    Art Innovation Gallery

    Art Innovation opens the first Digital Art Gallery without a physical location that wants to revolutionize the way of exhibiting works of art.

    NFTs and crypto art are revolutionizing the entire art sector, offering the possibility of reinterpreting and seeing different sectors in a different perspective, including the one considered to be the most traditionalist of art galleries.

    Art Innovation is the first Digital Art Gallery that does not have a physical location, founded by Francesca Boffetti, with the aim of changing the way works of art are exhibited thanks to traveling maxi-LED walls in the main cities of the world.

    Inspired by Banksy’s street art, Art Innovation Gallery will become a HUB to accompany traditional collecting in the digital direction.

    Collectors will be facilitated in their choice of acquisition of works thanks to the selection of artists who believe in the objectives of Art Innovation, according to fundamental criteria such as market solidity, innovation and growth prospects.

    The Exhibitions

    Art Innovation offers a hybrid, physical and virtual experience on the streets of major cities around the world. For the whole week of the next Milan Art Week (as the first stop), dozens of NFTs will be exhibited in Milan.

    The centerpiece of the event are LED walls positioned in the heart of the city that will reproduce the works of crypto artists.


    Each work is accompanied by a QR code that leads viewers to the website where artists can sell their Non-Fungible Tokens.

    Today in the NFT collectibles scene there is a new legendary project that should not be underestimated. 

    This is Cryppo, a collection of 3,777 artificial intelligence generated 3D Cryppo with over 90 unique traits ready for the metaverse. Cryppo is not just a collectible, it is an NFT that will allow through a $ CRYPPO Token system to be part of a global DAO. 

    THE STORY OF CRYPPO

    Cryppo is an adventurous hippo (Hippopotamus cryptonomus) who survived the significant changes in cryptocurrencies and the great eruption of the Nakamoto volcano that occurred in his NFT valley called Cryppo World, which is located in the metaverse of The Nemesis. 

    IL TEAM 

    IThe project is made by The Cryptonomist, in collaboration Art Rights, Phygi.io, Poseidon Group and other companies that have been working in the fintech sector since 2016. The same companies founded “The NFT Magazine”, the first magazine that can be read and collected on Ethereum. 

    THE ROADMAP

    Like any serious NFT collectible project, Cryppo has a thorough and currently ongoing roadmap, and it includes:

    • Upon reaching 25% of Cryppo sold, the first 10 members to purchase Cryppo will get an additional cryppo.
    • With 50% of Cryppo purchased, 20% of each issue of The NFT Magazine will be dedicated, during its pre-sale, exclusively to Cryppo NFT owners.
    • With 75% sales you will have the creation of the Cryppo World metaverse on The Nemesis.
    • Eventually with 100% sales, Cryppo will become a DAO – Decentralized Autonomous Organization – collectively managed by Cryppo holders through $Cryppo Tokens.

    THE FUTURE OF CRYPPO

    In 2022, the surprises are not over! 

    For all Cryppo holders and enthusiasts there are land purchases in Cryppo World, participation in special events with The NFT Magazine, exclusive Cryppo merchandise and apparel.

    The semi-annual gallery report of Art Basel Ubs 2021

    The report presents the latest findings from Arts Economics’ research into the global art market.

    The Mid-2021 Art Basel Ubs Report, written by economist and founder of Arts Economics Clare McAndrew, aims to provide a detailed overview of art market trends through data gathered during a survey of 700 gallery owners operating in 50 different countries and information declared by over 500 wealthy collectors.

    According to the Report, more than half of gallery owners claimed a 51% increase in sales in the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2020. Specifically, galleries with a turnover of €10 million or more performed better, seeing a 21% increase in sales, while mid-range galleries saw a 3% decline.

    Sales on the Asian continent were positive, with gallery owners reporting an average increase of 18%. In Europe, on the other hand, dealers reported an average drop of 7%.

    As far as collectors are concerned, Millennials lead the way with a total spend of $378,000, three times higher than Gen X and Boomers

    Numerous purchases were made by female collectors with a total of $410,000, more than double that of their male counterparts. It was also ascertained that works by women artists in collections are on the rise, representing 42% of the total compared to 39% found in 2020.

    ONLINE MARKETPLACE AND APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES 

    The digital acceleration shows no sign of stopping. Online channels accounted for 33% of total gallery sales, more than double the share recorded in 2019, as art market players invested even more in technology. Specifically, the most profitable digital channels were websites, social media and email, while online viewing rooms only contributed 4%, down from 9% last year.

    As a result, digital art is also a growth area. For collectors, traditional media still accounts for the safe and largest share of spending, at 31%; despite this, digital accounts for a significant 12%, with almost half of respondents saying they plan to purchase digital works in the next 12 months.

    BLOCKCHAIN AND NFT

    It’s no mystery that the Blockchain and NFT universe are attracting more and more art industry professionals. This is confirmed by Clare McAndrew‘s report which, citing data from nonfungible.com, noted that in 2021 Crypto Art sales on the ETH network reached a growth of $1.3 billion. The number of buyers also saw substantial growth: at the end of the second quarter of 2021, it went from just over to 9.10053.198.

