Benefits of APT
APT allows artists to effectively participate in the
long-term value appreciation of their artworks and the works of the peers in
their trust, while storage, transportation, and insurance costs are covered by
APT. Through the APT Institute, APT also lends artworks in the APT Collection
to leading museums, galleries and other art venues, maximizing exposure and
increasing the reputation of APT and its individual artists.
Drawing upon the concept of mutual assurance
societies, each participating artist benefits financially from the commercial
success of all the other artists in the trust. APT provides artists with a
unique mechanism for risk diversification which pays to the artists 72% of the
net proceeds from artworks sold by the trust, a figure unmatched by any other
organization in the art world.
APT’s
experienced curators have proven to be quite successful in identifying the most
promising of contemporary artists. However, the art world is very fickle.
Today’s stars may not be as successful in the future. APT leverages
the successes of today’s artists with those of tomorrow. Joining APT provides
even the most celebrated artists of today with the chance for future financial
security over time. In addition, the benefits of international exposure improve
the reputation and careers of even the most successful of local artists
extending their visibility across national borders.
