In this interview conducted by Funds Society with Elisa Hernando, founder and CEO of Arte Global, an international art consultancy, as part of ARCOmadrid, the growing role of the art market is analyzed, as well as how Arte Global supports new collectors through its First Collectors program. This program is designed to guide those who want to get started in art investment, offering personalized advice on the acquisition and management of works.
During the conversation, Hernando highlights the strength of the art market today. "According to a report by Artprice , investment in the 100 best-selling artists at auction has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 in recent years. The study shows that €100 invested in art in 2000 would have reached an average value of €709 by 2023 (+90%), while the same amount invested in the S&P 500 would have reached only €260." This data underscores the potential of art not only as a cultural expression, but also as a profitable and secure investment vehicle.
Finally, Hernando shares his expectations for the upcoming edition of ARCOmadrid , noting that the fair is "the ideal opportunity to invest in contemporary art." Arte Global, with its international track record and experience advising collectors, has established itself as a reliable reference for those looking to enter or consolidate their presence in the global art market.
