Wealthy's Art Investments Beat Stocks, Real Estate Over Last Decade
Sick of losing your money in a volatile stock market?
Start buying art instead.
That’s been the strategy of the world’s wealthiest investors
during times of economic uncertainty stretching back to World War II, CNNMoney
reports. It turns out that investing in the art market has a number of perks
that financial markets don’t.
Since the value of fine art tends to appreciate, it's an
investment that can offer consistently high returns. As a result, art has often
outperformed stocks over the last decade for the wealthy, according to
CNNMoney. The idea has been backed by hedge fund manager and author James
Rickards, who wrote in U.S. News & Daily Report that "the basic idea
that... art outlast[s] and outperform[s] riskier assets such as stocks, bonds,
and cash seems sound when viewed from the perspective of centuries."
Indeed, the amount international investors are willing to
pay for art is a testament to its value around the world. China surpassed the U.S. to become the world’s largest
market for art and antiques this year with a 30 percent share in the global
market that's estimated to be worth about $60 billion in 2011, according to a
March report by The European Fine Art Fair. Earlier this year, the royal family
of Qatar
made the most expensive art transaction in history by buying Paul Cézanne's
"The Card Players" for $250 million.
And the purchases may only get bigger. Experts expect 2012
to be a big year for the art world with several famous works up for sale. Most
notably, Edvard Munch’s iconic painting “The Scream” is being offered at
auction by Sotheby’s Wednesday for an estimated $80 million.

Daydreaming on the Dark Side
An
art exhibition should speak for itself, but shows at the Richard J. Demato Fine
Arts Gallery so bear the imprint of its energetic owner – his eclectic
enthusiasm and confident, slightly off-center style, not to mention shrewd
business judgment — that it seems impossible not to sense his head and soul in
“Reverie,” the gallery’s new exhibit. That is despite his assertion that it’s “mostly
organized” by his assistant director, Eve Gianni Corio.
