Investment, in a financial sense, is something that one puts money into in hopes of receiving a profit or gain. In an economic sense, an investment is something purchased that is not a consumer good, but is used for production of other goods and services. A type of financial investment is the purchase of a security, such as a stock or bond. Economic investments can be physical, such as machinery for a factory, or intangible, such as investing in job training to create human capital.

An investment is an object, mechanism, or system which is purchased with money or into which money is placed with the goal or receiving something greater in return.

"Blue-chip art refers to artwork produced by established, internationally recognized artists whose pieces consistently sell for high prices and at volume, demonstrating strong market demand and a stable, reliable value. These artists typically have a long history in the market, a well-established collector base, and their works often feature in major museum collections."[1]

One of the primary reasons why investors invest in blue chip art is that is doesn't correlate with other asset classes so it a form of diversification.[2] So if stocks/bonds and other types of investments are down that doesn't necessarily apply to blue chip art. According the Masterworks, which allows small investors to purchase shares of blue chip art, between 1994 to 2024, blue chip are has provided a higher rate of return than the Standard and Poor's index by 32%.[3]
