Over the past 20 years or so, art has become not only a "collectable" but a genuine form of investment and many individuals and corporations include art works in the their investment portfolio.
Collecting works of art can be an exciting and satisfying experience and with professional guidance and direction, it can also become a financially rewarding exercise, both in the short and long term.
Wagner Art Gallery can offer clients advice on commencing a collection or building on an existing collection, in both the Corporate and private sector.
The growth of the primary and secondary art market and statistical information available, such as the Australian Art Market Movements Handbook published by Deutscher Menzies, in which Roger Dedman provides statistical information on the growth of the art market and individual artists, is an indication of the increased interest in art as a form of investment, and the need to be properly informed.
In order to maximise your investment, it is necessary to obtain professional advice and guidelines, not only in the selection of artists and their artwork but also for the entity in which those works are to be acquired, be it, as individuals, companies, trusts or superannuation funds.
Consideration has to be given to the impact of :
- Income tax
- Capital Gains Tax
- Superannuation guidelines as set out by the Australian Taxation Office
- Family relationships
and a number of other factors.
Wagner Art Gallery can assist you in the selection of artists and their works and can put you in touch with experts in the fields of Taxation and Superannuation, to advise and guide you.
