We believe that art is the eternal heritage of humanity.
By redefining access to art to place it at the heart of the 21st century, Matis fulfills a mission of preserving and enhancing a global and priceless heritage.
Art, a deep and dynamic market
Art has existed since the beginning of civilization and has been exchanged for centuries, representing a significant part of individuals' heritage. Since the 1960s, with the advent of the major auction houses and the increased accessibility of public auction results in the 1990s, it has been possible to measure precisely the volume, value and performance of transactions -making art a full-fledged asset class.

Why invest
in art ?
Benefit from an appreciation of the invested capital.
Diversify your portfolio by investing in an asset uncorrelated with financial markets.
Hedge against inflation
01. Benefit from an appreciation of the invested capital.
Drawing on data from public transactions, Artprice has developed the Artprice100© index, which tracks the annual performances of the top 100 artists in terms of auction sales.
Since the 2000s, the Artprice 100 index has outperformed that of the S&P 500, with an appreciation four times higher.
02. Diversify your portfolio by investing in an asset uncorrelated with financial markets.
In contrast, the prices of contemporary art have historically demonstrated a low correlation with other asset classes during periods of financial stress. Investing in art thus allows for portfolio diversification to protect against market volatility.
03. Hedge against inflation
Therefore, in 2022, over 50% of family offices consider art as a means to protect the portfolios of their investor clients against inflation. This number was only 18% in 2021.
