Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the impact of NFTs on the art world, focusing on their rise to prominence since 2021. It highlights significant events, such as the record sale of Beeple's "Everydays: The First 5000 Days," which elevated him to become the third most valuable living artist. The thesis examines the implications of this digital revolution in art, including the displacement of traditional artists like Gerhard Richter from the top ranks, and discusses the broader cultural and economic effects of NFTs on the art market.
