Philip Hofman, CEO, The Fine Art Fund Group

“Thoroughly documented and very well-written. . . . In addition to its original data, this edition of Skate’s pulls together bits and pieces of often hard-to-find statistics from other published resources, making it indispensable for anyone researching the market for artworks.”

About the Book

The fine arts represent one of the oldest and most consistently profitable investment vehicles. Yet, despite its maturity and the tens of billions of dollars generated each year through art sales, the art market has remained uniquely resistant to the drivers that have revolutionized virtually every other investment class.

Now institutional and private investors can approach both active and passive investment in the global art market with a degree of transparency unavailable to previous generations of investors.

The most comprehensive how-to guide of its kind, Skate’s Art Investment Handbook demystifies art investing. It provides a detailed, dispassionate look at the global art market and outlines an original analytical model and rational strategies for profiting from this alternative asset class.

Drawing on more than a century of statistical data, original valuation metrics, and other powerful proprietary tools, the founder and CEO of IndexAtlas Group, LLC, Sergey Skaterschikov describes proven techniques that allow you to:

  • Correctly value art assets
  • Accurately forecast their long-term values
  • Precisely track and forecast trends in the notoriously fickle art market
  • Expertly deploy strategies for optimizing returns on art investments
  • Confidently invest in funds, derivatives, and other passive art investment vehicles

Taking art investing out of the murky realm of sentiment and aesthetics and into the bright light of financial valuation and market statistics, Skate’s Art Investment Handbook provides what you need to generate consistent profitability in the global art market.
