According to Artvest Partners, an art advisory firm based in New York that publishes indexes tracking the performance of different art categories, the art fund universe is worth $1 billion, only a fraction of the sector when you consider that the global turnover in both private sales and at auction, according to the firm, was approximately $65 billion in 2011. Jeff Rabin, who co-founded Artvest with fellow Christie’s alumnus Michael Plummer, is currently establishing an art fund for a major institution. He believes investing in art through a fund is a good way to access the market, as long as you do your homework to avoid the pitfalls and conflicts of interest that can occur.
