Art Lending to Fund Your Next Passion



Your art collection—which may have taken years or even decades to acquire—is a justifiable source of pride and enjoyment for you and those fortunate enough to experience it. It is likely that certain works may have also appreciated to the point where they have become valuable. Should you consider these assets as an opportunistic source of liquidity? A fine art loan secured by your collection, which remains safely in your possession, can provide liquidity to meet your business and personal needs. Art loans can also help preserve your long-term investment strategy.

Loans against artwork

To secure fine art financing, each piece of art must be museum quality and must have a secondary market presence through auction houses and known dealers. The works of art need to have been created by a well-known, reputable and established artist. For more information, speak with one of our art lending specialists.
