Investment
3 Flexible Options
​
a) I want you to own YOUR Museum. Using your Real Estate you will retain ownership of all artwork and Brand/Naming rights. On a consultation basis, we will provide all necessary help in Real Estate, Branding, Art selection and all legalese.*
b) Naming rights only. You decide on your level of commitment - from a small, curated selection of artwork to an entire gallery in your name, for a fixed period of time - it's your choice.
c) Corporate or other Entities - For ownership by a corporation, hedge fund, nation, state or county please contact us and we will create a fit to suit option. (Budget is open for negotiation)
​
Create your Brand Legacy through museum ownership. With iconic architecture and world-class artwork, your brand will appreciate.** The museum can become a platform for dialogue, a meeting place and a launch pad for innovation. Your investment improves while you enjoy the art. Lastly, the Jamali team will be there to provide support and knowledge.
​
To reach our goals we would like to invite your suggestions for any customized options you might desire. Let's open a dialog and find a solution for you.
​
*NOTE: We will provide everything you need, from A to Z, to make this a turn-key opportunity. We have the knowledge, facilities and staff to help you avoid the extensive commissions and fees normally associated with a project of this kind. And I have carefully saved the best of my work specifically for this museum - and for you. Significantly, since you are dealing directly with Jamali, the entire project will be transparent, based on a shared aesthetic and trust. Therefore, your collection comes to your museum project intact, saving vital funding and artwork to support the museum and your legacy in perpetuity.
**Jamali makes no guarantees as to actual return on any specific investment.

Summary of Art Investment Criteria*
In the year 2000, I created specific art investment criteria. With a Master’s in Economics and forty years of expertise in the Jamali art business, I have taken these criteria and successfully delivered the desired investment goals.
First of all, art acquired for investment has consistently outperformed traditional investment instruments. In fact, there are distinct advantages in acquiring specific artists work as compared to other classes of portfolios.
-
guaranteed authenticity and provenance
-
the investor has the benefit of a direct relationship with the artist
-
the investor has the rare opportunity to curate their selection, focusing on the pieces they ‘connect’ with**
-
contact with the artist for advice and practical support and networking through the artist’s foundation
There are also perennial values which help add real value and generate a maximum return on investments in high art, for example:
-
Spiritual values in art, for example, Kandinsky, the ‘cosmology’ of Jackson Pollock and today, Jamali’s Mystical Expressionism
-
The Ephemeral and Other-worldly aspects in art create ‘eternal’ values: consider Jamali’s Sufist methods and surfaces
-
Bringing together the processes of nature and the ritual of painting
-
Use of a highly emotive brush delivers a kind of transmutation of human feelings. For example, Edvard Munch and Frieda Kahlo, compares with Jamali’s figurative works
-
Jamali's entirely new techniques are real breakthroughs in painting, created through a spiritualized dance based on two innovative techniques; fresco tempera and pigmentation on cork.
-
The life story of the artist becomes increasingly important as it assumes a larger than life, iconic nature - it is a kind of work of art in and of itself.
-
The ‘lure of the exotic’ can add to this reputation and persona. For example, the Spaniard Picasso in France, the Haitian/Jamaican Basquiat in New York, Zao Wou-ki in Paris and finally Jamali in New York.
-
Employing themes in sync with human emotions and aspirations.
-
Selection of materials and processes: chosen based on experimentation, permanence and sustainability.
-
In conclusion, the value of art as investment is determined by its place in art history, in authoritative publications, in its presentation of a distinctive new style, its collectability and overall craftsmanship and quality.
