Our range of capabilities helps us deliver a broad combination of services to our clients.

Bank of America's long standing commitment to the arts helps us make an important connection to the communities we serve. That's why we're proud to support Masterpiece Moment—a video series that celebrates great works of art.

Art Lending

Leverage your collection to unlock capital.

Your art collection is a considerable financial asset that can lend flexibility to your overall wealth management strategy. Borrowing against the value of your art collection may help you access liquidity, raise capital, or reallocate and diversify your portfolio. Plus, what you might pay in interest on an art-related loan is generally less than the fees for an unsecured loan.

Key Art Lending Services

  • Convert a static asset into one of economic value
  • Receive objective appraisals through third-party appraisers
  • Maintain possession of pledged artwork
  • Engage our dedicated team of fine art credit executives

Consignment Services

Arrange for the sale of art and collectibles through our partnerships with auction houses

Whether a collector, heir, or institution prefers to sell one work or an entire collection, Bank of America Private Bank can assist in arranging consignment agreements with auction houses, making our pre-negotiated terms available to you and streamlining the overall process.
