You may all know Damien Hirst, the British contemporary artist who, in 2021, embraced the Web3 and crypto world, offering a sublime edition of 10,000 pieces. HENI, one of his publishers, offers both original works (private sales only) and prints at $3,500 of "The Dreams". No NFTs attached. :)

About provenance and data permanence. I can’t stress enough the importance of the bitcoin blocks. Museums will start to acquire and preserve works on Bitcoin. The simplicity of protocols such as Ordinals lies here. The museum of the future will feature the block # of a given work. Flora Form is in the Belvedere’s permanent collection. https://x.com/lukefivehundred/status/1906416855637463493

An edition of 16, offered as Prints on /gamma. MCE Flying Fish, 100% JavaScript, is inspired by DEPTH, a 1955 work by the Dutch Master and pioneer in impossible graphics and OP Art. MC Escher and William J. Kolomyjec, known as Dr. Bill, share many things in common. For example, both have seen some recognition late in their seventies... 😊

Egon Schiele, Mother and Child, 1916, pencil on paper; private collection. A recent discovery by Jane Kallir and Kerstin Jesse, curators of the upcoming show at the Leopold Museum, may change the market of this artist: his sister's first born who was not known up until now. A great article by the WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/style/egon-schiele-artist-history-eb2480e8.

Jean-Michel Basquiat multiples that don’t cost millions? During my research I was impressed by the number of posthumous works selling way high in price (north of seven figures). The Anatomy series, however, produced around 1982 are small editions, within 40 or less, on black Arches paper ranging in the $30k at several galleries and art marketplace platforms.

Interestingly, surrealism is driving contemporary art sales. Overall the market is down bad, as this interesting article by Mutual Art describes. In the pic below: Paul Delvaux, La ville endormie, 1938, oil on canvas. https://www.mutualart.com/Article/Turnover-Continues-Decline-at-London-Spr/F744ED05F5B5208F
