Greetings,


The Kiss, a very well known masterpiece by Gustav Klimt (and one of my favorite pieces of art.) has been turned into an NFT and Belvedere announced that it is going to offer up for sale 10,000 digit NFT pieces of the work. They will be numbered and certified and I am sure come at a hefty price.

NFT=non fungible token

NFT definition (just in case your living under a rock) It is a one-of-a-kind digital token that you can buy or sell. These tokens can represent just about anything, and they use blockchain technology to prove ownership. Sometimes they are associated with a digital image, GIF, or song.

While some are still naysaying the stay-ability of the NFT, the market moves on and more and more artists are jumping onboard. NFTs are praised for ushering in a creator economy. Thousands of artists are taking the opportunity and the chance to produce and sell their creations on their own terms. The potential for the NFT creator economy goes far beyond empowering visual artists and changing the art world.

The single most important NFT sale in 2021 was Beeple’s Everydays: The First 5000 Days. Not only was this the largest sale of the year, but the event created a snowball effect throughout mainstream media, and brought the term “NFT” into households around the world. Before Christie’s decided to take a chance on NFTs via its Online Auction, the act of minting, collecting and trading NFTs was seen as niche at best. But after Beeple secured the biggest bag in all of NFTs, it was clear — even to Saturday Night Live — that the time of NFTs had arrived.

If you’re an artist and you’re making NFT id love to hear from you and learn from your experience and knowledge. I have not dived into this world…yet. But this is mostly because I’m still trying to understand the whole tech/terminology side of the process. I really like the idea of placing the control and money in the artists control. Even if i am not completely sold on a meta verse. Making an NFT is the easy part!

Until Next Time, I’ll share an update on my tree painting. I know! It’s been a while since i painted a tree….Peace Valerie
