Assessment

On June 17, 2020, Scott Lynn gave an offhand approximation that Masterworks had over $30 million in assets under management. SEC Form 1-A filings show that cumulative qualified Regulation A offerings (Masterworks 001 through 008, and 010) totaled approximately $22.02 million by mid-June 2020. When counting artwork inventory acquired via founder credit facilities and pipeline offerings placed under contract across June and July 2020 (MW 001 through MW 014, including MW 014 contracted on June 24, 2020), total artwork acquired and managed reached $30.9 million to $31.1 million. Because fully qualified syndications stood at approximately $22.0 million on the date of the statement and only surpassed $30 million as late June/July acquisitions finalized, the statement is graded partially true.

SEC Form 1-A qualification circulars confirm 9 offerings (MW 001-008, 010) were qualified prior to mid-June 2020 with cumulative maximum offering value of ~$22.02 million.
Masterworks Form 1-A filings indicate Scott Lynn provided an outstanding loan facility of ~$11.9 million as of June 30, 2020 to purchase artwork prior to syndication qualification.
Including pipeline artworks and purchase agreements executed through late June/July 2020 (MW 001-014, such as MW 014 executed June 24, 2020 for $4.545M), cumulative asset value under management reached $30.9M-$31.1M.
