Very unique and interesting way to allow the layperson to invest in art work. Their fees are high - 1.5% annual and they keep 20% of the profits when the art sells. It is also difficult to find out... See more

Easy to understand, great onboarding and understanding. Purchase process wasn’t 100% as I didn’t get direct feedback on how to include a confirmation code. I still don’t know even though I did get... See more

I've been invested in Masterworks for nearly a year and though nothing in my portfolio has sold yet, it has been great to see/learn about the artworks offered. One sour note: I tried to redeem points... See more

I had issues with sending money

I had issues with actually sending money to the company for the investment. Initially it seemed that the company wanted to get full access to my bank account and information, which i found very concerning. When I raised a question, I was told to use the routing number to transfer from my checking account, but after several attempts, with people from the company assisting, it was apparent this was not going to work.

Eventually i ended up wiring the funds, but never received a confirmation that the funds were received, in spite of requests, and the on line account information seemed to indicate that the amount was still outstanding. Since i am getting this survey, i assume it has been received, but i would have appreciated receiving an email confirming receipt, in response to my request.

Helpful and pleasant Onboarding

Flexible, willing to help, and offered me something palatable to my artistic AND investing taste. Also Ivan was easy to work with and very courteous. Very pleasant onboarding.

General average experience

General average experience in comparison to other investment platforms. The interface is confusing and clunky. Painting I've invested in are missing and limited information is presented unless you dig deeper into the fine print. Limited transparency on the process, and onboarding experience was exceptionally pushy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience with MaterWorks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience with Mater Works and Kevin Cox!

I recently had the pleasure of working with MaterWorks, and I’m thoroughly impressed—so much so that I feel compelled to share my experience here. From start to finish, their team demonstrated genuine professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise.

From my first inquiry, the onboarding process was smooth and clearly explained. What really stood out was my interaction with Kevin Cox, who served as my financial advisor during the engagement. Kevin’s guidance was exceptional—he took the time to understand my needs, walked me through every step, patiently answered questions, and made me feel confident in all decisions. His background at Masterworks Advisers and his history with firms like

Throughout my experience, the communication was clear and friendly. Whether via email or phone, I always received timely responses and felt heard. Scheduling and deadlines were handled professionally, and the entire process—from quoting to delivery—was seamless.

What impressed me most about MaterWorks is their unwavering focus on quality and customer satisfaction. They went above and beyond, paying attention to every detail in the project. Their team was courteous and respectful, delivering results that exceeded expectations.

Great Team, Very Trustworthy Platform

Great team, appreciated the double & triple checking through the calls for security. They use Plaid for a secure connection to the bank. They worked with my teeny tiny budget as well.

10/10 on this platform; they have great people on the team. Textbook salesmanship and quality follow-up as well.

Sarah was great, Layla Kranz NOT.

Sarah was very helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. I really liked her.

Layla Kranz, however, was the stereotypical New Yorker. She constantly talked over me, did not listen to me, and was just plain rude. I hope to NEVER have contact with her again. If she would have been my initial contact, I would NOT have signed up.
