Description
Valuation Summary đ
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 paintings over the past four 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 assume a 60% probability of realizing a 44.6% (CAGR of the past 4 years) annual return for the next 4 years. Finally, in the ambitious scenario, we assume a 100% probability of realizing a 44.6% (CAGR of the past 4 years) annual return for the next 4 years.
Exit Options at Maturity đȘ
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 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 Category? đš
For centuries, art was collected for its cultural, emotional, intellectual, political, and economic value. Investing in an emerging artist offers a mix of financial potential and personal satisfaction, making it an appealing option for both new and seasoned collectors.
Why Invest in This Asset? đ
Britt Boutros-Ghali is one of Egyptâs most celebrated contemporary artists and a world-class talent, following the tradition of abstract expressionist giants such as Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, and Franz Kline. Britt was born in 1937 in Svolvaer, in the Northern part of Norway, where the saturation of light in the summer was juxtaposed by the lack thereof in winter. She endured the harsh weather and daunting pressure of the Second World War. This emotional backdrop provided a fertile landscape for her bursting, colorful, and emotional work.
Britt has spent the last five decades living and working in Egypt, where she is an integral part of the country's artistic community. Today, Britt divides her time between Cairo and Agami, maintaining studios in both locations. Her residence and studio in Agami, situated west of Alexandria along Egypt's northern coast, reflect her deep affection for the region. The artist compound is a living piece of art, infused with intricately crafted mosaics and murals. Local artists, collectors, and individuals with a penchant for the unique frequently gather at her home, while art enthusiasts from around the world make the journey to meet her and acquire her work.
In 1996, she received the prestigious St. Olav's Order, Norway's highest artistic honor, from King Haakon for her cultural and artistic contributions. Yet, it is perhaps her 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in the Arts from the Egyptian government that resonates most deeply. A testament to her indelible impact on the artistic landscape of her adopted homeland, it serves as a fitting tribute to a lifetime devoted to creativity and expression. Brittâs work has garnered international acclaim. Since her debut exhibition in Paris in 1962, it has been exhibited worldwide, and her paintings are held in numerous private and public collections.
Selected Public Collections:
Brittâs art, characterized by vibrant colors, abstract forms, and large-scale energetic paintings, draws inspiration from Egypt's rich and exotic culture. Employing "action painting," her work embodies a sense of spontaneity and creativity. The physicality of Britt's work is evident through her seasoned and competent use of materials â the subject and outcome are determined through methodical structure, yet spontaneous in the outcome, hence allowing for the nature of the materials and her use of them to unfold and tell their mysteries.
âI always start by putting all my colors around me. Then I just let things happen. I really donât have any idea of what Iâm going to do. Everything to start feels a little chaotic and then I slowly make order from the chaos and give it structure. Sometimes Iâm not even aware of what Iâm doing.â â Britt Boutros-Ghali
