Description

Investment Thesis 📝
Strong Price Momentum & International Demand
David Yarrow’s archival pigment prints have seen a sharp price increase over the past six years, driven by his expanding global collector base and strong gallery partnerships. With "Stratton Oakmont" featuring an iconic American landmark and priced 10% below gallery value, this large-format work is well-positioned for resale in the U.S.—a key market for Yarrow’s photography.

Attractive Return Profile
Priced at €50,600, the artwork offers a balanced CAGR of 23.6%, with projected valuations reaching up to €131,141 in four years under the ambitious scenario. These return projections are supported by comparable private sales data for similar-sized prints and further amplified by the discounted entry price versus current gallery rates.

Tiered Pricing Advantage
Yarrow applies a tiered pricing model where early prints in a limited edition are offered at significantly lower prices. As editions sell out, prices increase steadily. Our release, being one of the earliest prints from the 2025 series, allows investors to benefit from the full tiered appreciation model—maximizing upside potential as later editions command premium prices.
Exit Options at Maturity 🚪
We will manage the exit strategy on behalf of our investors, ensuring the best possible outcome based on market conditions at the time. Depending on the prevailing market situation, the painting will be sold to a private collector or offered as a single lot at an auction for contemporary art. An auction is considered if the price has developed to the point where the minimum bid matches the market value and there is high demand for works by the artist. Both options are carefully considered, and we will choose the one that maximizes the return for our investors.

Why Invest in This Asset? 💎
David Yarrow’s Stratton Oakmont is a vivid visual homage to one of the most excessive and morally ambiguous chapters in modern financial history. Drawing inspiration from both Oliver Stone’s Wall Street and Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, the work explores a surreal period when ambition, vice, and unchecked egos collided behind glass towers in Manhattan and the City of London. But this is no fictional portrayal—Yarrow speaks from lived experience, having started his career on a London equity trading floor in 1988. What he witnessed, and what this photograph encapsulates, was a time when dealing rooms resembled corporate playgrounds fueled by adrenaline, alcohol, and unchecked power.

This was an era where aesthetic charm was a corporate asset, where frat-house behavior was often rewarded with promotions, and where high-stakes finance blurred into social spectacle. Stratton Oakmont captures the spirit of a time when compliance was secondary, expense accounts were bottomless, and success was measured by sheer audacity. Its scale—nearly 3 meters wide—mirrors the overblown egos and excess it depicts, while its composition pulls viewers into a scene of chaos that is both seductive and unsettling.

A collaboration with Jordan Belfort himself, the work doesn’t glorify this legacy—it archives it. Yarrow offers collectors not just a photograph, but a cultural artefact: a bold, critical, and visually arresting portrait of capitalism at its most unfiltered. This print is not just an investment in art—it’s an investment in history.
Conclusion 🎯
David Yarrow’s Stratton Oakmont combines cultural relevance, financial upside, and historical narrative in one bold statement piece. With strong U.S. resale potential, early-tier pricing, and high collector demand, this work stands out as both an emotional and strategic investment—one rooted in storytelling, scarcity, and contemporary market traction.
