TRAFALGAR SQ
Art as an Investment? A Survey
of Comparative Assets
by Melanie Gerlis. 192pp, Lund
Humphries hbk, £30
A widely researched and clearly
written analysis by the Art
Market Editor of
The Art
Newspaper.
Melanie Gerlis
examines art as an investment
class in comparison to other
assets such as public equities
(stocks and shares), gold, wine,
property, private equity and
luxury goods. Not least of the
difficulties in assessing whether
art is a good investment (in the
purely financial sense) is the
general paucity of hard
information. Only around half of
the market’s transactions –
through an estimated 23,000
auction houses – are a matter
of public record; those of some
third of a million art dealers are
not. So, what does the author
conclude? A hint lies in the book
title’s question mark . . .
