Exhibit 15b

 

 

 

 

 

Investment Thesis

 

  Inspired by the lack of representation of people of color in Western art, Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) revolutionized the depiction of Black and Latinx Americans in his paintings.
     
  Since Barkley’s passing in 2017, his market has grown considerably with 7 paintings exceeding the $1,000,000 mark.
     
  A few days after Masterworks’ acquisition of Selina/Star, a new auction record was set for Hendricks’ work at $4,013,000 (on December 8, 2020). Masterworks is pleased to be offering Selina/Star for just over one million at $1,041,000.
     
  This work is an excellent example of Hendricks’ iconic photorealistic portraits painted during the late 60s to mid 80s, which are the most sought-after by collectors.
     
  Although there are no guarantees, similar works have appreciated by 37.1% per year historically.
     
  Comparable works by Hendricks have performed well at auction including most recently, Latin from Manhattan… the Bronx actually (1980) which sold for $1,472,000 on October 2, 2020.
