Description
To ensure the competitiveness of the investment, we conducted a thorough verification of the purchase price by analyzing recent gallery transactions. Our analysis confirmed that the price offered, inclusive of all associated fees, is highly competitive. To estimate the potential ROI, we used the annualised price increase of his paintings over the past two years. For our conservative scenario, we assumed the value of the painting would grow at the rate of Swiss inflation, reflecting a defensive approach. In the balanced scenario, we factored in a 60% probability of realising a 52.9% (CAGR past 2 years) annualised return for the period. Finally, in the ambitious scenario, we factored in a 100% probability of realising a 52.9% (CAGR past 2 years) annualised return for the period.
Exit Options at Maturity 🚪
We will manage the exit strategy in collaboration with our expert M&A Arts on behalf of our investors, ensuring the best possible outcome based on market conditions at the time. Depending on the prevailing market situation, the paintings will be sold to a private collector or offered as single lots 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.

Description about this asset 🖼️
Gregory de la Haba is an American interdisciplinary artist, writer, curator, and cultural producer. A skilled painter with a pedagogical lineage that stretches back to Jacques-Louis David, he is an exemplary practitioner of fine art whose conceptual practice resists categorization. De la Haba’s work explores themes of addiction, contemporary notions of masculinity, and Duende, a heightened state of emotion, expression, and authenticity derived from pure artistic expression. It is from this place that the artist unlocks his true self—both in art and in life.
Since 2008, de la Haba has produced art-related ventures through his creative platform Bodega de la Haba. Notable projects include hosting literary events with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Franz Wright, curating a survey of significant works by the celebrated artist Judy Rifka at Pulpo Gallery in Murnau am Staffelsee in Germany, and producing and narrating Terrence Browne’s Irish art history musical “Hazel - Made In Belfast” which premiered at Carnegie Hall.
A cum laude graduate of Harvard University, de la Haba has written on a number of artists including Billy the Artist, Richie Culver, Marcus Jansen, Cristina BanBan, Oscar Murillo, Al Diaz, California Locos (Dave Tourjé, Chaz Bojórquez, John Van Hamersveld, Norton Wisdom and Gary Wong), Miya Ando, Andy Moses, Timothy Warren Williams, Lance De Los Reyes, Mel Bochner and many others. De la Haba's writings and artworks have been featured in many publications including The New York Times, Southampton Review, Rizzoli’s Irish America, New York Arts Magazine, and Portray.
At the beginning of October, de la Haba won the First Prize at the Durres International Biennale in Albania.
