Art Investment Advisor / Equity Sales Associate

Masterworks is an early-stage Fintech platform for investing in blue-chip, multi-million dollar artworks. The company, which is currently based in New York City at 497 Broome Street, is rapidly scaling its operations. Masterworks currently has over 100,000 users signed-up on its platform and is growing at more than 11,000 per month. “Blue-chip” art (defined as the top 100 artists in terms of sales volume) has outperformed the S&P 500 by 180% since 2000. Prior to Masterworks, only extremely wealthy investors were able to invest in multi-million dollar paintings. Masterworks makes it possible for anyone to allocate capital to this exciting asset class.
