Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF FPX.ART?: We founded FPX.ART leveraging the experience, challenges, extensive network, and key insights gained from Morgen & Stern, a family office specializing in the collection and trade of blue-chip art. Morgen & Stern managed an average potential business volume of approximately $339 million per year, with $112.6 million sourced directly from owners and serious dealers. This included works by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Claude Monet, Gerhard Richter, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Pablo Picasso. However, inefficiencies in the art market often made it challenging and time-consuming to convert this potential into actual business.

In late 2023, art entrepreneurs Tillmann Woeske and Andreas E. Lohaus met Felix Holzapfel and Patrick S. Lewis, who brought their expertise from the tech world. It quickly became evident that this was the perfect synergy to create FPX.ART—the most exclusive platform for collecting and trading blue-chip art, accessible only to selected family offices, collectors, advisors, and premium partners.
HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO FPX.ART?: If you are not yet a Morgen & Stern client or a member of our network, please start the onboarding process by clicking the "REQUEST ACCESS" button below. You will need to provide some personal information for our initial background research. If you meet our criteria, we will schedule an onboarding call with one of our managing partners to discuss your preferences, learn more about you, and introduce you to our platform, tools, and services. If both parties are satisfied with the onboarding call, you will receive your login details and gain access to FPX.ART.

HOW DO YOU DEFINE HIGH-VALUE BLUE-CHIP ART?: On FPX.ART, high-value blue-chip art refers to artworks with a minimum value of $500,000. Currently, our inventory's median price is $2.6M, with an average price of $17M and the highest listing at $180M.
WHICH ARTWORK DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IN STOCK?: One of the most significant impairment risks during the sales process of any artwork is that it gets shown to too many wrong people. Therefore, we believe confidentiality is key and never show our inventory to the public! We are not just another marketplace; we have built a sophisticated workflow and platform to show artwork only to high-profile collectors within a safe, non-public space that have already indicated their interest in precisely this or similar artwork. Thus, we beg your pardon, stating that you must register first and tell us about your preferences before you get access to our premium inventory of blue-chip art. However, we can already confirm that our current inventory includes works by Andy Warhol, Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Gerhard Richter, among others.
HOW DO YOU GUARANTEE LEGAL COMPLIANCE?: KYC & KYA: Our smart KYC & AML process ensures complete comfort and confidentiality for our clients while fully complying with legal requirements. Similarly, all artworks listed on our platform undergo a comprehensive verification process—covering authenticity, condition, valuation, provenance, literature, and exhibition history—known as "Know Your Art" (KYA).

Legal Advisor: We process all legal and financial matters of transactions only with legal consultants with experienced art and wealth management departments.
WHY EXCLUSIVE BLUE-CHIP ART COLLECTORS NETWORK?: Sales process: Showing artwork only to accredited high-profile collectors within a secure data room offers a premium experience, avoids "burning artwork", and delivers best results.

Privacy: Our blend of exclusivity, first-class technology, and cybersecurity guarantees anonymity and security (ISO9000 and ISO27001 ready).

Experience: The best sales happen within trustworthy networks. Directly connecting buyers with sellers delivers the best results (we work only with serious dealers and no brokers).
HOW DO YOU ENSURE THE SECURITY OF MY PERSONAL DATA?: To ensure the security of our clients' and partners' data and to facilitate secure transactions, our platform complies with standards developed to protect state secrets. We only store your personal data for a brief period during our onboarding process in an online system. After approval, we promptly delete most of the data and retain only your name and contact details in a non-hackable offline system. Upon finalizing the onboarding process, you receive an anonymous ID and password for logging in to FPX.ART. This guarantees that none of your personal data can be accessed, even in the unlikely event of a breach in our online system despite the implementation of the highest security standards.
CAN GALLERIES, DEALERS, AND BROKERS GET ACCESS TOO?: We offer authorized galleries and dealers restricted access to list their inventory on FPX.ART before it becomes available anywhere else. All artwork offered by galleries or dealers must go through the same KYA process as artwork provided directly by collectors to our platform. Brokers do not have access. However, we do offer an affiliate program so they can benefit from deals within their network on our platform. Find more information under the question "DO YOU OFFER AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM?"
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?: We charge a success-based fee of 5% to 10% of the sale price per transaction, equally split between the buyer and seller (2.5% to 5% each). This fee covers all costs through FPX.ART. Additional services, such as appraisals, logistics, or insurance, are the responsibility of the parties involved.
DO YOU OFFER AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM?: We have an affiliate program available for collectors, dealers, advisors, and other strategic partners. With this program, you can benefit from every transaction of any of your leads on our platform. There is no exclusivity requirement, so you can still make deals outside of FPX.ART if you are able to source supply and match it with demand within your network. Please reach out to us to explore how you can make the most of our affiliate program.
WHAT ARE YOUR AMBITIONS?: We aim to transform the current opaque and chaotic gray market for blue-chip art into a transparent and legally compliant white market. Our approach combines the high-quality user experience of luxury brands with a data-driven strategy from financial trading, making blue-chip art more easily tradable assets. Our goal is to expand the current $65 billion art market into a multi-trillion dollar industry by providing valuable data and efficiency to family offices, wealth managers, collectors, and premium partners increasing the supply of blue-chip art, and boosting trading frequency.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT I CAN TRUST YOU?: Trust is paramount in our multi-generation family office, Morgen & Stern, which specializes in trading and collecting fine art. We understand that trust is earned over time and can be lost in an instant. We encourage you to research our company, our team, and our partners thoroughly. Additionally, we are happy to connect you with other high-profile collectors, advisors, or dealers, who have worked with us, so you can hear about their experiences with our team and services firsthand.
