The Art Talk is delighted to welcome you all on another extraordinary Art Talk with Elizabeth von Habsburg, Founder and Managing Director of Winston Art Group, and Nanne Dekking Founder and CEO of Artory, who will guide us through the joint venture between their two companies: Artory/Winston. In September, Artory/Winston launched its first tokenized art fund on Securitize. Combining Artory’s industry-leading art registry technology with Winston Art Group’s deep market expertise, the Artory/Winston Art Fund is a diversified portfolio of approximately 65 investment-grade artworks from a range of artists and categories, allowing investors to access the potential advantages and returns of the fine art market.

Winston Art Group leads the sourcing and diligence on every artwork considered and purchased for the fund. Artory’s technology is used to capture the artworks’ due diligence data on the blockchain, providing investors with the confidence of investing in artworks with immutable records, verified provenance, and digital certification. Plus, investors on Securitize can trade their tokenized shares on a regulated secondary marketplace, which presents unique potential for investors to achieve liquidity and realize gains on a traditionally illiquid asset class.

To make this happen, Artory/Winston has selected established and trusted partners: independent appraisers, regulated trading marketplaces, and professional auditors. Unlike others in this market, the fund has a regulated and independently administered master fund, providing the quality infrastructure and market knowledge needed to create this robust, tokenized art fund.

In this talk, Elizabeth and Nanne will discuss the art investment landscape, the use blockchain in the art market, and their innovative collaboration.
