There's More Art in a Swiss Warehouse Than in the Louvre. Here's Why That Matters.
1.2 million works worth around $100 billion. All locked away by collectors with no intention of exhibiting them. More art sits in the Geneva Freeport than in the Louvre.
The reason? It's the world's largest tax-free vault. Works are traded inside without ever crossing a border or appearing in any public record.
When that much inventory is effectively off the table, anytime something does circulate, it’s a rare occasion.
Just a three hour drive away, the world’s premier international art fair is one of those occasions. Art Basel is this month and needless to say, things will move fast. Serious collectors will make their transactions before doors even open to the wider public.
Masterworks' acquisition committee — former specialists from Sotheby's and Christie's — operate in that window. Purchased artworks here can even become the offerings that Masterworks members fractionally invest in.
Their track record to-date?
$1.3B deployed across 530+ artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and Warhol
29 sales to date
Net annualized returns like 16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, not including those unsold*
Investing involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. See important Reg A disclosures at masterworks.com/cd.

☕ SATURDAY MORNING MATH PUZZLER SOLVED! ☕🧩
🧠☀️ Saturday Morning Math Puzzler — Teaching Solution!
The expression is:
81÷9(3+6)81 \div 9(3+6)81÷9(3+6)
Step 1: Solve what's inside the parentheses first.
3+6=93+6=93+6=9
Now the problem becomes:
81÷9(9)81 \div 9(9)81÷9(9)
or
81÷9×981 \div 9 \times 981÷9×9
Step 2: Apply the order of operations.
After parentheses, multiplication and division have equal priority. They are performed from left to right.
So:
81÷9=981 \div 9 = 981÷9=9
9×9=819 \times 9 = 819×9=81
✅ Final Answer:
81
📚 Why do some people get 1?
Many people incorrectly treat 9(9) as if it must stay together:
81÷(9×9)81 \div (9 \times 9)81÷(9×9)
which gives
81÷81=181 \div 81 = 181÷81=1
However, there are no parentheses around 9×99 \times 99×9. The expression is written as:
81÷9×981 \div 9 \times 981÷9×9
According to standard mathematical conventions (PEMDAS/BODMAS), division and multiplication are performed from left to right, making the correct answer:
✅ 81
💡 Math Tip
Remember:
✅ Parentheses first
✅ Exponents
✅ Multiplication and Division (left to right)
✅ Addition and Subtraction (left to right)
PEMDAS does not mean multiplication always comes before division—they are equals, and you simply work from left to right.
🎯 Correct Answer: 81
