I think of Andy Warhol, who became famous silkscreening Campbells Soup can labels. Often it wasn’t even him making the prints, but his assistants in his “factory”. Should a Warhol be worth more than an identical silkscreen you could buy in the gift shop? Regardless of how you feel about that, I have a hard time seeing a big difference between that and an NFT.
- browningstreet 6y agoIf you ever have the chance to see a Warhol retrospective in a museum, I highly recommend it.
- gdubs 6y agoI’ve seen a few! And I second that. My comment above only scratches the surface of Warhol. Some of his work would be classified more as paintings, some as happenings or installations, some as films. In this narrow context of NFTs — I think it’s something he would have been fascinating by. The idea of reproduction, ownership, value, business as art, etc.
