It can be hard for artists, museum directors and curators, and even art dealers to call art an "investment." To lump art with gold and bonds cheapens it and diminishes it, the thinking seems to go. While art is certainly distinct from those commodities, the fact is "the last 10 years, the major art index has outperformed the S&P 500 -- sometimes spectacularly so. In 2008, a year in which the S&P 500 took a 40 percent haircut, the art market dropped a mere 4.5 percent." In other words, if you are looking for something to invest in, you could do worse than art.
