Art has been recognized as an alternative asset class since time immemorial.  Critically acclaimed celebrity art has established a historical record of parabolic price appreciation upon the passing of the celebrity artists. 

At Stealth Wealth | Confidential we specialize in the curation of living octogenarian celebrity art that meets our criteria of celebrity status, provenance, and critical acclimation.  Our members have access to art poised to skyrocket with the inevitable.

Celebrity high caliber art has the unique attraction of  bringing to bear a certain automatic market and attention of millions of established fans.

Unlike other alternative investments which value exists as mere digital zeros and ones in a bank or brokerage computer, these investment you can enjoy on a daily basis when stored properly in your own home or office.

We carefully select pieces that we have a high degree of confidence will appreciate exponentially as their scarcity looms.  We do not recommend selling or flipping these pieces.  They have a long standing history of appreciating aggressively over time compared to other asset classes.

Owners should consider using these pieces as collateral if monetization becomes necessary.

Stealth Wealth | Confidential members are given access to our careful curation of meticulously researched living octogenarian art, along with our connections on where to purchase and at what recommended price range.  Many of these works are priced higher than market and subject to negotiation with galleries.

We don't just uncover where these pieces are available at retail, we also crawl the web every single day to share with our members auctions and private party offerings, appropriately provenanced, that become for sale.  And we research and curate other non-visual art memorabilia to provide a wide variety of pieces for a spectrum of member investor budgets. 



Here are just two of the many historical instances of critically acclaimed art garnishing parabolic postmortem prices. 

Case Study No. 1:  David Bowie

Six time Grammy Award artist David Bowie was a prolific painting artist.  He left this world on January 10, 2016 at the age of 69.

 One of Bowie's paintings, DHead XLVI (on right), was found and purchased in a garbage landfill in South River, North of Toronto, Canada for $5 in the summer of 2020

In June of 2021 that painting  was appraised between $9,000 and $12,000, but it garnished $90,000 at an auction at Cowley Abbot Fine Art.  Prior to this auction other Bowie DHead paintings commanded between $15,000 and $ 30,000 in auctions from 2016 until 2018.



Case Study No. 2:  David Lynch

Iconic counterculture filmmaker David Lynch passed just months ago on January 16, 2025 at 78 years of age  (close enough to 80s for us).  Movie classics Mulholland Dr., Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Dune, and many others from this prolific filmmaker artist garnished an Honorary Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards, nine Primetime Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

He has created an abundance of critically acclaimed art in various mediums including paintings, drawings, photography printmaking, and sculptures.

Mr. Lynch's visual art has been the subject of several retrospectives at prestigious art institutions like The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Foundation Cartier.
