The artistic Fund Maecene Arts
We are collectors! As such engaged in the circulation, conservation and enhancement of works of Art. Our favorite sectors include curating exhibitions, communication, writing catalogs, sponsorship, partnerships, the art market. We support the creation and originality of artistic approaches, promising talents, without taking into account the effects of fashion or dominant thought.
The artists that we recommend to you, for a possible placement, are those whose works we have already bought for a long time. Each of our acquisitions is first the result of a crush and then that of an informed investment. Beyond the pleasure that these works provide, our qualities of experts and our professional experience are the guarantee of carefully daring choices. We will know how to support you and advise you on immediate values while investing in highly promising potentials.
In recent years we have built up in Maecene Arts a private collection of works whose value has been enriched, multiple museum pieces, today it is a collection of works. Many of our collectors are helping by providing us with major pieces that they have purchased. An exhibition of some works from the MA Fund stamped “investment” was presented in 2018 in Bordeaux on the occasion of the Andre Laban retrospective.
