Item 1. Fundamental Changes

As previously disclosed by Masterworks 022, LLC (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 1-U as filed with the SEC on July 5, 2022, on May 24, 2022, an unaffiliated gallery, on behalf of the Company, sold the painting created by Cecily Brown to an undisclosed buyer (the “Buyer”) pursuant to an invoice (the “Agreement”).

On July 8, 2022, the parties consummated the transaction contemplated by the Agreement and title of the Painting passed to the Buyer. The Company subsequently commenced the process of winding up and dissolving in accordance with its Amended and Restated Operating Agreement. After allocating costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction and winding up and amounts in respect of profit sharing interests represented by Class B ordinary shares, record holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares will receive a distribution in the amount of approximately $29.80 per Class A ordinary share.

On July 11, 2022, the Company notified its shareholders regarding the above transaction. A copy of such notice is attached to this Form 1-U as Exhibit 15.1.
