Arte Collectum

Arte Collectum is a Sweden-based private investment firm specializing in acquiring and actively managing artworks by women and marginalized artists. The firm aims to address historical undervaluation by investing in works from these groups and lending them to major exhibitions and museums worldwide, thereby enhancing their market value and visibility.

The firm's investment strategy involves raising capital to purchase artworks, with the first fund closing in early November 2022, exceeding €20 million. Arte Collectum II AB (publ), launched in autumn 2024, continues this approach, targeting investors in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. The firm operates with a six-year investment term, targeting a 100% return, or 12% per year net after fees.

By focusing on underrepresented artists, Arte Collectum contributes to a more equitable art market and minimizes the gender and ethnicity price gap. The firm actively manages its portfolio by lending artworks to leading museums and exhibitions worldwide, promoting the artists and accelerating their careers and price levels. This strategy aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those addressing gender equality and reduced inequalities.
