Hi {{prospect_firstname}},

 

We were provided with your information from our partner, Investing.com, as someone seeking to learn more about art investing.

 

“Blue-chip” artwork (defined by the Artprice100® index of the top 100 artists, such as Picasso, Monet, Cezanne, and Warhol) has an average annual return of 8.9% since 2000, outperforming the S&P by more than 180%1. The art asset class has low correlation to other asset classes. Citibank has done some research, which suggests allocating between 1.4 - 4.0% to art in certain investment portfolios.2

 

The recent volatility in the stock markets has contributed to more people considering alternative asset classes such as “blue-chip” art.3

 

If you’re unfamiliar with us, we are Masterworks, the first platform dedicated to offering investment opportunities in great works of art. Let us show you.

 

Do you have time to speak in the next few days?

 

Best regards,

 

Mike

A message from our founder, Scott Lynn

 

Hi,

 

Welcome to Masterworks! You’ve joined a growing community of more than 12,000 individuals and investment advisors who, like you, appreciate the value of investing in great works of art.

 

I started Masterworks to allow anyone to invest in great, multi-million dollar paintings. Historically, the art world has been controlled by a very few number of collectors—usually ultra-wealthy individuals who have come to own some of history’s most important objects. For the first time, Masterworks now makes it possible for everyone to own and invest in these great works of art.

 

We fundamentally believe that art should be a component of every investor’s portfolio (similar to real estate, private equity, or other alternative asset classes). And over time, we hope that those investors will ultimately convert to knowledgeable collectors supporting living artists and the art industry overall.

 

Here’s what you can expect from us:

 

  Access to expertly-vetted investment opportunities in great works of art
     
  All offerings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     
  Exclusive access to art world experts and events

 

To get started, just click on the link below to view our offerings. On behalf of our team, we look to working with you

 

   
 

 

Scott Lynn, Founder and CEO

 

We are “testing the waters” under Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933. This process allows companies to determine whether there may be interest in an eventual offering of its securities. We are not under any obligation to make an offering under Regulation A. We may choose to make an offering to some, but not all, of the people who indicate an interest in investing, and that offering might not be made under Regulation A. If we go ahead with an offering, we will only be able to make sales after we have filed an offering statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the SEC has “qualified” the offering statement. The information in that offering statement will be more complete than the information we are providing now, and could differ in important ways. You must read the documents filed with the SEC before investing.

 

No money or other consideration is being solicited, and if sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy the securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until the Offering Statement filed by the company with the SEC has been qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification.

 

An indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.

 

By using this website, you accept our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Any person interested in investing in any masterworks offering should review our disclosures and the publicly filed offering statement relating to that offering, a copy of which will be available on this website.

 

After the offering statement has been publicly filed you may obtain a copy of the preliminary offering circular that is part of that offering statement at www.masterworks.io.
