Art leasing
Fine art has been capturing the attention of art collectors and aficionados for decades, with strongly contested art auctions demonstrating the market’s enthusiasm for quality artworks. Companies and individuals are now using statement art pieces as decorative accents to brighten up interior spaces such as hotels, workspaces and private residences.
Although the surge in demand for art has driven up prices, art leasing offers companies and individuals a flexible and cost-effective alternative to gain access to amazing works of art that previously may not have been within reach.
Who Leases Art?
Art leasing has become an increasingly compelling and affordable approach to creating a stylistic ambience in homes and offices. By paying only a fraction of the purchase price, individuals and corporations can visually upgrade their spaces with inspirational works of art that reflect their style or character. Here are some types of clients we work with:
Corporate Offices
Organisations such as MNCs, law firms, prestigious financial institutions and SMEs are using leased art to rejuvenate their workspaces so as to create a welcoming environment for visitors. Leased works of art can energise the atmosphere in the working environment, helping to reinforce the organisation’s identity, as well as fuel creativity and drive greater productivity amongst employees.
Private Residences
Individuals are progressively using art leasing to improve the aesthetic value of their living space and to be part of a global market previously out of reach.
Art leasing has given individuals the opportunity to bring the art gallery to their own homes by allowing them to enjoy and appreciate original works of art in an intimate setting. This is an excellent option for individuals who are still developing their own tastes and exploring whether to build their own collection. Art leasing enables individuals to inject personality into their homes.
