Bid & Hammer’s research models show that the best Indian art has a five-fold upside potential vis-à-vis international art prices. So far, only the top 10% of the Indian artists have been discovered and valued. The discovery process of Indian artists is ongoing. Also the potential of decorative arts has not been fully unearthed.

Some of the other factors which are going to fuel interest in Indian art are:
   i) the high wealth accretion in India and Asia,
   ii) the fact that India has the second highest growth of GDP in the world and
   iii) the increasing global interest in Indian culture
Hence, the Indian art market has a higher upside potential and is favourably placed upon the art cycle.

Thus art investment is an attractive asset class for portfolio diversification. In addition, the art markets have lower volatility and correlation with other assets classes.
