Unlocking the Economic Potential of Art as a Financial Asset Our mission at Overstone is to create an environment where collectors can access the financial value of their art, without having to sell. We want to open up the world of fine art to facilitate art-backed lending. To do this we need to build trust among lenders and insurers around the world, transforming fine art into a stable asset class of its own. We are active across the USA, Europe, and Asia, and are working with a deep network of lenders, auction houses and insurers.
