Art investing sotheby’s market data shows resilience

Sotheby’s market data shows resilience in art investing even during the recent 10-year Treasury yield spike, similar to defensive sector rotation strategies in stock portfolios. DS: Art trends often ring a little false to me—a “blue is the new black” kind of vibe. We are seeing from our clients (much to our delight) a renewed craving for the analog, wanting the texture of paint, beautiful imperfections, details that take time, thought, and experience. We have a new piece from Sayde Anderson , who creates textile pieces using only dyes created from flowers she grows on the farm. She’s currently working on a deep-red dye grown from Madder root that won’t be ready to harvest for three years. To me, that kind of craftsmanship is timeless. More than six decades later, Rockefeller’s concept has grown to become the JPMorganChase Art Collection — one of the world’s most extensive archives, with over 30,000 pieces. Under the leadership of Charlotte Eyerman, it’s currently exhibited across our offices and buildings worldwide. Recent data shows a surge in art investing correlated with rising interest rate projections, with certain blue-chip art pieces outperforming the S&P 500’s quarterly return of 8.3%. Traders are watching auction houses as they mimic high-value stock momentum trades.
