Description
Valuation Summary 📝
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 annualized return of his works over the past five years. For our conservative scenario, we assumed the value of the sculpture would grow at the rate of Swiss inflation, reflecting a defensive approach. In the balanced scenario, we assume a 27.5% probability of realizing a 33.4% (CAGR of the past 5 years) annual return for the next 4 years. Finally, in the ambitious scenario, we assume a 50% probability of realizing a 33.4% (CAGR of the past 5 years) annual return for the next 4 years. These potential returns over the next four years, under both the balanced and ambitious scenarios, are further enhanced by the 49% discount at which this beautiful work is offered compared to the current gallery price for same-sized edition of 24 works.
Exit Options at Maturity 🏠
We will manage the exit strategy in collaboration with our expert Opera Gallery on behalf of our investors, ensuring the best possible outcome based on market conditions at the time. Depending on the prevailing market situation, the sculpture 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.

Why Invest in This Asset? 💎
Anthony James is a trailblazing contemporary artist, renowned for his immersive, futuristic sculptures that push the boundaries of light, space, and perception. His signature Dodecahedron series, inspired by Platonic solids and sacred geometry, is a fusion of stainless steel, LED lights, and double-sided glass, creating a mesmerizing infinite light tunnel effect.

Works of similar size have demonstrated exceptional appreciation, with auction results far surpassing gallery prices. One recent auction sale reached £80,835, confirming the strong secondary market demand.
James’s artistic appeal extends beyond the traditional art market.
