Blue-Chip Contemporary ArtSEC Registered
Masterworks
The largest fractional art platform by capital raised ($1.12B across 290 individual offerings plus 5 Vault portfolios) — SEC-qualified, $500 minimum, 29 EDGAR-verified exits at a 21.6% average IRR — but artwork is carried at historical cost with no fair value marks, the administrator's cash position tightened sharply in FY2025, the auditor's PCAOB registration status is unconfirmed, and the Vault pivot signals the individual-offering model may be winding down.
