Team up with Artory / Winston
Artwork investment requires ongoing diligence, trusted market expertise, and proactive management: services not available to the typical investor.
Due Diligence Secured on the Blockchain
Artory is one of the first in the world to aggregate artwork provenance and due diligence in a single digital token, recorded securely on the blockchain.
Artory's unique tokens represent certified digital deeds of ownership for each artwork. This technology makes physical collectibles actionable—to be treated as a digital asset and unlock potential liquidity.
Due diligence is conducted by the experts at Winston Art Group, who have appraised over 150,000 items in every collecting category, and over $10 billion in appraisal value annually. With independent valuations in addition to Winston's expertise, we build investors’ confidence in art as an asset class.
Demystifying the Art Market
When you invest with Artory/Winston, your decisions are informed by our expertise, data, and the latest trends in the art market. You receive detailed Investor Reports that explain the due diligence done and your investment over time. We are making it our mission to instill confidence in the new wave of art investors—whether this is sending you information, walking you through an art auction, or providing you with a preview in a gallery or art fair.
With access to the data, expertise, and regular market updates, Artory/Winston gives you clarity and confidence throughout the lifecycle of every offering.
Expertise and Data Inform Our Artwork Sourcing
With unrivaled analyses from independent experts and Artory’s best-in-class, artwork-centric transactional database, Artory/Winston works to increase efficiency and inclusivity in a market that has historically been challenging to navigate for investors.
Artory’s ever-growing database contains data on more than 36 million artworks and collectibles. The database is the gold standard for art market analysis—supplying data for Artory art indices, market reports, and analyses for this developing market. Insights are based on more than just historical sales data of the small fraction of artworks that are traded. Market experts create risk profiles for artists using buy-in ratios and other proprietary knowledge.
Artory's database together with Winston Art Group’s trove of market data improves Artory/Winston’s sourcing of artworks.
Risk Mitigation is Our Goal.
Artory/Winston’s first diversified and tokenized artwork fund is backed by a team of experts selecting a carefully curated group of artworks across different collecting categories, career stages, and price points with the aim of reducing risk and delivering significant potential for high returns.
A major differentiator of our offerings is the exceptional domain expertise of Winston Art Group and the accessibility of this expertise made possible by Artory’s technology. Prior to purchasing an artwork for the fund, the specialist team at Winston Art Group, which appraises an average of $10 billion worth of art annually, inspects the artwork, values it, reports condition, and follows a rigorous certification process.
Because each artwork is secured and tokenized with Artory’s technology, you’ll receive new information on your investment throughout the offering’s lifecycle, including annual artwork valuations, condition reports, or insurance updates. We share this information with investors to give confidence in the quality of the artworks in the offering’s portfolio.
Shares or Tokens
When investing in an Artory/Winston offering, investors can choose traditional shares or Security Tokens. With both, investors receive access to unbiased data on the art market and their investments. Security Tokens can be traded on regulated secondary markets, offering greater liquidity.
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, we choose to have a regulated and independently administered master fund.
All to give you trust in your investment.
The Artory / Winston Process
Specialists at Winston Art Group select investment-grade artworks based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, freshness to the market, Artory’s database of market data, price, condition, and provenance.
Winston Art Group conducts due diligence on each artwork, based on a proven methodology of over 50 factors. This wealth of information contributes to the potential resale value of each artwork and is captured in Artory’s proprietary Due Diligence Tool.
Artory’s Due Diligence Tool generates a unique Artwork Token securely stored on the blockchain to capture all key data, with an appendable Smart Contract that captures events over time.
The Artwork Tokens represent certified digital deeds of ownership for the artwork. New information can easily be added to the Smart Contract to keep the Artwork Token current, including annual valuations, condition reports, or insurance updates. Only investors receive exclusive access to these data and regular market, investment, and diligence updates.
Artory/Winston taps into Artory’s data, plus years of experience and an exclusive network to identify the market opportunities to sell. Proceeds are distributed to investors based on the number of shares or tokens they own.
