Art - the impenetrable Asset Class
- High cost is a major barrier to entry in the art market, limiting potential buyers and slowing down sales.
- It takes around 25 years to sell a “blue-chip” artwork or antiquity, making the market illiquid. This lack of liquidity benefits UHNW individuals who face less competition due to their spending power.
- The structure of the art market, including collectors, dealers, agents, and auctioneers, may contribute to this illiquidity.
- The way information is processed within this network gives absolute power to a few participants, making it difficult for new competition to enter.
