Eminem is one of the most successful rappers of all time, whose influence on music and pop culture is undeniable. The extremely limited edition of only eight pairs worldwide, along with Eminem's personal signature, make this sneaker one of the rarest and most sought-after models of all time.
Why invest in Eminem x Nike Air Max 97 signed (1 of 8)?
This Nike Air Max 97 (limited to 8 pairs worldwide + signed by Eminem) is an outstanding result of a notable collaboration between hip-hop icon Eminem and Nike.
The Nike Charity Series with Eminem
In 2006, Nike partnered with Eminem to launch the Nike Charity Series, an initiative that involved various global auctions featuring limited edition Air Max sneakers designed by the rapper. The aim of the auctions was to support disadvantaged youth worldwide, with all proceeds split between the Marshall Mathers Foundation and UNHCR's ninemillion.org campaign.
Exclusivity and Signature
What truly makes this sneaker unique is its extreme rarity and personal touch. There are only eight pairs of this special model available worldwide, each individually numbered (ours is number 6 of 8) and personally signed by Eminem. This signature turns each pair into a distinctive piece of artwork and gives it invaluable value. The combination of limited edition status and Eminem's personal signature makes this sneaker one of the most sought-after collector's pieces of all time.
Eminem's Comprehensive Vision
Eminem's vision encompassed eight designs within the Air Max series, ranging from the iconic Air Max '87 originally designed by renowned footwear designer Tinker Hatfield to the modern Air Max 360. Among the 64 pairs made for the Nike Charity Series, there were also eight pairs of this Air Max 97; thanks to the original signatures and decorations, each pair can be considered unique.
Collectible Value
The Eminem x Nike Air Max 97 is more than just a sneaker: it's a valuable collector's item and a piece of music history. For serious sneaker and hip-hop memorabilia collectors, this model is a must-have. The exceptional exclusivity and Eminem's personal signature make this sneaker a symbol of style, individuality, and cultural significance.

His works depict everyday life in a humorous yet ironic manner and are often inspired by artists such as L.S. Lowry, James Ensor, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, but with a contemporary twist."
"Albert Willem is a Belgian artist who started painting at 36 and quickly established himself on lnstagram. His work broke out onto the auction market in May 2022 and rapidly peaked at $213,955 by the end of the Spring. In January 2023, a bidder pushed the artist's record to $295,219 at Sotheby's with The mountain air provided a pleasant atmosphere." - James Kerbey, Expert at Maddox Advisory
Why Albert Willem?
Belgium (1979)
Albert Willem, a contemporary figurative artist from Brussels, is renowned for his whimsical paintings characterized by a naive style infused with wit and humor. Despite lacking formal art training, he immersed himself in galleries, museums, and the art scenes on social media platforms. Although he showed talent for drawing in childhood, he set aside art from the ages of 12 to 36 due to university and family obligations. Approximately four years ago, he reignited his passion by creating a painting for his home decor, marking a turning point he amusingly refers to as a "midlife crisis."
Artistic Style
Over time, Willem has explored various mediums and techniques, ranging from nail polish to spray paint to textile art. Presently, he primarily utilizes acrylic paint with a high gloss varnish to achieve vibrant colors. While the majority of his works are on canvas, he also utilizes repurposed cardboard as a painting surface. His artistic process is rapid, often completing pieces within 48 hours at most.
About His Artwork
His paintings are straightforward, at times appearing unfinished, boldly showcasing his rudimentary technical skills while capturing the raw energy of a beginner unrestricted by artistic conventions. Depicting everyday life in a light-hearted yet ironic manner, his works frequently portray humorous moments, drawing inspiration from artists such as LS Lowry, James Ensor, and Breugel the Elder but infused with a contemporary twist. Willem has exhibited his works internationally in Germany, Russia, and Belgium.
The Infinite Conga
In January 2021, Willem embarked on a project to paint a 'never-ending conga line,' continuously adding more cardboard pieces adorned with dancing figures to extend its length. The artwork can be divided for sale, allowing buyers to own segments of the dance and participate in the art collectively.
Rising Star
Willem attributes much of his artistic journey to social media, spending hours daily observing and learning from fellow artists. He believes that exposure to new art continually evolves his own style, driving him to experiment with different themes and techniques.
Presence in Auctions
Willem's rapid ascent to fame has been remarkable, with his works consistently surpassing estimated values by significant margins. His debut painting, Pilgrim Street 8 (2021), sold for $69,000, far exceeding its estimated value of $8,000 to $12,000. His record sale, Snowbound (2021), fetched an astonishing $225,000 at Sotheby's Hong Kong, despite an estimate of $13,000 to $19,000. Half of the 14 works sold at auction in 2022 fetched over $150,000, despite modest estimates.
The price of 76,100 € includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of 4,550 €. 71,550 € can be allocated to the asset.

