WHY ART


ART STANDS APART


IT HAS HISTORICALLY OUTPERFORMED THE S&P 500

Contemporary Art has boasted 11.5% annual returns from 1995 to 2023,
outperforming the S&P 500's 9.6% over the same period.

Artprice100©

S&P 500
The Artprice100© is comprised of the art market's 100 most successful artists,
without any other aesthetic or preferential consideration, based on their
auction revenue over the previous five years (in this case, 1 January 2018 to 31
December 2023). We also apply a liquidity criterion: for each artist, at least
ten works (excluding prints and multiples) must have been auctioned annually for
them to be included in the calculations. There are significant differences
between art investments and stocks, past performance does not guarantee future
results, see important disclosures. Masterworks does not provide investments in
financial products that mirrors the ArtPrice 100.


OUR RESULTS

The annualized net returns are net of all fees and costs, calculated from the
closing date of the primary offering to the date the sale is consummated.
Annualized Net Return may not be indicative of Masterworks paintings not yet
sold. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

When Masterworks presents the total return multiple of an investment in a sold
artwork, “total return” or “MOIC”, it refers to the percentage change or
multiple of the amount distributable in respective Class A shares net of all
fees and expenses in relation to the initial offering price, calculated from the
initial offering date to the date the sale is consummated. MOIC or total return
may not be indicative of Masterworks paintings not yet sold and past performance
is not indicative of future results.

How We Select Artworks



How We Buy Artworks

How We Securitize Artworks

How You Invest

How You Can Make Money

Our in-house research team identifies the artists and artworks we should pursue
and attractive value zones in which to buy.


WHY MASTERWORKS


OUR UNFAIR ADVANTAGES

We strive to beat contemporary art market returns by using a proprietary data
set considering 60 modern variables, and tasking a team with being in every art
conversation that matters.


AN ADVANCED ML DATA MODEL

We analyzed millions of data points to narrow down the most indicative factors,
from artist demographics and digital interest trends to price growth in similar
art. We then predict growth rates for each artist, which illuminates otherwise
invisible opportunities.


OUR ART INSIDERS AND EXPERTS

Art trades at auction or on a handshake. We've assembled a global team to play
this game better than anyone. We've bought more than 70% of our art privately,
allowing us to minimize third party transaction costs, and maximize investor
value.

Masterworks typically acquires ‘blue-chip’ artwork from the major auction
houses, private collectors, and established galleries, with acquisitions focused
on artwork representative of a top 100 artist’s mature style, that it is able to
acquire at an attractive cost relative to value based on estimated historical
appreciation rates, and an established track record of multiple
multimillion-dollar sales annually.

None of the information on our website (“Site”) should be construed as
investment, financial, tax, or legal advice.

Information on the Site has been prepared by Masterworks, LLC (“Masterworks”)
without reference to any particular individual’s investment goals or financial
situation and contains summary information relating to Masterworks investment
opportunities (“Offerings”) that is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the more detailed discussions contained in the respective Offering Circular
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other offering
materials relating to such Offering. You are encouraged to consult with tax,
legal, and financial professionals before investing in an Offering. YOU SHOULD
CAREFULLY REVIEW THE RELEVANT MASTERWORKS OFFERING CIRCULAR BEFORE DECIDING TO
INVEST, A COPY OF WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THIS WEBSITE HERE, OR ON THE SEC’S
EDGAR WEBSITE.

For any proposed Offering pursuant to an Offering Circular that has not yet been
qualified by the SEC, no money or other consideration is being solicited, and if
sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy the securities can be
accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until the Offering
Statement for such Offering has been qualified by the SEC and any such offer may
be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any
time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification. An
indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.

By using the Site, you agree to the Masterworks Terms of Use (which require that
disputes be resolved through binding arbitration) and Privacy Policy. For more
information about our Site and Offerings, you should review our Important
Disclosures.

Masterworks is “testing the waters” under Regulation A under the Securities Act
of 1933. Masterworks can only make sales after an offering statement has been
filed, and “qualified” by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As
such, no offer consideration is currently being solicited or accepted and any
such offers may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation, at any time before
notice of SEC acceptance. An indication of interest involves no obligation. You
must read the offering documents filed with the SEC before investing.

Selected Similar Sales Appreciation. Selected similar sales provide an estimate
of the historical appreciation rate of the specific artwork by looking at a set
of similar works by the artist that have sold at public auction. The set of
similar works selected will include all works by the same artist believed to
have features and characteristics that are similar to the subject artwork, which
may include size, medium, color, composition elements, period of creation and
other features. The applicable time period for which we calculate Selected
Similar Sale Appreciation is from the earliest date that an artwork by the
artist was sold at public auction until the most recent date prior to the
qualification of an applicable offering that the Masterworks public sale
database has been updated. Although the artworks selected for inclusion in the
set of similar works have similar characteristics to the subject artwork, each
individual artwork is unique in terms of artistic content, coloring, condition,
provenance and other factors. We, therefore, cannot make any determination or
representation that our estimate of the historical appreciation rate of an
artwork is correct or predictive of future value.

When Masterworks presents the net return of an investment in a sold artwork,
“net return” or “IRR” refers to the annualized internal rate of return net of
all fees and expenses, calculated from the offering closing date to the date the
sale is consummated. IRR may not be indicative of Masterworks paintings not yet
sold and past performance is not indicative of future results. For additional
information regarding the calculation of IRR for a particular investment in an
artwork that has been sold, a reconciliation will be filed as an exhibit to Form
1-U and will be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

“Total return” or “MOIC”, it refers to the percentage change or multiple of the
amount distributable in respective Class A shares net of all fees and expenses
in relation to the initial offering price, calculated from the initial offering
date to the date the sale is consummated. MOIC or total return may not be
indicative of Masterworks paintings not yet sold and past performance is not
indicative of future results.

*Reinvested dividends are treated as if you actually received the cash and are
taxed accordingly.
