Why collect art?
Every collection begins with a first step.
We help make that step count.
Art Auction Performance
Art has consistently outperformed many traditional asset classes, with collectors seeing exceptional returns. Historical auction results reveal how artworks have appreciated significantly in value. These are real-world examples of the financial potential behind collecting.
BANKSY
Bansky is an anonymous British street artist known for his provocative stencilled works that appear on public walls. His art critiques consumerism, authority and inequality, often blending sharp humour with bold imagery. Banksy remains one of the most influential and debated figures in contemporary art.
MR. CONTROVERSIAL
Mr. Controversial is a London-based artist known for satirical oil paintings that pair vintage imagery and bold typography with sharp, relatable captions. With roots in advertising, his work blends humour, psychology and social commentary, earning viral attention and a fast-growing collector base.
ANDY WARHOL
Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement. His silkscreen prints of celebrities and consumer goods redefined the relationship between art and culture. Warhol’s work continues to influence contemporary art through its focus on fame, repetition and mass production.
MR. BRAINWASH
Mr. Brainwash is a French-born street artist known for blending graffiti, pop culture and bold colour into dynamic compositions. Linked to Banksy, he rose to fame through layered, energetic works that celebrate optimism. His art features cultural icons and attracts global collectors.

There is no minimum holding period, but the recommended time varies depending on the work you acquire. We initially recommend holding a work in your portfolio for a minimum of 2-3 years and usually 3-5 years. There is, however, no minimum holding period. You own the artwork outright and can elect to sell your art at any time.
While we encourage choosing works that you find aesthetically please, but, we understand not everyone has space to display them. We offer a secure and insured storage option which is complimentary for the first year.