The average purchase price for a Vantage V12 Black Carbon Edition in Europe is over 110,000 EUR, which is significantly higher than our cost price.
"Powered by a V12 engine and paired with the hugely desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, this Vantage delivers quite phenomenal performance capabilities. As time passes, well-maintained and sought-after Aston Martin models tend to appreciate in value. The V12 Vantage has the potential to become a future classic." - David Spickett, CEO of TheCarCrowd.
Why the Aston Martin V12 Vantage?
Rarer than a Ferrari F40
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage holds great weight amongst collectors. Aston Martin are renowned for their timeless and elegant designs and this particular car is no exception.
Strong Potential for Appreciation
Historically, limited-production, high-performance models from car manufacturers across the board, especially those with prestigious brands like Aston Martin, have shown strong potential for appreciation. As these cars become more collectible, their values tend to increase.
Unique Investment Opportunity
Similar to its competitors, the 6-speed transmission is becoming ever less common on performance cars, not to mention paired with a V12 engine. This uniqueness in the modern day is almost unheard of and represents a promising investment opportunity as collectors fight to get their hands on what could be one of the last manual V12 cars to leave a factory. The combination of a 5.9 V12 engine and a manual gearbox provides a driving experience that is increasingly rare in modern cars. This unique blend of power and engagement can attract driving enthusiasts and collectors.
A Rich History of Luxury and Performance
Aston Martin has a rich history and is synonymous with luxury and performance. The brand's association with iconic figures and its presence in popular culture, such as the James Bond franchise, bolster its appeal.
Timeless Design and Attention to Detail
Aston Martin is renowned for its timeless design and attention to detail. The V12 Vantage is no exception, featuring classic Aston Martin styling that is likely to remain attractive and relevant, adding to its long-term value.
Why this V12 Vantage?
Desired By Collectors
This particular example is a 2012, 28.3k mile Carbon black edition. Believed to be just 230 produced globally and only 30 in the UK. With 7 previous owners, 8 main dealer stamps and a recent £18,000 overhaul. The car also features full front end PPF.
Additional features include carbon-fibre side strakes, gloss-black 10-spoke diamond-cut alloy wheels, lightweight carbon-fibre and Kevlar bucket seats, and unique carbon-fibre tread plate inlays.
This example also boasts a carbon-fibre front splitter, bonnet vents, and rear bumper insert.
It rides on the correct set of 19-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels finished in gloss black with diamond-cut faces, framing gloss-black Aston Martin-branded callipers over carbon-ceramic discs, and shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
Equipment includes xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, clear taillights, cruise control, a fold-out infotainment system with satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, automatic air conditioning, switchable sport mode, an Aston Martin 700-watt Premium Audio system, and electrically adjustable seats with three-position memory.
This example had a paint protection film applied to its front end by the technicians at NVN London in 2019.
True Investment Mileage
This particular example has covered around 2400 miles per year in its 12 years of life giving it a low, rare, and investible mileage.
Past Performance
The graph shows since 2019, the V12 Vantage has seen a 47.74% rise in values equal to a 9.55% rise YoY.
The price of 91,000 € includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of 7,650 €. 83,350 € can be allocated to the asset.

In 2023, Britt received a Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in the Arts from the Egyptian government, a significant recognition in her adopted homeland that contributed to the recent surge in the prices of her work.
Who is Britt Boutros-Ghali?
Is a world-class artist following the tradition of the abstract expressionist giants, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, and Franz Kline.
Britt was born in 1937 in Svolvaer, in the Northern part of Norway, where the saturation of light in the summer was juxtaposed by the lack thereof in winter. She endured the harsh weather and daunting pressure of the Second World War. This emotional backdrop provided a fertile landscape for her bursting, colorful, and emotional work.
Britt has spent the last five decades living and working in Egypt where she is an integral part of the country's artistic community. Her art, characterized by vibrant colors and large-scale energetic paintings, draws inspiration from Egypt's rich and exotic culture. Employing "action painting", her work embodies a sense of spontaneity and creativity.
The physicality of Britt's work is evident through her seasoned and competent use of materials — the subject and outcome are determined through methodical structure, yet spontaneous in the outcome, hence allowing for the nature of the materials and her use of them to unfold and tell their mysteries.
Today, Britt divides her time between Cairo and Agami, maintaining studios in both locations. Her residence and studio in Agami, situated west of Alexandria along Egypt's northern coast, reflect her deep affection for the region. The artist compound is a living piece of art, infused with intricately crafted mosaics and murals. Local artists, collectors, and individuals with a penchant for the unique often come together to gather at this inspiring space.
Exhibitions and recognitions
Britt has been exhibited worldwide since her first exhibition in Paris in 1962 and is held in many public and private collections. In 1996, she received the prestigious St. Olav's Order, Norway's highest artistic honor, from King Haakon for her cultural and artistic contributions. In 2023, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in the Arts from the Egyptian government, a significant recognition in her adopted homeland that contributed to the recent surge in her work’s prices.
Britt's work has garnered international acclaim, and she has been featured in numerous prestigious collections and art institutions around the world:
Coca Cola Collection
Mercedes Benz Collection
Museum of Modern and Contemporary Arab Art, Doha, Qatar
Museum of Modern Art, Cairo, Egypt
Queen Noor, Museum of Modern Art, Aman, Jourdan

Who is Will Martyr and why invest in his works?
Early Career and Influences
Will Martyr (b. 1980, Eastbourne, UK) is a distinguished British artist renowned for his vibrant and colorful style. Currently residing and working in London, his work is celebrated in high-profile international private and corporate collections, often created through private commissions.
Formative Years and Artistic Development
Martyr's artistic journey began at the Slade School, where he immersed himself in color theory, drawing influence from modernist masters such as Ellsworth Kelly, Josef Albers, and Richard Diebenkorn. His time in New York further shaped his early work, infusing it with the city's rich architectural diversity and vibrant art scene. This period inspired his architectural paintings, which he continued to develop upon his return to London and during his studies at the Royal College of Art.
Distinctive Style and Themes
Martyr's works are known for their direct, immediate impact, combining familiar imagery with bold, juicy colors and occasional touches of diamond dust. His paintings evoke memories of holidays, branded with postcard-like slogans, and feature futuristic casinos and serene, uninterrupted spaces. The influence of post-war Americana, Pop Art, Modernism, Italian Futurism, and Russian Constructivism is evident throughout his work.
International Recognition and Collaborations
Throughout his career, Martyr has been involved in significant projects, such as the pan-European inter-professional project on the Bauhaus in 2010, collaborating with artists, historians, architects, and designers on built projects at the Bauhaus, Dessau, and Walter Gropius' Theatrehaus Jena. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in collections by prominent institutions.

