Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to evaluating blue-chip art as a viable asset class for portfolio diversification. We present the Arte-Blue Chip Index, an index that tracks 100 top-performing artists based on 81,891 public transactions from 157 artists across 584 auction houses over the period 1990 to 2024. By comparing blue-chip art price trends with stock market fluctuations, our index provides insights into the risk and return profile of blue-chip art investments. Our analysis demonstrates that a 20% allocation of blue-chip art in a diversified portfolio enhances risk-adjusted returns by around 20%, while maintaining volatility levels similar to the S&P 500.
