Contemporary Art Market Appreciation vs. S&P 500 (1995–2021 1H)

Contemporary Art Annual Appreciation
13.6%*
S&P 500 Annualized Return
9.5% (with dividends)
* Calculated based on all publicly available auction sale data from major
auction houses for works by contemporary artists (i.e. artists producing work
after 1945). Past Appreciation is no guarantee of future results, and there are
significant differences between investing in art, and investing in stocks, bonds
and other asset classes. Masterworks does not offer securities that directly
correlate to the Contemporary Art market. See important disclosures.

Historical Appreciation
Historical appreciation is defined as the median annualized appreciation rate
across paintings (unless otherwise noted) that have sold at least twice at
public auction by a given artist, including purchase and sale commissions paid
to the auction house. Appreciation rates are not comparable to, or intended to
represent or be a proxy for, returns on Masterworks shares. Masterworks
periodically updates historical appreciation rates for auction activity, but
such data is not updated in real time and may not include the most recent
auction results for any particular artist. Artist information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and Masterworks does not own, securitize, purchase or
sell works by all of such artists. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results.
