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... See more

One Year In

I've been invested in Masterworks for nearly a year and though nothing in my portfolio has sold yet, it has been great to see/learn about the artworks offered.
One sour note: I tried to redeem points earned on the daily art quiz for my Picasso mug and it never came, even after I inquired. That was months ago.

New Client Experience

Masterworks notifyied me in October while my wife and I were moving. This gave me time to research Masterworks, their program/ratings, and the artists hinghlighted on the Website. This made the actual teleconference meeting go very smoothly. The presentor and onboarding representative both answered all my questions.

Website has been updated

My experience in the past with the Masterworks website has been seamless and very straightforward. The updated version has taken a backward step with all the Legal Jargon etc al, that scrolling through quickly requires a good cup of Joe. Needless to say, I know what I want, and yeh yeh yeh the legal side and privacy bullshit should be an easy option to agree to, not blindingly searching a webpage looking for a Box to place an agreement stamp in. Spending way too long to make my purchase. Masterworks needs to go back and revise the update so users like me, who are 63 and nearly blind, can easily tick the boxes and move on.

If i could give them zero i would

If i could give them zero i would - there are a bunch of reviews on the internet about how much of a scam this is but i can tell you for sure - if you want a stressful way to turn 15k into 10k over 4 years - this is it. The app is terrible, everything is crawling with charges AND they devalue your investment over time to pay their 'handling fees'. Do your research - anyone who says this is a good shout is getting kick backs. DO NOT GO NEAR IT - YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. Also - there is a second Masterworks trustpilot account on the domain - masterworks.io with a rating of 2.5* so clearly this one was setup to counter that - with almost 200 oddly positive reviews.

Investing in Fine Art Made Accessible

I’ve had a positive experience using Masterworks as an alternative investment platform focused on blue-chip art. What stands out most is that they make an asset class that was traditionally reserved for ultra-wealthy collectors more accessible to everyday investors.

The platform is easy to navigate, and the educational materials are helpful for understanding how art investing works, including the risks, holding periods, and fee structure. I also appreciate the transparency around each offering, with detailed information about the artwork, the artist’s market history, and the acquisition strategy.

Another strong point is diversification. Art has a low historical correlation with traditional markets like stocks and bonds, which makes it an interesting component for a long-term, diversified portfolio. The ability to invest in fractional shares of high-value artworks lowers the barrier to entry significantly.

That said, this is not a short-term or highly liquid investment. Capital can be tied up for several years, and returns depend on successful resale of the artwork. Fees should also be carefully reviewed so investors fully understand the cost structure before committing.

Overall, I see it as a serious and well-structured platform for long-term investors who want exposure to the fine art market and understand that patience and risk awareness are essential.

Anisha Mittal has the X Factor!

Anisha Mittal was not the first advisor that has contacted me in the last year, but she was the first to actually initiate my first six art purchases. She has the "X"factor that many sales people often lack- that perfect blend of competence, ability to listen to intentively, follow-up with requests, and not too pushy. We set dates and made it happen. I wish her the best with Masterworks.

Great Onboarding Process

Christopher White was patient while it took longer than expected for me to arrange for funds, and he held my initial investment portfolio for over a month.

When I watch her on Johnny Carson show

When I watch her on Johnny Carson show, I decided to invest a few $$ in her paintings. I did like the painting as well. I am definitely losing $$ in my account at MasterWorks. I enjoy the feeling of supporting the arts.

Excellent platform support

I made a data entry error on my profile. Leala was very patient in the process of providing sufficient identity verification and in tracking down the error of data entry on my part.

Do not invest!

After one week, no confirmation of the money receiving. No completion of the buying process. None reaction of any kind to my mails. Does this company really exists or is it just a scam?
