#92 UK Investor Magazine interviews me at Woodbury House

With a looming recession ahead, people are looking for safe ways to store their money, as well as increase the value of their wealth. The art market is largely being seen as one of these secure havens.  Certainly that’s the viewpoint of UK Investor Magazine, who interviewed Steven this week in order to get the facts about this rapidly-growing assurance, as well as some of the best ways in which art investors can get started.     KEY TAKEAWAYS • The returns on even the lower end of Hambleton’s works now can be astronomical. Since his dealings began, entry level works have leapt in value from around £4k to £40k. • First time investors would do well to research and educate themselves. Look for the up and coming artists whose works are about to explode in value and interest. • The key to securing a rising star’s work is in asking three questions: ◦ Is the artist backed by a recognised gallery? ◦ Is the artist backed by a respected art dealer/family/collector? ◦ Is the artist backed by a recognised museum? • It’s not always about buying the piece of art itself. It’s also about buying the experience and the story. Banksy is the perfect example of someone who imbues his pieces with a story, which is why he has become so beloved.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Buying art is like buying a property’ ’If you’re ever going to buy art, try to buy into the people who created their genre' ‘It’s not just about the piece. It’s also about the story’ ‘Every pound saved is a pound made in a recession'   VALUABLE RESOURCES UK Investor Magazine YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxqTCZz74oJBrEoMOqBK3bw