The new version of the Kelly 25 bag, inspired by vintage cars, features a distinctive design that pays homage to the padded interiors of classic automobiles. The bag's leather is meticulously raised on all sides, creating a plush and luxurious texture.
Why invest in a Kelly Bag?
The Enduring Charm and Sophistication of the Iconic Kelly Bag
Originally known as the Sac-à-Depêche and crafted by the prestigious French luxury house Hermès in 1935, the iconic Kelly Bag later garnered its name from the revered American actress and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly's association with the bag, particularly using it to shield her pregnancy from the paparazzi, added to its allure and enigma. Since then, the Kelly bag has become synonymous with timeless elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and unparalleled style, establishing itself as one of the most sought-after luxury handbags globally.
Exclusivity and Rarity in the Hermès Market
Hermès is famed for its stringent buying policies, which restrict the number of bags an individual can purchase annually. By deliberately maintaining limited production, the brand ensures waiting periods of several years for prospective buyers. Consequently, the secondary market emerges as a preferred avenue for those seeking to circumvent waiting lists. Even pre-owned Kelly bags in heavily used condition command prices surpassing 10,000 euros, underscoring their extraordinary scarcity and desirability.
Why a Padded Kelly?
Unique Design Inspired by Vintage Cars
Investing in the new version of the Kelly 25 bag means owning a piece with a distinctive design that pays homage to the padded interiors of classic automobiles. The meticulously raised leather on all sides creates a plush and luxurious texture, adding a modern twist while evoking the nostalgic charm of vintage cars.
Exemplary Craftsmanship
Each edge of the bag is carefully saddle-stitched, a technique that not only reinforces the structure but also highlights the craftsmanship. This meticulous stitching divides the front and back of the bag down the middle, creating two distinct sections that add depth to the design and accentuate the bag's heritage. It showcases a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
Timeless Elegance and Sophistication
The overall aesthetic of the Kelly 25 is a celebration of timeless elegance and sophistication. By investing in this bag, you are acquiring a statement piece that combines classic inspiration with contemporary flair, making it a worthy addition to any collection.
Outlook for 2024
The outlook for 2024 for the Hermès Mini Kelly remains optimistic, with continued high demand. Kelly leather bags marked as "store fresh" still fetch prices around $30,000 to $40,000 on platforms like Sotheby's, and sometimes even higher at auctions, depending on factors such as color and production year. Although we are not seeing the peak prices observed in 2022, demand remains robust. Kelly leather bags are preferred over exotic or vintage versions and retain their popularity among Hermès clientele. Despite fashion editors and designers shifting their focus to larger bags, smaller bags, including the Kelly, remain highly sought after.

Choi Myoung-Young is a leading figure in the Dansaekhwa movement. Dansaekhwa, which translates to "monochrome painting," emerged in South Korea in the 1970s. Over the last three years, major galleries and collectors worldwide have increasingly sought works by Dansaekhwa artists, contributing to the movement's growing prominence in the contemporary art market.
Why Invest in Choi Myoung-Young?
Choi Myoung-Young is a leading figure in the Dansaekhwa movement and contemporary Korean art. Dansaekhwa, which translates as “monochrome painting,” was formalized in the 1970s in reference to Korean artists who redefined abstract painting in reaction to a turbulent socio-political environment.
Formative Years and Artistic Influences
Born in Haeju, Hwanghae-do, in 1941, Young defected to South Korea during the Korean War and grew up in Gunsan and Incheon. In 1957, he began studying art at Incheon National School of Education under master artist Chung Sanghwa, after which he entered the Hongik University College of Fine Arts in 1960 to study painting.
Evolution of Methodology and Style
After graduating from college in 1964, Young spent the remainder of the decade as a member of the art groups Origin Society (1963–1993), Korean Avant-Garde Association (A.G., 1970–1973), and École de Seoul (1975–1999), and participated in the likes of the Paris Biennale (1967) and São Paulo Biennale (1969) to set his foot in the art scene as an emerging artist.
Since the mid-1970s, Young has persistently explored using his body and the relationship between the canvas plane and the medium of paint under the theme of “Conditional Planes,” repeating and varying physical actions on top of the flat surface to understand painterly existence. In the mid-1970s, the artist produced what are known today as the “Sandpaper” and “Fingerprint” series.
Throughout the mid-1980s and the 1990s, Young’s repetitive movements took on vertical and horizontal orientations to settle as his unique methodology and style.
"Monotonous" Works
Young often uses the expression “monotonous” to describe his works. Creating superficial space composed of regular units—by performing repetitive actions within the frame of the blank, quadrilateral canvas—can be seen as a daily act of validating existence. The canvas as a background no longer distinguishes or restrains art and life. Just as the body and the mind are no longer subjects for distinction, the conditional plane is now an existential “platform,” an infinite space that serves to intertwine and reveal the artist’s repetitive actions. This is precisely why Young’s creative world is a demonstration of “controlling monotony,” something that ceaselessly flows toward infinite variations.
His work is held in several permanent museum collections including:
Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan
Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea
Busan Museum of Art, Busan, Korea

Conditional Planes
Series symbolizes Young’s artistic journey throughout his work, since the 1970s. This style emphasizes the flat surface of the canvas, aligning him with the Dansaekhwa paintings, which are characterized by geometric, simple, clear lines and forms in primary colors. Young’s particular style in this era was based on the idea of the creation and extinction of traces on canvas by using fingerprint and sandpaper.

Why invest in Móyòsóré Martins' art?
Artistic Creation and Influences
Móyòsóré Martins, a Nigerian contemporary artist based in New York, is taking the art world by storm. As a polymath, he dedicates himself to graphic design, product design, and music. MOYO's paintings are deeply narrative, embodying his personal journey. He merges his traditional Afro-cultural and spiritual roots with a pronounced aesthetic sense for fashion.
Artistic Development and Style
Born in Brazil, with both parents from Ekiti State, Nigeria, MOYO developed a sense of cultural independence from his family's tribal history and shaped his artistic vision through travel and upbringing. His work reflects the influences of the streets of London and New York, as well as his years of study in Ghana and Ivory Coast, expressing his Yoruba culture.
Artistic Approach and Technique
MOYO is self-taught and mainly inspired by his inner vision rather than other artists. His works are of a spiritual nature to him, representing his desires, dreams, and path forward. Moyo expresses the emotion of the characters he deftly paints, the backgrounds layered, manipulated, scratched, and then infused with text. He places himself in the canvas, in the artwork, in spirit and name, even his birthdate. He scribbles words, mathematical formulas, mantras, and prayers. He visually expresses his internal conversation, which shifts as his world does as a visual biography. He resists being put in a box. His unique use of materials and story is the cord that ties his work together. As his craft and career expand, he looks back, reflecting on his path and where he has come from, both as a person and artistically. Entrenched with personal symbolism, every element of a painting has a purpose and a specific meaning to him, much like a morse code. The eyes symbolize his own spiritual “all-seeing”; the clusters of floating eyeballs represent a feeling that all eyes are on him, being “seen,” his work being seen. The mouth, large and slightly aggressive, describes the intensity of the experience of people talking about him. The etched words are like a mantra to manifest his vision.
Influence on the Art Market
The prices of Moyosore Martins' paintings sized 180 x 150 cm have increased from $5,000 to currently $27,500 over the past three and a half years. His works have been collected by over 125 collectors, with approximately 170 paintings sold over the period. He has become somewhat of a cult figure.

It is important to note that Patek Philippe announced the discontinuation of the Nautilus Reference 5711/1A-010 in 2021, leading to increased demand and a corresponding rise in its market value.

