investing (eg, art funds, NFT-based art and art lending). She stresses the importance of involving art professionals due to, among others, the market opaqueness and the lack of regulation and the fact that the type of investment depends on the objectives of the investor. For instance, an investor may prefer to invest in an art fund in order to avoid the responsibility of owning and maintaining the physical piece of art.
