Bottom line.
Investing in art carries some level of risk, just like any other investment.

Art Funds acquire art to sell and not own.
Most art funds have a pre-specified investment period and end-date by which the fund's art investments are to be sold.
While art funds own their art for between five to seven years as an average, all art must be sold within the life of the art fund..
Art funds are generally privately offered investment funds dedicated to the generation of returns through the acquisition and disposition of works of art.
They are managed by a professional art investment management or advisory firm who receives a management fee and a portion of any returns delivered by the fund..
