Artemundi (noun, neologism) [ar-te-MUN-di]
Definition: A coined term derived from Latin roots ars(art) and mundus(world), meaning “art of the world” or “world art.” Often used to signify global, timeless, or universally relevant art and culture. May also imply the pursuit, study or preservation of artistic heritage across civilizations.

Artemundi, we believe great art is more than necessary—it’s timeless. And time is the only thing we don’t truly own. A historical masterpiece holds cultural meaning, emotional depth, and real, lasting value. That’s why we treat art not only as a cultural treasure, to be shown and appreciated, but also as a smart, tangible investment to be shared.

The significance of art, does not negate its significant value and viceversa. 

– Andy Warhol

We started Artemundi in 1989 with a simple but bold idea: we avoided the traditional brick and mortar business believing that people should be able to own important artworks without paying excessive fees or navigating an opaque system. Since then, we’ve helped clients around the world build meaningful collections with clarity and confidence.

We focus on artworks that have stood the test of time—Impressionist, Modern, Post-War, and late 20th-century pieces by artists whose market value is well-established. We don’t invest in speculative or emerging art. Our strategy is rooted in knowledge, not trends.

Over the years, we’ve managed over a billion dollars in art and completed thousands of transactions. We also pioneered the use of technology to make art investment more accessible. But what we’re most proud of is the reputation we’ve built—for honesty, duty, transparency, and results.

Our track record

1989-2009
In the old days, we operated in a traditional manner—running a gallery, participating in art fairs, and relying on trust, relationships, and handshake agreements. While this period did not generate a formal track record, it built invaluable experience and was instrumental in shaping the disciplined, strategic approach that underpins Artemundi’s investment philosophy today.
