Buffett vs Banksy: The surprising winner

What’s one market that Warren Buffet probably hasn’t considered – even though its prices outpaced shares of his very own Berkshire Hathaway – growing at an annualized rate of 14.4% from 2007 to June 2023? The market for Banksy’s art. 

That's right, Banksy. And now, for the first time, everyday investors are getting in on the action. Thanks to Masterworks, the award-winning platform for investing in blue-chip art. Masterworks enables anyone to invest in paintings by artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso for just a fraction of the cost. When Masterworks sells a painting, investors can get a return. 

All of their offerings are limited, and shares can sell out in just minutes, but readers can skip the waitlist to join with this exclusive link. 

Past performance is not indicative of future returns, investing involves risk. See disclosures masterworks.com/cd.
