Notes
Maecenas is the first marketplace for fine art investment. It brings together collectors who want to raise funds, and investors looking for exposure to the art market. The platform allows both sides of a traditional art deal to reduce substantially the commissions paid, that in traditional transactions can be as high as 30% of the total value for the buyer and 50% of the total part for the seller.
