Investing in fine art is not a new concept, although this channel has been monopolized by only the wealthiest individuals, collectors, and galleries. A few works of art have recently traded above €100 million providing the sellers and auction houses with very substantial gains.

For millions who want to join the world of fine art investment, taking part in auctions is an unrealistic ambition. However, this could potentially no longer be the case – all thanks to blockchain technology.

For so many, the art investment market remains a closed shop. We want to change that at Maecenas by opening it up to investors with blockchain technology.
