What makes Blue-Chip
art a popular investment

What makes Blue-Chip art a popular investment

Market Growth Statistics

Contemporary art has surged 2,200% since 2000, outperforming traditional markets. Even with recent fluctuations, it remains 18% larger than pre-pandemic levels, demonstrating long-term resilience.

Blue-Chip Art Performance

Blue-chip art has delivered annualized returns of 12-14% over the past 25 years, consistently outperforming the S&P 500 and gold. High-end sales ($1M+) have grown 24.1% in just four years.

Portfolio Diversification

Fine art has a low correlation with major financial indices, making it a strong portfolio diversifier. With correlation factors of just 0.40 to the S&P 500 and 0.43 to MSCI World, it moves independently from traditional markets, reducing overall investment risk.

Inflation Protection

Art has historically outpaced inflation—between 2021 and 2023, prices surged 22%, beating real estate and commodities. Its tangible nature makes it a resilient hedge against economic downturns.

“I’ve worked with Crusoe Contemporary for about 18 months now, and every painting has been an easy purchase”
Graham Hogg
“I’ve worked with Crusoe Contemporary for about 18 months now, and every painting has been an easy purchase.

They just get what I want. Unlike other galleries where it’s ‘take it or leave it,’ Crusoe is flexible, knowledgeable, and has a different approach. I’ve had commissions before where you never even meet the artist, but with Crusoe, you’re part of the process—you get proofs, you give feedback, and the final piece is exactly what you wanted. I can call them with an idea and within hours or days, they’ve found exactly what I’m looking for. Nine times out of ten, you don’t even know a piece is available—but Crusoe will go and find it.

Just do it. Just work with them.”
