How High Are Art Prices Today? The Latest from Spring Auctions…

$85,800,000 for a Rothko

$98,385,000 for ANOTHER Rothko
$107,585,000 for a Brancusi sculpture
$181,200,000 for a Pollock

Sounds crazy, but those masterpieces were once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for the ultra-rich buyers. Postwar contemporary art’s scarcity is largely what’s driven appreciation that’s comparable to even the S&P over the last thirty years.*

Obviously, art investing is out of reach for most people.

But since 2017, Masterworks has taken a data-driven approach to investing in art, making it accessible to individual investors.

Masterworks members can invest in shares of artwork by Rothko, Basquiat, Warhol, and others. When a piece sells, they get a share of the proceeds.

Over $1.2 billion has been deployed across over 500+ artworks. And 29 exits to-date have delivered net annualized returns like 16.5%, 17.6% and 17.8% on pieces held  longer than a year, not including those unsold.

You know the big Ohio State medical building that went up off Route 33 a few years back, right across from Dublin Methodist? It's getting significantly larger. According to Columbus Business First, OSU Wexner Medical Center just purchased 16 more acres immediately east of that facility — land bought directly from the City of Dublin for $2.9 million — expanding their footprint there by about 50%.

The existing building on Shier Rings Road opened in 2022 on 34 acres and consolidated several of Ohio State's Dublin-area specialty and primary care practices under one roof. Adding 16 more acres next door is a meaningful commitment to this location — and a signal that the demand from Dublin and the surrounding townships has been real.

What's actually going in on the new land isn't settled yet. Construction timelines and specific services are still being worked out. But given what the existing facility already offers — urgent care, primary care, imaging, labs, and a range of specialties — it's reasonable to expect more of the same, and then some.

For Dublin residents who've already made the switch to seeing their doctors here instead of driving downtown, more capacity is good news. We'll keep an eye on what gets announced next.

Had any problems with package deliveries lately? If so, you might relate to this. One of our Dublin neighbors got so fed up with his mail carrier throwing packages that he bought a doorbell camera just to document it. What he caught wasn't subtle — carriers hurling boxes to the ground, one package sent hard enough into his front door that you can hear the impact on the video.

He says he’s made more than 50 calls to USPS about it. Every single one ends the same way: someone will call you back, someone will review the footage. Nobody has. When he confronted the carrier in person, that ended up on camera too — the carrier yelling obscenities at him in his own front yard.

USPS issued a statement saying customer concerns are a top priority. It was the same statement they gave last month when identical complaints came up on Columbus's West Side.

If you've had similar experiences, it turns out your best advocate might already be mounted next to your front door. Documenting it consistently — same carrier, same behavior, over time — is what finally got USPS's attention in other cases. Worth knowing if you've been frustrated and not sure what to do next.
