Collectors had been given a preference to both maintain the NFT or trade it for the actual physical artwork.

In the course of Frieze Week, Hirst will begin the melt away by burning his personal artworks. Adhering to this celebration, the exhibition will stay open up, and artworks will continue to be burned until finally the present closes on 30 Oct 2022.

The Forex Chronicles, a publication outlining the local community activities of the project’s first period, will be introduced for the duration of the exhibition.

The actual physical artworks ended up designed by hand in 2016 employing enamel paint on handmade paper. Each individual artwork is numbered, titled, stamped, and signed by the artist on the again. Added authenticity options on the artwork paper include a watermark, a microdot and a hologram that contains a portrait of the artist. On each individual artwork, no colour is repeated 2 times. The titles were generated by means of the application of equipment finding out to some of the artist’s favorite tune lyrics. Damien Hirst sights The Currency as a operate of art in which people today participate by purchasing, keeping, providing, and exchanging the artworks.
