Trade Art and Invest with Masterworks

Masterworks is an award-winning mobile investment platform that makes it easy for everyday people to invest in shares of multi-million-dollar art. Masterworks is the only platform that lets you invest in works by artists like Basquiat, Picasso, Banksy, and more.

Alternative Investments in Blue-Chip Art

Compared to other asset classes, contemporary art investments have outperformed the S&P 500, real estate, and gold for the past 26 years with a price appreciation of 13.8%, but there has been no way to invest in it. Masterworks is the first company to offer art investment products to the investing public. Forget the real money games and make an investment that is truly worth your time and money.

Customer Reviews
Elliot ‘My experience with Masterworks has been positive, I used to use win cash games to make some money from my phone but always found it so confusing. My bank and my Money Lion have looked much more pleasing since investing in art on Masterworks!’

Sarah ‘I used to invest in crypt but that felt more like a cryptogram than a simple way to make money! Now I’m using Masterworks and couldn’t be happier. There aren’t any money games and they’re not throwing ‘win cash’ in your face every five seconds, it’s a genuine investment. Really enjoy this app and my Roth IRA is looking much healthier now!’

Ratings and reviews

I like the concept, have invested some money in it. The app feels a bit clunky though, and I really dislike that I can't completely deactivate notifications about new product launches.

enables you to be the owner (even though it's only a fraction) of amazing works of art done by brilliant artists. It's still early to talk about the return of investment potential. For now, I consider it as a very fun and very risky way to diversify my investments into art and culture.

Great support and recommendations. The app can be enhanced for sure, but for me works fine. Besides the stock market it is good to put money in other alternative investments, like real estate, art, perhaps even crypto.
