Description
Valuation Summary 📝
To ensure the competitiveness of the investment, we conducted a thorough verification of the purchase price by analyzing recent gallery transactions and current auction results. Our analysis confirmed that the price offered, inclusive of all associated fees, is still highly competitive. To estimate the potential ROI, we used the average auction results of same-sized paintings by Raghav Babbar and compared them to the purchase price. 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 calculated the average growth of the painting taking into account the average auction results, and then discounted it to 40% to account for the risk of not replicating past auction results. Finally, in the ambitious scenario, we applied 100% of the average auction results for same-sized paintings over the last two years compared to our purchase price, reflecting an optimistic outlook that assumes the painting will continue to appreciate in line with its historical trend.
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 Category? 🎨
For centuries, art has been collected for its cultural, emotional, intellectual, political, and economic value. Investing in emerging artists 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? 💎
Raghav Babbar's artistic journey, from his roots in Rohtak to his studies in Singapore and London, reflects his deep talent and evolving style. His unique ability to capture the essence of his subjects presents a compelling investment opportunity in contemporary art. One of his notable works comes from his time in Singapore, where he captured images of people he encountered on his runs through various neighborhoods. This painting, depicting a couple in a food hall, represents Babbar's style and narrative approach. His consistent track record of exceeding auction expectations makes his work a strong investment. For example, his painting "The Coal Seller," initially estimated at EUR 22,543, sold for EUR 541,033 at Sotheby's, reflecting his increasing market value.
Context in Time ⏳
Emerging artists often sell their works at more affordable prices compared to established names. If the artist gains recognition over time, the value of their art can increase significantly, offering substantial returns on your investment.
