Guiding Philosophy in Art Collection
At Cole-Levi Klimt, we view art collection as more than a financial endeavour. It is a pursuit driven by cultural ambition, offering a variety of enriching experiences. We encourage combining passion with intellect, leading to significant, life-altering outcomes. The art market is unregulated, and none of the statements on our website should be interpreted as investment advice. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance, and investment in art should be considered only by those who understand and can manage the associated risks.

Cole-Levi Klimt provides information related exclusively to the sale of artworks, excluding “options”, “futures”, or any regulated investments under the FSMA 2000. Our information should not be taken as financial investment or professional advice as per the FSMA 2000.
