The 2025 edition of the biennial Deloitte Private and ArtTactic Art & Finance Report arrives amid market stagnation, shifting collector values, and an unprecedented global wealth transfer, with an estimated $992 billion in art and collectibles expected to change hands over the next decade. As the art and finance ecosystem adapts to demands for transparency, inclusivity, and purpose, innovation and strategic engagement are more critical than ever.
Since 2011, the report has tracked the integration of art into wealth management. Over the last 14 years, what began as a question of relevance has become a matter of execution: in 2011, only a quarter of wealth managers offered art-related services; today, 51% do, reflecting a gradual shift in perception and practice.
This edition draws on insights from 57 experts and nearly 500 survey responses, featuring stakeholders across the art and finance industry, including private banks, family offices, collectors, and art professionals. It features 30 articles from leading industry professionals, including contributions from eight Deloitte offices across the world. It explores how next-generation collectors are reshaping the art market by prioritizing cultural impact and legacy over financial returns, the rise of mid-market artworks and luxury collectibles in wealth strategies, and the role of AI and blockchain in solving long-standing valuation and provenance challenges.
There are three strategic approaches emerging: full integration of art-related services, opting out due to misalignment or lack of a clear business case, and hybrid models—often among family offices—built on partnerships with external industry professionals. Though still niche, art and finance now hold a recognized place within holistic wealth management strategies.
Incorporating art and collectibles into wealth management strengthens client relationships, especially with the next generation of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), delivering financial and emotional benefits and fostering a more human-centered approach.
We hope this edition inspires new thinking and collaboration across the art, culture, and finance communities.
