Our investment team focuses on acquiring major artworks by iconic artists who have left their mark on art history: produced by emblematic artists, their availability on the market is dwindling while demand is increasing, creating an effect of scarcity.

Without anticipating future performance, contemporary artworks by the 100 most iconic artists have outperformed the S&P 500 (Artprice 100 index) on average for more than twenty years.

The art market represented nearly $58 billion in transactions in 2024, with nearly 50% of auction sales coming from 20th-century artists⁽²⁾. Within 20th-century art, market value is concentrated on ‘blue chip’⁽³⁾ works valued at over $500k. These works represent more than 60% of the total value of auction sales, for only 1% of the works traded. Matis' strategy is therefore to focus on these blue chip works⁽³⁾, which account for the majority of the market value.

Beyond the financial aspect, your investors become members of a club that opens its doors to them for private tours or exclusive cultural events. Our investment team is at your disposal and that of your clients to share their expertise in this market, which is normally reserved for art market professionals.
