On NFTs – Collector’s Edition

A new era of digital art

The art world is at the dawn of a new era characterised by the introduction of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This technological innovation has not only changed the way art is created, sold and collected, but also raises profound questions about the nature of ownership and authenticity. Featuring 10 essays by leading experts and profiles of 101 artists who are shaping the NFT universe, the book not only recognises the disruptive power of blockchain technology in art, but also connects digital progress with the tradition of art history.

The merging of art and technology

The book is not only a documentation of the NFT movement, but also a critical examination of the ways in which this digital revolution is redefining the concepts of art and artistry. Through the dialogue between historical artworks and modern digital creations, “On NFTs. Collector’s Edition” shows unconventional cross-connections and thus encourages a new look at art history. Carefully curated by editor Robert Alice, the juxtaposition shows how traditional artistic techniques and modern technology merge to create new forms of expression.

The artists of the NFT revolution

An integral part of the book are the portraits of the 101 most influential artists and artist groups in the NFT field, from pioneers like Beeple and Refik Anadol to emerging talents. The profiles not only provide insight into their creative processes and visions, but also shed light on the personal stories and motivations behind their work. They give the reader the opportunity to explore the diversity, depth and transformative power of the NFT universe and illustrate how NFT offers creatives new opportunities to realise their visions and express themselves artistically in the digital world.

An anthology of digital art

The “On NFT. Collector’s Edition” is aimed not only at art lovers and collectors, but also at anyone interested in the interface between creativity and technology. With a comprehensive glossary of key terms from the NFT network, a detailed overview of the exhibition and a timeline documenting the NFT’s most important developments, the publication is an indispensable resource for newcomers and experts alike. It encourages readers to look beyond the current enthusiasm for digital art and explore the long-term impact of NFTs on the art world.
