Philip Hoffman: How we built the largest art investment firm| London Business School

Philip Hoffman is Founder and CEO of The Fine Art Fund Group, one of the earliest “art hedge funds”, and probably the best known. Before founding the Group in 2001, Philip spent 12 years as a Director of Christie’s, becoming the youngest member of Christie’s International Management Board and eventually serving as the company’s Deputy CEO for Europe.

Now, with a team of over 40 professionals including asset managers, marketing analysts, art experts, art dealers, auction house managers and academics based in London, Lugano, Geneva and Dubai, Philip invests in rare art for investment purposes and currently advises some of the largest art funds in the world.

His talk at London Business School is part of the 2013-2014 Tell Series talks and it was recorded on 4 December 2013 at London Business School.