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s dramatic life and iconic paintings—which variously feature obsessive scribbling, enigmatic symbols and diagrams, and iconography including skulls, masks, and the artist’s trademark crown—make him one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.
"I don’t think about art when I’m working, I try to think about life." - Jean-Michel Basquiat
Who is Jean-Michel Basquiat?
The dramatic life of Jean-Michel Basquiat and his iconic paintings, featuring obsessive scribbles, enigmatic symbols and diagrams, and an iconography including skulls, masks, and the artist's signature crown, make him one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. He found a mentor and friend in Andy Warhol, who helped the young artist navigate the New York art world of the 1980s.
Drawings
Basquiat's art focused on dichotomies such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. He appropriated poetry, drawing, and painting, combining text and image, abstraction, figuration, and historical information mixed with contemporary critique. He drew on his Caribbean heritage, with direct references to racism, slavery, the people and street scene of 1980s New York, historical Black figures, famous musicians, and athletes, as evidenced by his notebooks and many important drawings. The immediacy and intellectual depth of his paintings earned him wide recognition both before and after his untimely death at the age of 27. After Basquiat's death, his estate was controlled by his father Gérard Basquiat, who also oversaw the committee that authenticated the artworks, operating from 1994 to 2012 to review over 2,000 works, most of which were drawings.
Rise to Success
He was an American artist who achieved success during the 1980s as part of the neo-expressionist movement. Basquiat first gained notoriety in the late 1970s as part of the graffiti duo SAMO. In the early 1980s, his paintings were exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. At 21, Basquiat became the youngest artist to participate in Documenta in Kassel, Germany. At 22, he became one of the youngest artists to exhibit at the Whitney Biennial in New York.
Why Basquiat Prints?
Since his death at the age of 27 in 1988, the value of Basquiat's work has steadily increased. In 2017, "Untitled," a 1982 painting depicting a black skull with red and yellow streams, sold for a record $110.5 million, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever purchased. The global interest in Basquiat continues to rise, and auction results consistently exceed estimates. For example, a print of "Hollywood Africans" measuring 96.5 x 214.8 cm sold for £168,750, compared to an estimate of £30,000-50,000. Another highlight is "Portfolio I," consisting of four prints measuring 101 x 101 cm each, which sold for $604,800 against an estimate of $300,000-500,000, averaging $150,000 per print.

Wine from the Bordeaux subscription is still significantly younger than already marketed wines and therefore have a considerable potential for value appreciation.
Why Invest in En-Primeur Wine?
This is the first en primeur investment of the year on the platform. With en primeur (futures) wines, you invest in new wine that has not yet been bottled. However, en primeur wine is traded in bottles, not barrels. Buying en primeur wine for investment purposes is similar to the futures market: the wine is purchased before it has matured, as the buyer has a price expectation for the wine in the future.
Why Invest in Wine from Lafite?
Prestigious Reputation and Historical Significance
Château Lafite Rothschild, a renowned wine estate in the Pauillac region of the Médoc, is celebrated for producing some of the most sought-after and expensive red wines globally. Known for its perfume, elegance, finesse, and harmony, Château Lafite Rothschild stands out in contrast to the more powerful Latour and Mouton Rothschild wines. Exceptional vintages can age for 50 years or more, highlighting the longevity and investment potential of these wines.
Unique and Quality-Driven Winemaking Process
The precise blend of the grand vin varies by vintage, typically containing 80-95% Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot making up much of the rest. In the winery, each plot of grapes is fermented separately to preserve their unique terroir and ensure maximum control during blending. The wine is aged for up to 20 months in new oak barrels, enhancing its quality and complexity.
High-Quality Second Wine
Carruades de Lafite, the estate's second wine, has garnered a strong following of its own. This blend includes more Merlot (30-50%) and is aged for 18-20 months, with 80% in barrels and 20% in tanks. This meticulous process ensures a high-quality wine that complements the grand vin while offering a distinct profile.
Prime Vineyard Location and Composition
The Lafite Rothschild vineyard spans approximately 112 hectares (277 acres) of sunny, well-drained sites with fine gravel and sand over limestone subsoil. The vineyard is divided into three parts: the hillsides around the château provide core material for the grand vin, while the adjacent Carruades plateau contributes to the second wine. Additionally, a 4.5-hectare plot in Saint-Estèphe is included in its Pauillac-classified wines, adding to the vineyard's unique composition.
Diverse Vineyard Plantings
Around 70% of the vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% with Merlot, 3% with Cabernet Franc, and 2% with Petit Verdot. The average age of the vines is 40 years, contributing to the depth and complexity of the wines produced.
Esteemed Ownership and Management
The neighboring property Duhart-Milon shares ownership and management with Lafite. The estate is part of Domaines Barons de Rothschild, which also owns other prestigious properties like Château Rieussec in Sauternes and Château L'Évangile in Pomerol. This extensive portfolio underscores the expertise and prestige associated with Lafite Rothschild.
Rich Historical Legacy
Château Lafite Rothschild's reputation dates back to the late 17th Century when Jacques de Ségur established the vineyard. By the 18th century, it earned the title "The King's Wine" at Versailles, and in 1787, American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson recognized its excellence. Jefferson's passion for Lafite's wines led to significant orders, and today, bottles from that era fetch astronomical prices at auction.
Investment-Worthy Heritage
Purchased by Baron James de Rothschild in 1868, the estate has remained in the Rothschild family, becoming more consistent and reliable since the mid-1990s. With a history of producing sublime wines and regularly being recognized as wine of the vintage, Château Lafite Rothschild offers a compelling case for investment, combining historical significance, exceptional quality, and strong market demand.

