Of the approximately 1,900 paintings by Monet in existence, there are currently less than 800 paintings owned privately worldwide that could ever come up for sale. The balance will be held in perpetuity in museum collections.

Over time, many of the 800 works held privately will inevitably make their way into museum collections, further limiting supply.

As you may know, China has the second biggest market for art behind the United States. 47% of the global demand for art is the U.S. while China is at 24% and growing. In China alone there are around 1,000 new museums planned, and each will be vying for trophy artworks by Western blue-chip artists, such as Monet.

The demand for great masterworks by Monet and Picasso in particular is very high, and we feel that this trend shows no sign of abating. Our wealthiest international clients, particularly those in countries where there is political and financial instability and unpredictability, use top-level art, like Monet, as a way to have tangible, portable assets.
