Collective Art Ownership

A Private Alternative to Buying Art Alone

1- What is Collective Art Ownership

Collective Art Ownership is a private arrangement in which multiple participants jointly acquire an artwork through a defined legal structure, sharing ownership rights, costs.

Unlike public funds or speculative platforms, this is not a mass-market investment product.
Each acquisition is: 

  • Individually selected

  • Legally structured

  • Fully disclosed to participants

Ownership is documented, governed, and transparent from day one
 

Why Collective Art Ownership?

Buying Alone Has Limits:

  • Capital concentration in a single asset

  • Storage, insurance, and exit complexity

  • Reduced access to higher-tier works

Collective Ownership Solves This:

  • Access to stronger artworks with shared capital

  • Professional oversight and due diligence

  • Pre-defined governance and exit pathways

This model has long been used privately by families, estates, and discreet collector circles
 

2- How does it works?

1. Curated Opportunity

FAE.LLC identifies a specific artwork that meets strict criteria:

  • Artist market maturity or historical relevance

  • Verifiable provenance

  • Strategic resale or legacy potential

No blind pools. No generic baskets.
 

2. Private Offering to a Limited Group

Interested participants receive:

  • Artwork dossier (images, condition, provenance)

  • Ownership structure summary

  • Risk and liquidity disclosures

Participation is by invitation or approved request only.
 

3. Legal Structure & Ownership

Ownership is held through a dedicated legal entity or contractual framework, which defines:

  • Percentage ownership

  • Voting rights

  • Holding period guidelines

  • Exit mechanisms

Each participant’s interest is documented.
 

4. Storage, Insurance & Oversight

  • Museum-grade storage (temperature & security controlled)

  • Insurance coverage appropriate to valuation

  • Periodic reporting to owners

FAE.LLC acts strictly as advisor and coordinator, not a custodian bank or broker-dealer.
 

5. Exit or Continuation

Depending on the agreed structure:

  • Private resale

  • Auction placement

  • Internal buy-out between owners

  • Continued holding

No sale can occur without adherence to the governing agreement.

  • Artistic significance

  • Market credibility

  • Long-term relevance

4- Governance and transparency

​Each collective ownership arrangement includes:

  • Written ownership or operating agreement

  • Defined decision-making procedures

  • Clear expense allocation

  • Exit and dispute resolution clauses
     

Participants retain visibility into:

  • What is owned

Transparency is foundational—not optional.
