One collection, eight tokens, one recorded sale. The floor of 6 ETH belongs to a painter whose work entered the Museum of Modern Art in 1986 and has been in nine named institutions ever since. These numbers are not a market position — they are the smallest possible NFT presence from a practice of more than fifty years. The nine institutions named in his biography: the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum, among others.

Fifty years of painting for the permanent collection. Eight tokens as the NFT chapter. The ratio between those numbers is the thing worth understanding about this presence — this is not a market debut, it is an annotation in a much longer record.

In his words

The permanent collections, and the door opened in 2021

My art is in the permanent collections of The British Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum, and other museums in the United States and around the world.

One artist on this page. 46 collections in the median wallet we look at.

Every figure above comes from Alfred’s own dataset — sales, volume and owners read off the chain, floors from the marketplaces. On a wallet he goes one step further, to the number that gets buried under a decade of transfers: what you actually paid.

In the wallets we look at, nearly half of what people hold has no purchase price to look up. It arrived as a mint, a swap or a transfer.

Alfred follows each one back through the chain.

Both figures come from one reading: 16 wallets, 3,548 items, Sep 2026.
