Provenance shows the history of an artwork: who owned it before, where it's been shown, and details about any times it was sold/auctioned.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa illustrates this well, having been owned by French kings and stolen in the 20th century, each event adding layers to its story, mystique, and value.

Provenance is often seen as a narrative of ownership, but consider it as an artwork's "biography," where each transaction and display location act like chapters, revealing shifts in cultural values and tastes over centuries, making the artwork a dynamic participant in history 🎨

Despite curiously are the artworks most disrespected, overlooked and omitted. This must change. We are alive.🫀

All the more reasons to make ERC 7160 the new standard 🥂
