Know the Value of Your Collection
Art Auction Analytics’ Artwork Market Value tool sets the standard for a rational approach to quickly obtaining the market value of an artwork purchased or appraised within the last five years. The Artwork Market Value tool is driven by AMV and the underlying KPMs, which provide the most comprehensive insights into what an artist’s artworks would sell for in the market today. The output is the equivalent of the fair market value price for an artwork.
You can use the Artwork Market Value tool to value your collection for:
- Estate planning
- Filing taxes
- Loaning out a collection
- Obtaining insurance
- Selling artworks
Pro-Actively Manage Your Collection
Make use of the asset tracking feature of our Artwork Market Value tool, which is updated monthly, to actively monitor changes in the value of your artworks.
To the extent you have noticed a change in value, investigate further, using our easily accessible AMV and suite of KPM indicators to analyze what is driving the change in value.
With the Art Auction Analytics platform you can identify:
- Whether an artist or artwork in your collection is currently undervalued or overvalued;
- What performance drivers (Demand, Liquidity, Volatility, etc.) are impacting the value; and
- Is the value stable or volatile; and to what extent the value may change.
Understand the Risks
We understand that collecting art has risks. When the value of an artwork drops, not only is there a financial loss, but selling the work, or leveraging it into a financial instrument such as an art-secured loan, may be in jeopardy.
Art Auction Analytics gives you the ability to get out in front of the risks to the value of your collection:
- Use our AMV and KPM trending data to determine if the risk is temporary or has the probability to be long-term; and
- Use the Artwork Market Value tool to calculate the change in value, and to establish a price at which the artwork can be sold.
Time the Market for Optimal Results
As with any other financial asset, timing the art market for the best returns is the ultimate goal. With Art Auction Analytics’ platform, you will have the insight needed prior to executing a transaction on the primary or secondary market. Whether the situation calls for on-the-spot answers or allows for a more detailed review, Art Auction Analytics has you covered.
Establish Optimal Transaction Point
Assess if this is a good time to buy or sell based on where the Artist’s AMV is now, and where it is trending.
Is the Artist in an overheated, or cold market, and what are the short-term or long-term effects?
Confirm Buy Fits Financial Strategy
Identify if an artist’s AMV and KPM profile match your risk/reward strategy.
Is a blue-chip artist a good addition to your portfolio, or an emerging artist more suited?
Calibrate the Transacation Price
Determine if the asking price is in line with the AMV for the artist.
Does the price quoted by the auction house match your expectations of value?