His works depict everyday life in a humorous yet ironic manner and are often inspired by artists such as L.S. Lowry, James Ensor, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, but with a contemporary twist.
"Albert Willem is a Belgian artist who started painting at 36 and quickly established himself on lnstagram. His work broke out onto the auction market in May 2022 and rapidly peaked at $213,955 by the end of the Spring. In January 2023, a bidder pushed the artist's record to $295,219 at Sotheby's with The mountain air provided a pleasant atmosphere." - James Kerbey, Expert at Maddox Advisory
Why Albert Willem?
Belgium (1979)
Albert Willem, a contemporary figurative artist from Brussels, is renowned for his whimsical paintings characterized by a naive style infused with wit and humor. Despite lacking formal art training, he immersed himself in galleries, museums, and the art scenes on social media platforms. Although he showed talent for drawing in childhood, he set aside art from the ages of 12 to 36 due to university and family obligations. Approximately four years ago, he reignited his passion by creating a painting for his home decor, marking a turning point he amusingly refers to as a "midlife crisis."
Artistic Style
Over time, Willem has explored various mediums and techniques, ranging from nail polish to spray paint to textile art. Presently, he primarily utilizes acrylic paint with a high gloss varnish to achieve vibrant colors. While the majority of his works are on canvas, he also utilizes repurposed cardboard as a painting surface. His artistic process is rapid, often completing pieces within 48 hours at most.
About His Artwork
His paintings are straightforward, at times appearing unfinished, boldly showcasing his rudimentary technical skills while capturing the raw energy of a beginner unrestricted by artistic conventions. Depicting everyday life in a light-hearted yet ironic manner, his works frequently portray humorous moments, drawing inspiration from artists such as LS Lowry, James Ensor, and Breugel the Elder but infused with a contemporary twist. Willem has exhibited his works internationally in Germany, Russia, and Belgium.
The Infinite Conga
In January 2021, Willem embarked on a project to paint a 'never-ending conga line,' continuously adding more cardboard pieces adorned with dancing figures to extend its length. The artwork can be divided for sale, allowing buyers to own segments of the dance and participate in the art collectively.
Rising Star
Willem attributes much of his artistic journey to social media, spending hours daily observing and learning from fellow artists. He believes that exposure to new art continually evolves his own style, driving him to experiment with different themes and techniques.
Presence in Auctions
Willem's rapid ascent to fame has been remarkable, with his works consistently surpassing estimated values by significant margins. His debut painting, Pilgrim Street 8 (2021), sold for $69,000, far exceeding its estimated value of $8,000 to $12,000. His record sale, Snowbound (2021), fetched an astonishing $225,000 at Sotheby's Hong Kong, despite an estimate of $13,000 to $19,000. Half of the 14 works sold at auction in 2022 fetched over $150,000, despite modest estimates.
The price of 63,700 € includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of 3,850 €. 59,850 € can be allocated to the asset.

Why Invest in the Nike Air Jordan 8 Kobe PE?
The Nike Air Jordan 8 Kobe PE (Player Exclusive) is a special edition that was never released to the public. The shoes were only given to Kobe's family and friends.

Sustained Demand

Design and Aesthetics

Exclusivity
The shoes are ultra-limited. There might still be 1 or 2 pairs in the world that are new and completely unused. There are almost no online listings.

Albert Willem begeistert mit seinen Werken die Kunstwelt. Nach unserem ersten erfolgreichen Willem Exit präsentieren wir hier ein weiteres Meisterwerk.
"Albert Willem ist ein belgischer Künstler, der im Alter von 36 Jahren mit dem Malen begann und sich schnell auf Instagram etablierte. Seine Arbeiten starteten im Mai 2022 auf dem Auktionsmarkt durch und erreichte bis zum Ende des Frühlings rapide einen Höchststand von 213.955 US-Dollar. Im Januar 2023 trieb ein Bieter den Rekord des Künstlers bei Sotheby's auf 295.219 US-Dollar." - James Kerbey, Experte bei Maddox Advisory
Warum Albert Willem?
Belgien (1979)
Albert Willem, ein zeitgenössischer figurativer Künstler aus Brüssel, ist bekannt für seine skurrilen Gemälde, die sich durch einen naiven Stil auszeichnen, der mit Witz und Humor durchdrungen ist. Obwohl er keine formale Kunstausbildung hatte, tauchte er in Galerien, Museen und die Kunstszene auf Social-Media-Plattformen ein. Obwohl er als Kind Talent zum Zeichnen zeigte, legte er die Kunst von seinem 12. bis zum 36. Lebensjahr aufgrund von Universitäts- und Familienverpflichtungen beiseite. Vor etwa vier Jahren entfachte er seine Leidenschaft neu, indem er ein Gemälde für seine Wohnkultur schuf, was einen Wendepunkt markierte, den er humorvoll als "Midlife-Krise" bezeichnet.
Künstlerischer Stil
Im Laufe der Zeit hat Willem verschiedene Medien und Techniken erforscht, von Nagellack über Sprühfarbe bis hin zur Textilkunst. Gegenwärtig verwendet er hauptsächlich Acrylfarbe mit einem Hochglanzlack, um lebendige Farben zu erzielen. Während die Mehrheit seiner Werke auf Leinwand sind, verwendet er auch recycelten Karton als Malgrund. Sein künstlerischer Prozess ist schnell, oft werden die Stücke innerhalb von höchstens 48 Stunden fertiggestellt. Über seine Kunstwerke
Seine Gemälde sind unkompliziert, manchmal wirken sie unfertig und zeigen kühn seine rudimentären technischen Fähigkeiten, während sie die rohe Energie eines Anfängers einfangen, der nicht durch künstlerische Konventionen eingeschränkt ist. Seine Werke stellen den Alltag auf eine humorvolle, aber ironische Weise dar und lassen sich oft von Künstlern wie LS Lowry, James Ensor und Breugel dem Älteren inspirieren, jedoch mit einem zeitgenössischen Twist. Willem hat seine Werke international in Deutschland, Russland und Belgien ausgestellt.
Die unendliche Conga
Im Januar 2021 begann Willem ein Projekt, eine ""nie endende Conga-Linie"" zu malen, indem er kontinuierlich weitere Kartonstücke mit Tanzfiguren verzierte, um ihre Länge zu verlängern. Das Kunstwerk kann zum Verkauf aufgeteilt werden, sodass Käufer Segmente des Tanzes besitzen und gemeinsam an der Kunst teilnehmen können.
Aufstrebender Stern
Willem führt einen Grossteil seiner künstlerischen Reise auf soziale Medien zurück und verbringt täglich Stunden damit, Kollegenkünstler zu beobachten und von ihnen zu lernen. Er glaubt, dass die Exposition gegenüber neuer Kunst seinen eigenen Stil ständig weiterentwickelt und ihn dazu treibt, mit verschiedenen Themen und Techniken zu experimentieren.
Präsenz bei Auktionen
Willem's rascher Aufstieg zum Ruhm war bemerkenswert, wobei seine Werke ständig die geschätzten Werte deutlich überschritten. Sein Debütgemälde, Pilgrim Street 8 (2021), wurde für 69.000 US-Dollar verkauft, weit über seinem geschätzten Wert von 8.000 bis 12.000 US-Dollar. Sein Rekordverkauf, Snowbound (2021), erzielte bei Sotheby's Hongkong erstaunliche 225.000 US-Dollar, obwohl der Schätzpreis bei 13.000 bis 19.000 US-Dollar lag. Die Hälfte der 14 bei Auktionen im Jahr 2022 verkauften Werke erzielte über 150.000 US-Dollar, trotz bescheidener Schätzungen.

