Van Gogh NFTs sell for millions as tokens moon again

Data from on-chain aggregator CryptoSlam.io shows that a non-fungible token (NFT) rendition of a painting by Van Gogh has changed hands for $1.3 million. The transaction comes only a day after another Van Gogh-inspired NFT sold for $1.27 million. Auction records reveal that the digitized paintings, number 132, fetched a sum of 35.9999 BTC or $1,313,635, while number 283 was sold for 34.9999 BTC, translating to $1,275.612 on the Bitcoin network. The pieces are some of the many Van Gogh-inspired NFTs in the non-fungible market. In October, Paris’ renowned Musée d’Orsay announced the creation of unique NFTs inspired by van Gogh’s last days. One category offered an immersive augmented reality experience of Van Gogh’s ultimate palette, while the other showcased an exclusive digital art piece by French artist KERU, echoing Van Gogh’s style. The Musée d’Orsay also announced plans to welcome digital artists who employ blockchain in their work to curate collections influenced by the museum’s permanent exhibits starting in 2024.
