Venture capital, applied to contemporary art
At the heart of the Kastel model is a community bringing together art enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, investors, and collectors. Together, they finance the living contemporary artists of our portfolio, steward their trajectory with the same intensity a VC stewards its founders, and contribute to the collective valuation of each artist.
Investing in art carries risks of capital loss, illiquidity, and market risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Rigorous selection
Four artists per year selected out of one hundred. Market valuation, institutional path, gallery traction, studio quality: ten criteria, twelve to eighteen months of visits before signing.
Studio prices
Direct acquisition from each partner artist, at studio price (the standard gallery markup, ~50%, returns to the member). You enter before the market prices in the trajectory.
An active community
PR, museum placements, brand collaborations, studio dinners, private venues of the market. Each member opens doors for the portfolio's artists.