Why Invest in the Glenfarclas Pagoda Series?
Proven Collectibility
When assessing the collectibility of a whisky series, several key factors come into play: a well-known distillery name, limited supply, unique bottle and label designs, and a historical track record of value appreciation for a complete set. The Glenfarclas Pagoda Series Collection meets all these criteria and more.
Prestigious Distillery with Rich History
Glenfarclas is one of Scotland's most renowned distilleries and remains one of the few still independently owned. The distillery's illustrious history is reflected in the bottle design, inspired by the iconic “pagoda-like” kiln ventilation tower developed by Charles Doig. This architectural feature became integral to distillery design across Scotland in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Exceptional and Unique Packaging
This series goes beyond simple custom labels. Each Glencairn crystal decanter is hand-blown and topped with a distinctive pagoda-shaped handcrafted magnetic closure that combines aesthetics with functionality. The decanters are further embellished with silver, showcasing exceptional attention to detail, which naturally led to their limited production.
Highly Limited Production
Only 100 bottles (700 ml) were produced for each of the Bronze, Silver, and Gold bottlings. Due to the extremely limited quantities, most collectors had to go directly to the distillery to obtain these unique bottles. However, we are offering this collection at over 10% below the current available online prices.
Superior Whisky Quality
Beyond limited supply and unique packaging, the true highlight of this collection is the whisky itself. The “youngest” whisky in this set is 43 years old, with the oldest being 59 years old. The casks for these bottlings were meticulously selected by whisky expert and “Keeper of the Quaich” Stephen Notman and George Grant, a 6th generation member of the Glenfarclas Distillery family. Described by the distillery as “quintessential and [the] very finest super-premium aged casks,” the quality of the whisky surpasses any previous Glenfarclas bottling, setting a new benchmark for the distillery's output since the 19th century.

Both sneakers are part of the White Dunk City series. This collection captures the spirit of New York, Tokyo, Paris, and London in sneaker form. Due to their strict limitation, the shoes are extremely sought after and rank among the most influential Nike collector's items.
"After the Pigeon Dunk, here come the next two highlights from the legendary Dunk City Pack: Tokyo and London! A good investment opportunity to invest in two sneakers with a strong historical performance." - Constantin Philippi - Sneaker Expert
Why invest in the Nike Dunk Low City Pack?
The Tokyo and London models of the Nike SB City Pack are among the most important and exceptional sneakers in the world. The value increases of recent years show an ambitious outlook for the future. The concept of the two Dunks, their unique design, and the cult status surrounding the City Pack will continue to be significant in the future. Additionally, there is an extremely limited release of only 202 pairs per model. Keep in mind, we are talking about a release from 2004, so there will be very few pairs left in absolute pristine condition. Most pairs were worn in the 2000s, as the incredible value increase was not foreseeable at that time.
After the Nike SB Dunk Low Pigeon (representing New York City), we continue our journey with two Dunk models that also represent important metropolises.

The hydrogen vehicle market, which utilizes platinum for fuel cells, is expected to witness substantial annual growth of 47.9% between 2024 and 2032. Within the last 3 months prices increased by 16.4%.
Why Invest in Platinum?
Versatility and Diversification
Platinum, a precious metal utilized across various sectors, is often grouped alongside gold and silver. Its usage in jewelry and as a method of diversifying investment portfolios makes it an attractive option for investors.
Key Role in Vital Industries
Platinum plays a crucial role in catalysts employed in diesel engines, making it indispensable for emission control. Additionally, it is the preferred metal in the expanding green hydrogen sector, acting as a catalyst in crucial applications like electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells.
Supply and Demand Dynamics
The price of platinum is significantly influenced by the interplay between supply and demand. Recent years have witnessed market shortages due to escalating demand and labor strikes in key mining regions.
Positive Outlook and Strong Fundamentals
Despite challenges, platinum maintains a promising outlook due to its robust fundamentals. Its cost-effectiveness compared to palladium in catalysts further enhances its attractiveness for investors. Moreover, platinum's enduring appeal persists despite the global shift towards electric vehicles and technological advancements.
Resilience in Economic Uncertainty
Similar to other precious metals, platinum is often viewed as a safe investment during periods of economic instability. Its value tends to remain steady or even rise when other investment avenues may be faltering.
Potential for Growth in the Medical Sector
Platinum also finds applications in the medical field, including its use in pacemakers, stents, and cancer treatments. With ongoing advancements in medical technology, the demand for platinum in this sector could increase.
Dominance in the Hybrid Vehicle Market
Although fully electric vehicles do not require platinum, it remains essential for hybrid vehicles. The hybrid vehicle industry represents a substantial market where platinum is anticipated to maintain its dominance.

Jeff Staple envisioned a shoe that would represent his city, which is how he created the Nike SB Dunk Low "Pigeon", inspired by the grittiness of New York City's most iconic feathered inhabitant, the pigeon. Without this release, sneaker culture wouldn't be what it is today.
Why invest in Nike Dunk Low Pigeon?
The story of these sneakers is a fascinating and significant episode in sneaker culture, particularly in the history of skate footwear.
Concept and design
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pigeon was designed in 2005 in collaboration with New York designer and founder of urban clothing brand Staple Design, Jeff Staple. The design is inspired by the pigeons that are ubiquitous in New York City. The shoe's colors (gray, white, black, and a striking salmon pink accent) reflect the colors of an urban pigeon. On the heel of the shoe, there is an embroidered Pigeon logo, which has become the iconic mark of the model.
Limited edition
The Nike SB Dunk Low ""Pigeon"" was produced in a very limited edition of only 150 pairs. This limitation significantly contributed to the shoe's popularity and collectible value.
Launch event

