Steinhardt Pledges Picassos for Real Estate as Art Loans Surge
October 18, 2011 -- Bloomberg News
Howard Spiegler says that lenders that never before made loans using fine art as collateral are now considering such arrangements because they tend to appeal to high-net-worth individuals. Stephen Brodie, who chairs our lending practice and has experience in both art-backed loans and real estate development loans, notes that real estate development is usually financed by two- or three-year, variable-interest renovation loans, which carry relatively high interest rates because lenders fear getting a half-finished project as collateral. Howard and Stephen commented on a loan from JPMorgan Chase to a former hedge fund manager and art collector, who put up as collateral 20 pieces of fine art -- including paintings by Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock -- to borrow money to finance the purchase of commercial real estate.
