From acquisition to sale : discover more about Matis's investment strategy
01
Buying phase: the added value is secured at acquisition
Seizing Opportunities in Auction Sales
The auction market is not efficient. From this observation, Matis monitors and follows all contemporary art auction sales, positioning ourselves as the sole bidder on certain lots.
Seizing Opportunities in Private Sales
Our ability to finance the artworks quickly as our network of partner merchants allow us to access confidential acquisition opportunities on artworks that are rarely exposed.
Supporting Partner Galleries in Financing Their Artworks
The art market has very little debt, placing some gallery owners in a position where they cannot buy certain artworks themselves that they would like to present to their collectors. Matis assists them in acquiring and financing their inventory.
02
Selling phase : Replacing the artwork at its market value
Entrusting our artworks to the world's leading galleries
Selling is a key business in the art market. Matis entrusts the artworks to galleries specializing in the artist in question, capable of placing a work in front of the right collector, at its market value.
Matis collaborates with leading contemporary art galleries in Europe, the United States, Asia, and the Middle East.
Relying on market comparables
The artworks targeted by Matis are those of artists whose production is serial and established. We compare market values of works from the same series to define a maximum acquisition price and secure our sale's added value.
Supporting our partner galleries in financing their artworks
The world's leading galleries have little access to debt and currently carry most of their work on their balance sheet. Matis assists them by allowing them to expand their offer at lower costs and become more desirable to their collector clients.
