The advent of crypto-art in 2021 has turned my view of art history on its head. Like you, I was surprised when Beeple's work sold for $69 million in 2021. So since then, I have been interested in digital and ultra-contemporary art trends. On the Riviera Fine Art blog, I share with you more and more often my encounters and news on the art market and traditional jewelry as well as on the future of ultra contemporary trends. But the blog is not enough and that is why I propose to go further within the circle of Riviera Fine Art collectors.
The collectors' circle allows us to schedule regular meetings. Indeed, it is necessary to make a point on the current events of sales, exhibitions, conferences and other events related to the web3.
Since April 2021, several virtual works or works by a generation of artists under 40 years of age called "ultra contemporary" are regularly sold for several million dollars. We wonder about these new aesthetic and technological approaches. Should they be placed on an equal footing with physical works? This is the reason why some art critics and traditional art buyers consider that they are not Art.
Thus, in order to better assist you in understanding this complex news, I share with you my experience in the valuation of art and luxury objects for 20 years in the region. From my point of view, the new trends in ultra contemporary art are becoming a new component of the art market investment.
From Monaco to Toulon, I propose a series of conferences, visits and meetings with professionals and artists on the border between traditional and ultra contemporary art until June 2023.
The advent of crypto and NFT art have also highlighted different technologies related to the computer. From artificial intelligence to augmented or virtual reality, digital artists have opened a field of new features that go beyond the framework of art history that we had known until now.
What is generative art, PFP, AI? How to open your wallet? What are the trusted platforms?
In addition, Christie's auction house offers its clients the complete services of a department dedicated to digital art and NFT. On the other hand, the quotation company Artprice has been working for 5 years on the creation of its own metaverse. Here are two institutional companies that are moving into this new "token" or "digital asset" economy.
The "Web3" is very broadly defined. There is a consensus that it defines the future uses related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies in all sectors of the economy. So I think it is an ecosystem to be understood as a whole .
Consequently, NFTart or Cryptoart and digital art represent a wonderful gateway to this multidisciplinary world.
I therefore propose to explore together these new artistic universes, without losing our classical historical chronology and step by step.
Exchange with business leaders, artists and collectors during exclusive conferences each month in Monaco.
More than ever, the art and luxury worlds are moving towards the digital world.
Every month, Cécile Agu, our expert, receives by personal invitation members of the circle of business leaders & web3 enthusiasts for conferences on topics related to blockchain, NFT and digital art.
