LG’s OLED range for 2021
Also highlighted in the presentation will be Hirst’s first NFT series. The Currency is a collection of 10,000 NFTs which correspond to 10,000 unique physical artworks by Damien Hirst.
The NFTs contain high resolution images of the front and back of each of the artworks. The physical works, which are stored in a secure vault somewhere in the UK, have been launched on Palm, hailed as a new environmentally friendly NFT ecosystem connected to the Ethereum blockchain.
Many of these artworks will be seen for the first time. On October 14, the first public entry day of Frieze London, The Currency Exchange Period begins: a ten-month window in which purchasers of these NFTs may decide to keep either the digital NFT or the physical artwork. Whichever they choose, the other gets burned.
LG says this collaboration represents a major new commitment to the arts.
Frieze London runs October 13 – 17, and is staged in London’s Regent’s park.
