In today’s complex financial landscape, investors are increasingly turning to alternative assets to build resilient, diversified portfolios. Art, a historically exclusive asset class, offers both stability and low correlation to traditional financial markets. EVIDENT is pleased to announce the launch of our new Art Vertical, which provides clients with direct, flexible access to iconic artworks through a fully digital, professionally structured platform.
In collaboration with Iconic Art Inc., a global leader in the art investment market, EVIDENT’s Art Vertical opens new possibilities in art investment—where clients are empowered to select individual artworks and gain transparent, institutional-grade exposure to this culturally significant asset class.
Art’s appeal as an investment has steadily increased over the last two decades. The global art market, valued at $1.75 trillion with annual transaction volumes reaching $65 billion, has demonstrated robust growth with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% over the past decade. Even during periods of economic turbulence, fine art has maintained a low correlation with traditional markets, providing stability and resilience for investors seeking alternative avenues.
Through EVIDENT’s Art Vertical, we bring a modern approach to art investing that retains the tangible and cultural value of owning physical assets. Clients gain access to a highly curated selection of works by artists such as Warhol, Picasso, and Magritte, bridging the worlds of culture and investment.
Our Art Vertical is made possible through a strategic partnership with Iconic Art Inc., an art investment firm renowned for its expertise and leadership in the global art market.
