Our observation
The direct acquisition of contemporary masterpieces requires expertise and networks in a market where information is asymmetric.
Not only does it involve mobilizing a significant amount of cash, often hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros, but also appraising the artwork, assessing its condition, provenance, and more. Additionally, it requires to organize its professional transportation as to insure the artwork throughout its lifecycle.
Finally, finding a future buyer can be complex, demanding access to and a deep understanding of gallery and dealer networks.
Our solution
Our expert team carefully selects investment opportunities for you and takes care of due diligence on the artwork (condition, certificate, provenance), as well as its transportation and insurance.
Through investment in our club deals, it becomes possible to invest in multiple artworks made by major 20th-century artists simultaneously. Starting from the selection phase, we collaborate with leading galleries and/or specialists of the acquired artists to entrust the artworks for resale.

Matis Identifies Strong Art Market Trends
Matis determines present and future important trends in the art market and identifies iconic artists to follow via the cross-analysis of market research on art history movements and the examination of public and private transactions connected to the buying and selling of artworks. Indeed, artists such as Warhol, Basquiat, and Kusama have withstood the test of time. Their works' availability decreases as their demand rises, resulting in a scarcity effect.
Matis Selects Major Artworks
The artworks selected by Matis are appreciated by museums, leading worldwide galleries, and foreign collectors, with acquisition prices ranging from 500,000 to 5,000,000 dollars. Our team has the expertise to swiftly determine the optimal purchase price, enabling us to structure diverse transactions aimed at maximizing resale value from the moment of acquisition. Because of our experience, we can acquire at a low enough price to resale through art market specialists (galleries) who are most familiar with prospective customers.
Matis Structures Club Deals for You to Invest
The club deal is a form of collective financing that allows multiple investors to pool their funds to invest in a project that would otherwise be inaccessible when investing alone.
For each artwork, a Simplified Joint Stock Company (SAS) is created in which private investors can invest through the acquisition of convertible bonds.
Artworks Are Strategically Consigned to Top-Tier Galleries to Maximize Resale Value
Matis delegates the re-sale of the artworks to art galleries specializing in their respective artists, capable of replacing the artwork in front of the right collector at its correct market value.
Matis collaborates with the largest contemporary art galleries in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia.

What is a club deal ?
A club deal is a collective investment structure, where individual investors combine resources to fund a variety of projects (stock market, real estate, art, and more.)
It offers access to high-value opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach due to limited networks, expertise, or capital.
Investing in Club Deals within Contemporary Art
In the context of art, a legal structure is established to manage the investment in a specific artwork. Investors assume the role of bondholders, providing the capital necessary for the acquisition of the artwork.
Returns from this transaction are based on the capital gains realized upon its eventual resale.
Legal status and
co-investment
For each club deal, an investment vehicle is created, enabling participation in a share of the artwork through the acquisition of convertible bonds.

- If you have a referral code: enter the code directly on this page and follow the different steps;
- If you do not have a referral code: complete this entry form on this page to obtain a referral code.

Subscribing to a Matis club deal results in the acquisition of convertible bonds into shares.
After your subscription, you will be regularly informed of news concerning your investment, on topics such as:
- the transportation and valuation of the work;
- the consignment date of the work to our partner galleries;
- the exhibition of the work at contemporary art fairs and other artistic events.
Once the work is resold, within a target horizon of two years, the invested amounts and the profit made on the resale of the work (not guaranteed) will be directly transferred to your Matis payment account.
You can choose to transfer these funds directly to your bank account or reinvest them in another club deal.
Investment in our club deals is open to individuals or legal entities, French tax residents or not.
However, Matis reserves the right to decline certain subscriptions if customer due diligence or fund traceability requirements are not satisfactorily met, in accordance with regulatory obligations.
The simplified joint stock company holding the artwork issues convertible bonds into shares.
Matis uses a non-conversion premium mechanism to transfer the capital gain issued from the sale of the work by the holding to our investors, limiting the tax impact of this gain.
A stock setup would have been possible but would have led to a double taxation system that we wanted to avoid.
This structure has been reviewed and validated by a law firm advising us on the matter.
Matis is remunerated exclusively by its investor clients and only at the time of investment.
Each investment is subject to entry fees, divided as follows:
- 5% commission on the invested amount for the provision of order reception and transmission services
- 5% commission on the invested amount for the provision of investment services
In addition, Matis receives 20% of any profit generated on a club deal, based on the performance achieved.
All Internal Rates of Return* (IRR) and target returns presented in our documentation are net of these fees.
*The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) measures the profitability of an investment over a given period. It takes into account the evolution of the value of shares and distributed capital gains over the period, as well as subscription and management fees supported by the investor.
Matis club deals are available with a minimum investment of €20,000.
The convertible bonds into shares offered by Matis are subject to the tax regime of securities. Capital gains are thus subject to a flat tax of 30% for individuals, (17.2% in case of exemption), and taxed on corporate income tax or income tax in the case of certain subscriptions for civil companies choosing this tax regime.
These investments are not included in the taxable base of the IFI (French Wealth Tax).
