Art investment, as a form of financial speculation, is rapidly on the rise. As a now conventional use of art, the escalating presence of art investment is undoubtedly influential, not only in how art functions in the art market, but also on art's role in broader culture. To fully analyze the repercussions of art's use as an investment tool, it is necessary to look at how it operates both economically and culturally. Utilizing theories from cultural economics and cultural studies, this paper explores the ways art is valuated-as art's value provides the foundation of art's operation in the market and establishes its meaning as a culturally historical object. As art has not always been used as a means of investment, it has clearly undergone a transformative process. Uncovering the history of this process will include considering the rise of conceptual art, the emergence of branding, and resulting commodification. The art market is the convergence of art's function as a culturally historical object and its use as a commodity. Examining the structure of the today's art market will provide insight into the ways the convergence of these two functions perform in the art market. This can be found in the ways in which art is valued as well as the use of art, which are both essential to the stability of the art market. All of this, in turn, leads to consideration of the stability of the art market and the pivotal importance of that stability to cultural capital in the overall economy. Ultimately, a concatenation of events is pieced together: The subjugation and eradication of autonomous art by commodified art, causing an irrepressible rise of art investment. As the demand for investable art with authentic price and symbolism outnumbers the supply, it causes the proliferation of art endowed with fantasy price and symbolism, disrupting the balance between authentic and fantasy price and symbolism in the art market. This imbalance causes instability and then collapse of the art market. As the art market occupies a substantial amount of stock in cultural capital, its collapse will detrimentally affect cultural capital's functionality and thus the operation of the overall economy. In conclusion, I find that art investment bridged the steadily dwindling gap between the arts and economics. And, since art investment is bridging the gap, both sides have become increasingly dependent on its status and widespread influence. Not only has the economy become culturalized but the art industry has become economized. Both developments bring each discipline a sizable step closer toward each other, resulting in an overlapping of interests and an increasingly reliance on each other for stability and success.