Saito’s main market is vibrant and growing. The Saito Estate is solely represented by the James Fuentes Gallery, located in New York and Los Angeles. Nevertheless, due to the increasing interest from Europe, there are plans to include more prominent galleries and dealers beyond the US.
Who is Kikuo Saito?
Kikuo Saito (1939-2016) was a Japanese American abstract painter with ties to the Color Field movement. Born in Tokyo, he came to New York in 1966, where he worked as an assistant for such eminent painters as Helen Frankenthaler, Kenneth Noland, and Larry Poons, a move that would mark the beginning of his transformative artistic journey.
A Painter's Journey
Saito was lauded as a well-rounded artist. Much has been said about his theater work with Robert Wilson, Peter Brook, Ellen Stuart, Jerome Robbins, and others, but Saito was, in fact, the eternal painter. The renowned critic and curator of Color Field painting, Karen Wilkin, wrote: “Even before he completely abandoned theater projects, he increasingly concentrated on painting, developing a personal version of Color Field abstraction. Saito’s mature work is characterized by inventive, often surprising color, which ranges from frankly gorgeous, richly varied intensities to subdued near monochromes, as well as by eloquent drawing…”
Evolution of Color Field
Saito the Color Field painter, who, in the beginning, resonated in the footsteps of Frankenthaler, quickly climbed the ladder to painting of his own, in fact, beyond Frankenthaler’s flows of paint. Like Basquiat, who moved abstract expressionist painting forward to include figurative and conceptual content, Saito moved Color Field to a new level structured with content and moods, peppered with objects, clouds, and Roman letters.
Recognition and Acclaim
Memories or echoes of movement become autonomous sweeps across the canvas, fraying into scribbles and tatters…sensuous tangles and swipes all-but divorced from reference”, writes Wilkin. In the past few years, Saito’s original take on Color Field and the beauty of the works have been increasingly acknowledged by collectors, critics, dealers and institutions.
Saito’s work can be found in the collections of major museums and has been the subject of multiple solo exhibitions.
Limited Supply and Growing Interest
Following Saito's passing in 2016, there has been no new output of art, resulting in a finite supply of his works. Despite this limitation, interest in Saito's art continues to grow, particularly with the recent entrance of major auction houses such as Sotheby's, Christie's, and Phillips into the market. This influx of interest promises to enhance auction liquidity and drive further appreciation in Saito's prices.

This one-of-a-kind memorabilia is the largest framed Michael Jordan dual jersey ever released and it features six action images dating back to his rookie season and his last championship when he hit the game-winning jumper in game 6 against the Utah Jazz.
Why investing in Michael Jordan memorabilia?
Born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, is an American basketball player widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, which is why his figure is so sought after in memorabilia. He grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, and excelled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1982, he scored the game-winning shot in the NCAA national championship game. In 1984, the Chicago Bulls selected him in the NBA draft. Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA championships in the 1990s. His collaboration with Nike resulted in the iconic Air Jordan sneakers.
Early Career
In 1984, the Chicago Bulls drafted Michael Jordan. Jordan was 21 years old at the time and one of the best collegiate players in the country. Jordan became Chicago's franchise player, and the rest is history. Jordan put on a display in only his third game, scoring and defending against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jordan finished the game with 37 points, six steals, five assists, four rebounds, and two blocks. Jordan concluded his rookie season with the most points (2,313) in the league, averaging 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 2.4 steals per game for the Bulls in 82 games. Jordan's amazing stats won him an NBA All-Star spot and earned him the 1985 Rookie of the Year award.
Legacy
Jordan went on to play 13 seasons for the Bulls, winning six championships and being voted Finals MVP six times. Jordan's individual accolades and accomplishments include five Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, ten All-NBA First Team designations, nine All-Defensive First Team honors, fourteen NBA All-Star Game appearances, three All-Star Game MVP Awards, ten scoring titles, three steals titles, and the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. Jordan won two Olympic gold medals, including one as a member of the 1992 Dream Team. The Bulls retired Jordan's number 23, and in 2009, Jordan was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
"Air of Greatness" jersey autographed
This one-of-a-kind memorabilia is the largest framed Michael Jordan dual jersey ever released and it features six action images dating back to his rookie season and his last championship when he hit the game-winning jumper in game 6 against the Utah Jazz. Jordan has autographed this framed 1984-85 Chicago Bulls red rookie and 1997-98 Bulls red away authentic Mitchell & Ness jersey in black and silver paint pen. The frame gives it an approximate overall size of 97" x 45". His signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated's Five-Step Process.
Pass into history
By the end of the season, Jordan became the NBA Rookie of the Year—and Jordan 1 sales total $126 million.
The sneaker became so popular and successful that Nike continued to make new signature Air Jordans each season. From the inception, Air Jordans have always been the pinnacle of sneakers, unmatched in their quality, craftsmanship, innovation, performance, and style.
Was a fashion and marketing alley-oop—the pinnacle for an athlete branded product and a feat that wasn’t surpassed by anyone else. The result is that the Jordan 1s are some of the most coveted shoes today. In 2020, Sotheby’s auction house sold a pair of Jordan 1s for $560,000.

