KEITH HARING

Keith Haring’s art is bold, timeless, and culturally iconic—a scarce asset that keeps rising in value.

Invest in Blue-Chip Art

At Arthur James, we view art as a key part of a modern, diversified portfolio—an alternative asset that can balance the volatility of traditional investments like stocks and bonds. While traditional portfolios, like the classic 60/40 stock-bond mix, have struggled to provide the expected security during economic downturns, alternative assets like art offer a different kind of value proposition.

Blue-chip artists, such as Warhol or Haring, serve as the “real estate” of the art world—stable, enduring, and consistently appreciating over time. These pieces provide a solid foundation in your portfolio, offering long-term value growth with minimal risk.

The Artprice Global Index is also overall upward, but less volatile. The S&P 500 shows a dip around 2009 before a steady rise.

Emerging Artists and undiscovered talent.

Emerging artists are the dynamic counterpart, representing the future of the market. Investing in these talents is like placing a smart bet in an up-and-coming market—higher risk, but with the potential for exponential returns as these artists gain recognition.

At Arthur James, we curate portfolios that blend the reliability of blue-chip names with the high-growth potential of emerging artists, creating a balanced strategy that speaks to both stability and future opportunity in alternative assets.
