Art & Asset Management: Exploring the Intersection of Art, Finance, and Data Science

Overstone, led by Harco van den Oever, is pioneering the transformation of art into a structured asset class using data science and financial tools. The company addresses the opacity in the art market by combining advanced algorithms with expert insights to assess the liquidity and value of art as collateral. Overstone's innovative approach has attracted institutional clients, such as private banks and insurers, enabling art to be leveraged with confidence and reduced risk. As the market grows, new financial tools like art-backed bonds and credit default swaps are set to expand art’s role as a financial asset. Van den Oever predicts that art leveraged as collateral could rise from 3% to 10% or more. By integrating data analytics with traditional valuation methods, Overstone is bridging the gap between art and finance, reshaping the art market, and supporting the development of a more sophisticated financial ecosystem.

How I Acquired A Dedicated Banksy Print: A Story

In the early 2000s, AMBA, a teenage graffiti artist, fell victim to an elaborate prank by Banksy, who labelled walls as "designated graffiti areas," causing AMBA significant stress during his ongoing court case for criminal damage. Years later, as Banksy's fame grew, AMBA's story was featured in Banksy's books, and in 2023, AMBA was gifted a signed Banksy print, symbolising an apology for the past stress. While the print was a valuable acknowledgement, it brought its own anxieties and practical challenges, leading AMBA to consider selling it despite the taboo against selling gifts.
