Starting at 2pm ET on Thursday, 7 May, Scott and the Masterworks team will be here to answer your questions regarding the investment platform and the company/strategy as a whole. Feel free to post your questions here ahead of time and we will keep them busy for their time with us.
Scott is kicking us off with the message below. Please be respectful and if you have any specific account questions, contact help@masterworks.com. The Masterworks team will be unable to address support-related issues via Reddit.
>I'm Scott Lynn, founder and CEO of Masterworks. As we approach New York’s spring auctions, AMA about what we’re seeing in the art market and on the platform this year.
>I started Masterworks in 2017 to make art investable. Now, over 70,000 investors have deployed nearly $1.3 billion across over 500 works on the platform.
>In our most recent investor letter, you'll find that 1Q26 was the strongest quarter for our Postwar and Contemporary Art Index since the market peaked in 2021.
>You’ll also notice we’ve been making updates to the platform, hosting in-person events for investors, lending art to institutions around the world, and posting new exits.
>So, I’m here to answer all your questions about Masterworks, the art market, and art’s positioning as an asset class.
>I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
