Ever dreamed of owning a Picasso?

San Francisco, California Feb 21, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Ever dreamed of owning a Picasso, Rembrandt, or Vermeer?  How about a Da Vinci; whose work holds the prestigious honour of being the most expensive ever sold at a staggering $450.3 million. With the advent of the Digital Age; owning a priceless collectible is not as far removed from the mere mortals' imagination as one might think.  

Welcome to the world of crypto-art and digital assets (also known as non-fungible tokens).  Here, we try to synthesize this emerging field in layman's terms.  

What on earth is fungibility?

'Fungible' is a financial term that refers to the interchangeability of assets. A one-dollar coin can be converted into one hundred 1-cent pieces or a sliver of Bitcoin. By contrast, a non-fungible asset, or NFT for short, is without comparison. That is; it represents a unique, thus rare and irreplaceable, digital asset distinguished by unique characteristics.

How is anything digital capable of being an asset?

The concept is easy to grasp when talking of real-world assets. It becomes less clear when discussing non-tangible items. Coveted domain names, Instagram and Twitter handle all fall into the category of digital assets that can be traded, bought, and sold. By way of example, www.lasvegas.com sold in 2005 for $90 million, while www.carinsurance.com went under the hammer five years later, for $49.7 million. 

Due to its ability to bring the lucrative collectibles market into the Digital Age, a rare NFT can yield a hefty sum. This next-generation auction experience is not dissimilar to eBay, in which an item can be sold either at auction or for a set price.  The value attached to NFTs, lies, therefore, in their verifiable digital scarcity, combined with their record of digital ownership.

Can't anyone replicate, duplicate or counterfeit an NFT?

The genius of NFT is its ability to verify and authenticate the originality of artwork through having each piece minted. In essence, this means it has been assigned a unique and traceable serial number.  This serial number is uploaded to a permanent repository known as the blockchain.   

Blockchains which are the 'power generators' behind NFTs, eliminate fraud; thereby providing the artwork with cachet while giving art connoisseurs confidence in the veracity of the piece they've bid on or purchased.  

To Summarise...

This novel and exciting dimension in the digital-art space embraces new art-world opportunities. The appeal for both conservative and progressive art connoisseurs is reflected in the solid investments made on one-of-a-kind minted editions with high resale value. 

... This brings us back to Picasso, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. You no longer have to choose between The Masters.  In a recently-released one-of-a-kind creation entitled The Masters - Art Appreciation, the subtle genius of this work depicts seven of the greatest artisans appreciating artworks in a gallery exhibiting -- you guessed it -- art galleries. 

In this 21st century conceptualisation, an abseiling Rembrandt dangles from the ceiling, while Johannes Vermeer, in blazer and jeans, slouches in a chair. In the foreground, Picasso passes by with his head screwed on upside down, while a suited Leonardo Da Vinci sits cross-legged on a bench. To his right, Salvador Dali tries to keep balance on a unicycle, while Hieronymus Bosch rappels up the gallery wall. A denim-clad Vincent Van Gogh sits contemplatively on the floor in ripped jeans.
