Interest in career change into art/luxury investing

Hi all. I  have worked at a large BB bank for the past 2 years in NYC in a client-facing FO role in S&T. I am looking to make the move to the buy-side and work in IR or BD / Corp Dev. More specifically, I would like to move out of traditional finance and into a role working with art or luxury goods investing. I have tried networking and doing some research and it seems like there are very limited art investment funds and the only option to get exposure to luxury goods would be at Sotheby's or Christies. Additionally, I would be open to working in art financing.

Does anyone have any knowledge of funds that may have exposure/invest in art/luxury goods? I understand this is a very niche area but I am interested in pursuing this route.
