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.
