The contemporary art market is stronger than ever, as evidenced by November’s record-breaking auction prices covered extensively in the business, arts and general media, including Susan Chandler’s recent article in the Chicago Tribune. And while the art collection portfolios we create for our clients like LFC Capital and the MacArthur Foundation always perform exceptionally well as investments, we also see art’s role as much more than creating monetary wealth. For us art is a transformational process; it shows us new realities, and challenges us to examine how we think, feel and act in this incredibly complex world.
