Why invest in art?

Another argument for purchasing art is the possibility of an investment. In times of suspicious bank behavior a trustable investment is hard to find. Art is one of the safest financial investments there is. We can support this statement with some examples:

In the year 1974 the British Rail Pension Fund invested 40 million pound sterling in art. In a period of eight years the fund bought over 2245 art objects and began to sell them 13 years later. The finished liquidating the objects in the year of 1997, the yield was unbelievable 11,8% per year.
