About Us
Art provides the world with a sensory experience like no other. To own a piece of this world is a dream, to view it a privilege and to earn a rate of return on it, a bonus. Art Equity has managed to combine all three.
Art Equity is dedicated to innovation in the art market. We combine expertise in art, art education and investment to guide the process of art acquisition. Our client base spans investors, collectors, corporate art buyers and first time art purchasers seeking the finest quality artwork by emerging, mid career and established artists.
Art Equity is in touch with the art community throughout Australia sourcing a diverse range of investment quality artworks of varying artistic practice. This requires extensive experience and a discerning eye. We track artist's performances in both the primary and secondary market as part of our ongoing art market research. We believe in education as a fundamental tool to inspire passion and confidence in our clients and empower them to make valued judgments.
As you come to appreciate the Art Equity difference you will see we provide much more to our clients than a traditional gallery space.
Art Equity’s Services
- Dedicated Account Executives
An Art Equity dedicated account executive will give you obligation free advice. Supported by our experience, research and expertise they will help you find art that inspires and meets your investment goals.
As you acquire more art, you may want to consider including a variety of artists and styles in your collection. By building an art portfolio that’s not only pleasing to your taste it can also optimise investment potential.
We also provide the opportunity for a group of art investors to create a shared portfolio, enabling greater diversity and further increasing potential for returns.
Purchasing a rental portfolio provides you with the opportunity to generate greater returns by renting out your portfolio to the corporate sector. Throughout the lease period you retain ownership of your artworks while receiving a rental return of between 6.5 and 9.5 per cent per annum.
We believe the way to secure significant returns is through market education. This is demonstrated throughout the year with our education seminars, exhibition openings and special events.
Art Equity uses an independent licensed art valuer to provide valuation certificates on all artworks. These are important for the resale of your artwork and are necessary in securing your investment for insurance and superannuation purposes.
All clients receive Art Equity’s monthly art market report Art Insight. Art Insight reports on market developments and trends, media views and key artist performances. Subscribers also have exclusive access to premium rental portfolios.
The CBD location of the Art Equity gallery offers a central base to view art and have one-on-one discussions with an Art Equity consultant. Our dynamic exhibition programme covers a diversity of media and artists. We welcome your participation at our events.
Our relationship with artists and printmakers enables us to provide you with new release works ahead of the market. We also commission works from artists on request. We offer a range of art genres and styles to suit the various tastes of our clients, sourcing work from leading modern, contemporary and Indigenous Australian artists.
With the lowest art rental rates in Australia, Art Equity Rentals offers businesses the most affordable access to original artworks by leading emerging and established artists. Renting art makes great sense. There’s no capital outlay, rental payments are typically tax deductible for businesses and you have the flexibility to rotate works.
