The art market is one of the most powerful stores of value in the world, yet it is traditionally illiquid. Transforming a blue-chip painting into cash usually involves consigning it to an auction house. This process is public, slow (often taking months to align with auction seasons), and expensive, with seller’s premiums and fees eating into your equity.
Moreover, selling art “burns” the piece—market participants know it has been sold, which can affect its future provenance and value.
Borro offers a discreet alternative: Art Financing. We lend against blue-chip works from artists like Warhol, Basquiat, Picasso, and contemporary masters. Our team, supported by external appraisers from major auction houses, can value your work and fund a loan rapidly.
The art remains your property. It is transported via specialized logistics partners and stored in climate-controlled, high-security freeports. You receive the capital you need for other ventures, and when the loan is repaid, the artwork returns to your wall. It is the sophisticated way to monetize a collection without the finality of a sale.
