Investing in works of art can be a great business, however, many pieces can be considered as a risk due to their price, originality, authenticity or their ephemeral or perishable materials.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 collectors who took some risks because of the pieces they added to their collections<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Anonymous (European Woman) Art Collector<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2021 a still unidentified \u201cEuropean Woman\u201d bough for $25,4 million USD of a previous version of \u201cGirl With Balloon\u201d by Banksy<\/a> which was destroyed once it was bought.<\/p>\n

After the controversial act, which occurred just after the auction ended and while it was still on display, the work completely changed its appearance and meaning \u2013 not to mention that it was actually \u201cdestroyed\u201d \u2013 in what is now known as Love Is In The Bin<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"2. Vignesh Sundaresan <\/strong><\/p>\n

In April 2021, entrepreneur and blockchain investor Vignesh Sundaresan bought the first NFT artwork, \u201cThe First 5000 Days<\/a>\u201d, for $69 million USD.<\/p>\n

Just last year NFT<\/a>s were still an art novelty, when the purchase of \u201cThe First 5000 Days\u201d became the first non-tangible artwork to be sold for an exorbitant sum as well. The curious thing about this fact is that the piece is not a physical object that can be exhibited as is commonly done with works of art, but rather belongs to the world of the digital. It will be interesting to know how this work can be exhibited and if it will increase in value over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Larry Gagosian (on cover)
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Art dealer and owner of one of the most important art galleries around the world, made the last and highest investment for an artwork from the 21st<\/sup> Century for $195 million: Shot Sage Blue Marilyn<\/em> by Andy Warhol<\/a><\/p>\n

When Tracey Emin\u2019s bed, Hirst\u2019s diamond skull, or Koons\u2019s balloons were thought to have fetched record numbers at auction, Larry Gagosian invested in a piece by a non-living artist from the last century, turning to Warhol\u2019s Marylin in the most expensive work belonging to the 20th century. It is still unknown if Gagosian bought it for himself or for some of his clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"4. Charles Saatchi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Art dealer Charles Saatchi bought what is still considered the artwork that open the door to the 21st<\/sup> Century: My Bed<\/em> by Tracey Emin<\/p>\n

Just into the new century, Saatchi acquired the piece for a sum that at that time was exorbitant: 188 thousand euros. It must be said that the piece is made up of perishable elements<\/a>, such as bottles of alcohol, cigarettes and even condoms. <\/span>However, in 2014, Saatchi auctioned off the piece for a much higher price (reflecting its increased value on the art market) and it was purchased by German collector Christian Duerckheim.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. Sarah Andelman<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designer Sarah Andelman bought the first version of the controversial \u201cbanana\u201d, Comedian<\/em><\/a>, created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan.<\/p>\n

It is not necessary to mention that it is one of the most criticized, questioned and perishable pieces of recent times. What will happen when the banana enters a state of decomposition? In addition to being a piece with complex materiality in terms of conservation, Andelman\u2019s piece is a first version. The second was bought by collectors Billy and Beatrice Cox.<\/span><\/p>\n
