Did you know that in March 2021, digital artist Beeple sold a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collage of his work for $69 million, making him the third most expensive living artist at auction after David Hockney and Jeff Koons?
Likely not – unless you are fluent in the lexicon of cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, security tokens, privacy tokens, digital assets and their classifications. Turns out NFTs are one of the fastest-growing sectors in the crypto industry.
But what exactly are NFTs?
In brief NFTs are digital assets that contain identifying information. They are usually linked to a specific asset – like a work of art.
NFTs are designed to give you something that cannot be copied like ownership of the work – though the artist can still retain the copyright and reproduction rights, just like with physical artwork. Put in terms of physical art collecting: anyone can buy a Monet print. But only one individual (or family) can own the original.
Some NFT marketplaces have a feature that allows artists to make sure they gets paid a percentage every time their NFT is sold or changes hands. So if your work gets super popular and balloons in value, you the artist will see some of that benefit.

Mark your calendar. Telluride Arts’ Art & Architecture takes place July 11 – 17, 2022. The week-long immersive art experience showcases the architectural, design, fine art and other creative talents of the Telluride region.
Returning after a pandemic-associated, two-year hiatus that unwittingly illustrated the importance of great residential design and during which art became a creative outlet for many, Art + Architecture will offer an expanded schedule of interactive community activities.
