  • Art has long been considered a unique asset class, offering diversification beyond traditional markets. As the art world evolves, investors are exploring both physical artworks and digital assets like NFTs.

It also notes the importance of passion for art, as the investment often requires a long-term commitment and personal enjoyment of the pieces collected.