Cooper is a rising American artist managed by Maddox Gallery. Within a short time, he has gained a collectors base that shows great geographical and demographical diversity. This underlines his potential.
The Artistic Journey of Andrew Cooper
Early Influences and Signature Motifs
Andrew Cooper's early years were influenced by the music played on his grandparents' record player, which became a formative part of his childhood. The shapes and silhouettes of this household object imprinted themselves on his mind, eventually becoming a signature motif in his large-scale paintings.
Returning to Roots
Born and raised in Evansville, Indiana, Cooper – who now goes by the moniker "Cooper" – has lived in various places but now resides and works in his home state. His studio and flat are located in the same building, with the studio gradually encroaching on the living quarters due to the size of his pieces. This blend of living and working spaces is believed to inspire the scenes he paints, as he often describes his work as a self-portrait in a way.
Aspirations and Inspirations
Cooper's aspirations are described as astronomical, with a notable ability to articulate his passion and the process of his creation. His inspirations are humble, drawing from the simplicity of everyday life. Objects like tiny potted plants, books, patterned wallpapers, record sleeves, speakers, and sound systems are frequently seen in his paintings. These elements, inspired by his background in graphic design and his journey to combat anxiety, have been integrated into his work. This journey led him to West London for a solo show at Maddox Gallery.
Major Achievements and Collaborations
In 2018, Cooper created his largest mural to date, "Flower Fields," in the downtown art district of Los Angeles. This monumental work marked a significant milestone in his career. Additionally, Cooper has collaborated with notable brands such as Puma, WeTransfer, and Vans, further cementing his presence in both the art and commercial worlds.
Background in Design
Cooper's journey to fine art began with a background in graphic design, which can be seen in the strong design elements of his work. Despite an initial desire to study painting, he was encouraged to pursue graphic design for its job prospects.
The Role of Social Media
Social media, particularly Instagram, has played a crucial role in gaining visibility for his work. It was through Instagram that Jay Rutland, Maddox Gallery’s director, discovered his art. Without a website, Instagram has been the primary platform for showcasing and selling his finished paintings.
Creative Process
Cooper typically begins his artistic process with a pencil sketch, completing about 50% before starting to paint. The remainder of the painting is filled in based on a mental blueprint, allowing for a rhythmic completion of the piece.
Influence of Music
Music plays a vital role in Cooper's work, with speakers and repeated motifs of musical equipment often appearing in his art. Painting these motifs has been found to be meditative, helping to alleviate his anxiety and creating a zen-like focus on the shapes.
Childhood Memories
A significant personal element in Cooper's work is the HiFi stereo, a cherished memory from his grandparents’ house, symbolizing familial gatherings and musical experiences.
Diverse Collectors
Cooper’s collectors come from various backgrounds and regions, including Taiwan, China, and Korea. His exhibitions attract a wide demographic, demonstrating the broad appeal of his paintings.
Favorite Artists
Cooper's artistic influences include David Hockney, Hilary Pecis, Mark Paul Deren (Madsteez), and Greg Mike, among others. Hockney, in particular, has influenced Cooper’s use of color, despite never having met him personally.

Dodd-Noble, an emerging artist, arranged her first solo art show at the Roman Road Gallery, situated within the Columbia Hotel in London in 2020.
Why invest in Daisy Dodd-Noble?
Daisy Dodd-Noble, born in 1989, is a distinguished painter hailing from London, England. She completed her Master's in Fine Arts at the esteemed New York Academy of Art, nestled in the vibrant district of TriBeCa, New York, in 2016.
Artistic Journey:
Dodd-Noble's artistic journey has been a fascinating evolution. Initially immersed in the realm of political art, she underwent a significant transformation during her tenure at the New York Academy of Art. Under the tutelage of Inka Essenhigh, a renowned figurative painter celebrated for her imaginative compositions, Dodd-Noble found herself drawn to the tranquility of landscapes amidst the bustling chaos of Manhattan. Captivated by the city's trees, she discovered solace and stability in sketching them. This practice soon burgeoned into a profound exploration of invented environments, where she intricately intertwined real trees with fantastical landscapes. Her signature style, characterized by saturated skies and uninhabited expanses, serves as a canvas for her idealized renditions of nature. Dodd-Noble's oeuvre transcends mere representation; it delves into poignant themes such as environmentalism and humanity's symbiotic relationship with the natural world. Her technicolor landscapes, though vibrant and bucolic, harbor a deeper message of environmental conservation. Through meticulous manipulation of color and light, she imbues her works with an ethereal quality, inviting viewers into a realm where innocence reigns supreme.
Perception and Expression:
Having relocated to London, Dodd-Noble now channels her artistic vision towards trees from her native UK, as well as locales such as Costa Rica and southern France. Far from being mere reproductions of idyllic landscapes, her vibrant canvases serve as manifestations of self-awareness. In her own words, she elucidates, "I'm definitely not trying to construct a new 'world.' I am striving to deepen my own perception of the world around me... and then visually communicate my understanding of the nature of reality and the relationship between us and the world around us."
Exhibition Highlights:
Dodd-Noble's artistic prowess has garnered recognition on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2020, she made her solo exhibition debut at the esteemed Roman Road Gallery, housed within the historic Columbia Hotel in London. Additionally, her works have been featured in prominent group exhibitions across Europe and the United States. Notable venues include Stems Gallery in Ixelles, Belgium; Roman Road Gallery in London; G/A R T/E N in Como, Italy; Unit Gallery in London; Bowes-Parris Gallery in London, and Tchotchke Gallery in New York. Further cementing her status as a rising star in the art world, Dodd-Noble has participated in prestigious residency programs. Notably, she held solo exhibitions titled "Grounded" and "Origins" during her residency at L21 Gallery in Spain in 2022.
In essence, investing in Daisy Dodd-Noble is not merely a financial decision; it is an investment in the boundless creativity and profound insight of a visionary artist poised to leave an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene.

He is recognized for his paintings and other works that juxtapose contrasting visual elements from popular culture. His creations often include allusions to Pop Art, imbued with a surrealistic vision.
Early Beginnings and Education
Salle came to art at a very young age. By the time he was eight years old, he was learning life drawing, and during high school, he regularly attended art classes. He later studied at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), earning a BFA in 1973 and an MFA in 1975, and trained under artists such as John Baldessari and Vito Acconci.
Rise to Prominence
The artist rose to prominence in the 1980s alongside a generation of painters like Julian Schnabel and Eric Fischl, who were working in a new expressionist mode. He is also associated with Pictures Generation artists such as Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, and Richard Prince, who reimagined mass-media imagery and advertisements in their works. Salle's first major gallery exposure was with Mary Boone, the renowned talent discoverer, who first exhibited his work in 1981.
Representation and Recognition
Today, Salle is represented by prestigious international galleries: Gladstone Gallery in New York and Brussels Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris and London Max Hetzler in Berlin Lehmann Maupin in Asia Skarstedt, the blue-chip gallery that hosted seven solo shows by Salle over the past decade, will remain active in the secondary market, though the artist is now represented by Gladstone in New York.

Artistic Style and Philosophy
Salle is also a prolific writer and critic whose essays and interviews have been published in various prestigious publications. His work is known for its compression and concision, exploring image juxtapositions and pairings of scale, color, and touch. Salle's paintings often feature background details drawn from advertisements, magazine photos, and newspaper articles, inviting viewers to decipher their conceptual connections to the foreground imagery.
"In these paintings, I'm interested in compression and concision – the haiku rather than the ode. I'm working not just with image juxtapositions, but also with pairings of scale, color, touch and so forth. I want to see one thing through another; the so-called 'background' is really another character." - David Salle".
