I understand the concern, now.
It's understandable why there is so much concern about the legitimacy of this platform. The need to have a person on the phone to answer questions done online with other investment platforms, like Robinhood, Webull, Ark, so on, is odd. But I figured out why. They start with a "minimum" of 15k investment, then 1k, then say 500. This is all a lie. It can be done for $20. But if you had an online form, you'd find that out immediately, and not have someone lie to you. When I asked, the person told me the minimum was $500 invested in one painting. But then they let me do $125 each. Which was also a lie, as it is any amount, done in $20 increments. A three month wait to access the trading portion. K1 per art piece. Referral program is dubious, at best. I understand why their platform is diminishing, and the push via salesmen seems like the lesser of two choices. Instead of opening up to more people and making this easy, they are looking for whales. That's fine, but whales research. Within a few minutes one will find the feedback on this service. Anyway, in three months, I can then see the secondary market. Maybe it'll be better.
Alternative investments are just more…
Alternative investments are just more fun that piling into an index or bond funds. If it is a cliché, then Masterworks proves it out.
Alts should be part of any portfolio. Masterworks' objects are unique, physical works of art which are not correlated to gold or bitcoin value.
I get to become a partial owner in art I actually like by
noteworthy artists.
A Pleasant Surprise
It was a surprise, really, because two days ago the system didn’t work for me. I checked it again today by complete chance and everything worked fine. I didn’t need any help to complete my transaction, and now I own a piece of a Basquiat. A Pleasant Surprise.
Very Professional and friendly
Ryan, Chris, and Layla were very helpful with getting me onboarded into their platform. Very professional and they answered all of my questions.
Thank you

A member for over a year
I've been a member for over a year, and I've been participating for about 10 months. The experience has been fun, classy, and knowledgeable. The Offerings have been awesome and often. I wish I had more money to invest.
Art lessons
This has been a great investment opportunity and it teaches me a lot about art that I didn’t know previously.

A great company
A great company, making previously inaccessible art investment accessible!
Erik Bringsjord was/is my contact
Erik Bringsjord was/is my contact. He answered all of my questions, talked me through the process, the historical performance and why I should consider investing in fine art. After talking with my Financial advisor, thinking and praying about investing, I decided to make a small investment and see how it goes. Overall a very good experience.
Great People
Both people I spoke with - Ivan and Alanna were very helpful and easy to communicate with.
Very good. Not great.
Very unique and interesting way to allow the layperson to invest in art work. Their fees are high - 1.5% annual and they keep 20% of the profits when the art sells. It is also difficult to find out where your profits are deposited. The other functions that are provided - invitations to galleries and the provided research is excellent.
