Investing in art: much more than just an investment!
Welcome to Art Investissement. Opening the door to this gallery and buying a work of art is much simpler than it seems. Art Investissement's goal is to make art accessible to everyone, thanks to a team of experts who guide you in your choices and share their values with you. Art is a meaningful investment that carries a message, offering the potential for capital gains while benefiting from advantageous tax treatment, both personally and professionally. Choosing a work of art fulfills a human need and supports artistic creation.
Making art accessible
Art Investissement is for everyone, from specialists to novices, who want to invest in art. Often deterred by the perceived urgency of accessing an unfamiliar world, one that may seem reserved for scholars, potential buyers hesitate to take the plunge. This is why Art Investissement's approach is to offer support to all those who wish to embark on this wonderful adventure. We offer turnkey solutions, enabling individuals, professionals, SMEs, and large corporations to benefit from our expertise and knowledge of the art world. We advise them on their first acquisitions (purchase or rental), presenting them with a wide range of selected, recognized, and exhibited artists. Access to art thus becomes accessible to everyone.
A team of experts dedicated to art
Art Investissement comprises three areas of expertise represented by its founding members. Access to art is therefore viewed from the perspectives of culture, business, and investment. Each of these members brings their experience in creation, business management, and patronage (sponsorship/support) to those who, in addition to their interest in art, are looking for ways to make a financial investment or benefit from tax advantages reserved for those passionate about preserving artistic heritage. Françoise Cavalézy and Laurent Tibi, two of the founders of Art Investissement, possess this expertise as well as extensive experience in the business world. Teddy Tibi, director of the magazine Art Absolument for over 20 years, divides his time between entrepreneurship and art.
Sharing our values
Art Investissement focuses first and foremost on the human dimension of the relationship between its clients and the art world. The investments offered are therefore always guided by a respectful balance between the artist and the one who will become, in effect, their protector. Beyond the financial aspect, Art Investissement aims to support its clients with a meaningful approach. Acquiring a work of art means participating in a heritage initiative, supporting the freedom of expression of men and women often engaged in activism. It also fosters a connection between those who create art and those who are committed to sharing it.
A meaningful investment with a powerful message
Investing in a work of art for display in company premises sends a strong message to clients, suppliers, shareholders, and above all, employees. The ability of a company or individual to acquire works of art reassures those who view them. It reassures them because they understand the financial significance of such an acquisition, as well as the owner's commitment to the cultural and heritage values they uphold. "Art has been at the heart of human societies since the dawn of time: it creates spaces for emotion and expression and strengthens human bonds." »
Significant Profit Potential
The art market is a stable market: the value of a work of art is indexed to the artist's reputation. A work of art is a pleasurable investment, an alternative to traditional investments. While diversifying one's assets is essential, art allows its buyer to choose to expect a return on investment in both financial and emotional terms. According to Thierry Ehrmann, founder of Artprice, investing in art can yield an annual return of over 5% for works of art valued at more than €50,000, and even 10% for works valued at more than €100,000. This situation is the result of the growth of the museum economy over the last twenty years. It is estimated that the years 2000-2015 saw more museum openings than the entire 19th and 20th centuries combined! Each year, more than 700 museums are created worldwide.
Favorable Tax Regime for Businesses
In addition to significant capital gains potential, the art market benefits from a very advantageous tax regime in France. While this type of investment is particularly attractive
