Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by josephwillis123 on Jul 13, 2021 20:49:01 GMT 1, I could be 100% imagining this, but I though when this first was being discussed a few months ago that the physical objects were to be created, but would not be shipped to buyers. They would be held at HENI (or somewhere else).
So NFT + physical object, but you don't get the physical object in person. Again, This could have been a dream I had 50/50.

They might come with the NFT. Will have to wait until tomorrow to find out details.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Poster Bob on Jul 13, 2021 21:04:05 GMT 1, I was totally unaware of that but I strongly doubt that any artist, especially one at his level, would release 10,000 original works into the world. I'd need more time to think about the effect it'd have on a particular segment of his market, but at the moment I can't see it being beneficial.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Pawel on Jul 13, 2021 21:24:34 GMT 1, As I understand it the same way money used to be backed by gold stored by central banks ages ago, these NFTs are backed by the original works stored by Heni. This is called 'Currency' for a reason.
The only difference is that you cannot exchange it for the actual work 
This is better than 99% of all the NFT releases I've seen (this is not saying much as most of them are just terrible bur still). It's actually quite interesting. It could be 8 different images selling as edition of 100 or 200 or whatever we have this.

That is probably the most likely. Given the pieces are from 2016 it could be the left overs from this show? you get a jpeg and the original stays in the heni vault

I don't like Hirst nor NFTs but this concept is really the only interesting one of the many NFTs released, considering the reference to the gold standard. Cool. |

At that point you could just release HirstCoin and forget NFTs. A receipt for an item that exists physically but you cannot interact with physically is just dumb.

Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Horatio Nelson on Jul 13, 2021 22:06:47 GMT 1, This project/exercise does make one ponder about what currency really is and what has intrinsic value etcโฆ. (Although an NFT is not itself any form of currency or even cryptocurrency from what I understand, so itโs a slight conflation between the two concepts by Hirst).
Personally I donโt see the need to pay ยฃ2k to participate in the experiment, but it could get interesting further down the line. But who knows, Heni and elsewhere may ultimately accept these NFTs as tender for other (not NFT) works by Hirst.

Wouldn't make sense for the price, but I expect these to be small pieces based on the amount made i thought the same thing, but based on the size of his signature and the corresponding images i guess the pieces are at least 11 inches wide . @ 11 in wide. that about the size of a fail book cover. |

I once robbed a store at gunpoint, then immediately returned to buy a candybar with their own money. Not the same concept, but boy was that a great day.