    The interest shown has therefore had a positive impact on the market, although doubts remain as to the quality of the NFT placed on the dedicated platforms. For this reason, the report proposes to gallerists and collectors a “quality control and information sorting“, as well as the need to “provide knowledge and expertise and develop long-term relationships“.

    ​​ACNE Takes Lucamaleonte’s Art to Testaccio

    ​​ACNE Takes Lucamaleonte’s Art to Testaccio

    How small businesses in this Roman district ReStart thanks to creativity

    On the occasion of the initiative ReStart, the Roman street artist Lucamaleonte created a mural on one of the entrances of the Testaccio Market. The artwork reinterprets the historical identity of the district telling the story of the “Mountain of Sherds”, while showing what Restart means for the local community according to the owners of the involved businesses.

    Small businesses suffered the most during the pandemic. ACNE, the creative collective of the Deloitte family, decided to support them through art and creativity with the initiative ReStart that is now landing in Rome. After the success of the first edition held in Milan, ACNE decided to take ReStart to Testaccio, a neighborhood of the Capital City, and to collaborate with the well-known street artist Lucamaleonte. He created an 8-panel mural at the entrance of the Testaccio Market, in Via Franklin, 12. 

    “With ReStart we wanted to use the power of creativity to support two categories that have been heavily affected by the pandemic: emerging artists and small businesses. We wanted to build an opportunity of rebirth and restart,” explains Andrea Laurenza, Deloitte Digital and ACNE Leader. “To do so, we have mixed creativity with culture and design to help the Testaccio neighborhood to embark on a path of sustainable revitalization. This project uses art to support the local community and contribute to restarting in different areas: art, culture, inclusion, well-being, and urban regeneration,” adds the spokesman of ACNE Italy.

    The mural dedicated to the neighborhood is inspired by its history. The district was once known as “Monte dei Cocci” (from the Latin mons testaceus, meaning, “mountain made of shards”), since it was built on the numerous layers of shards of over 53 million ancient roman amphorae. The mural wants to put the “shards” back together to create something new: his work will depict an “amphora” (vase), a collage of six different fragments inspired by quotes and inspirations given by local shopkeepers.

    Finally, every shop will receive a print depicting the fragment of the mural dedicated to them. The limited-edition prints will be gifted to the customers of the Testaccio Market from December 16th to 21st. The goal is to encourage the public to “live” the neighbourhood: only supporting the Testaccio Market purchasing in all different shops it will be possible to have the reproduction of the entire mural.

    “The sense of identity and belonging in this neighbourhood of Rome is unique”, says Andrea Laurenza, “with this project by ACNE we want to support local communities, starting from the iconic neighbourhoods where our headquarters are located. We hope that ReStart won’t be an initiative on its own and it will be inspirational for other businesses that share our values and want to support the local communities hosting them. Reason why we consider ReStart an open and shared platform available to everyone who wants to have a social, local, and cultural impact.”

    Pak NFTs record sale for $91.8 million on Nifty Gateway

    Pak sells NFT for $91.8 million on Nifty Gateway: it’s a record

    Pak‘s new project sales set a new record in the NFT market, totaling $91.8 million in revenue on the Nifty Gateway platform.

    The Merge, that’s the name of the NFT project the Pak artist has brought to the Nifty Gateway platform between December 2 and 4, 2021.

    The event introduced an unusual purchase structure, as customers could unlock an exclusive NFT that expanded as more units, called “masses,” were added. 

    28,000 buyers spent a total of $91.8 million to acquire 266,445 total units of NFT. After the sale Pak stated, “This is the largest sale of artwork ever sold publicly. And it didn’t happen at a traditional auction house, it happened on a web3 platform.”

    Courtesy Nifty Gateway

    At the start of the sale, each NFT had a cost of $575, for those who already owned a Pak NFT a pre-sale was available for $299 per token. Every six hours the price increased by $25, with a bonus for those who purchased more NFTs. For every 10 NFTs purchased, one was transferred to your wallet for free.

    The project, as conceived, ensured a built-in mechanism of scarcity Moreover, if all 266,445 units were considered a single work, it would become the most expensive by a living artist, surpassing Jeff Koons’ record with 1986’s Rabbit sold for $91.1 million.

    Pak is no stranger to such experiments in market sales. Last April, in an auction at Sotheby’s, he experimented with the concept of transformative accumulation.

    Buying an NFT called a “Cubewas simply a cube-like NFT, but if a collector bought 6 “Cubes”, they got two NFTs, a “5 Cubes” and “A Cube”, both visually different. There was also a chance to get special edition “Cubes” by tweeting #PakWasHere to as many followers as possible. That project generated $17 million in sales.

    Although a gimmick is involved, The Merge combines art with the social dynamics of NFT spaces, where collectivity is valued despite fierce competition. The elegance of his latest project and its “simplicity”, offers evidence that the NFT scene is maturing, becoming increasingly interested in conceptual work.

    Botto, the million-dollar robot artist

    News from the digital and NFT world – 8 DECEMBER 2021

    Every day Art Rights Magazine selects the best news from the digital art world to stay up to date!

    Botto, the million-dollar robot artist

    After just four weeks of existence, four NFT artworks by Botto, a robot artist, have been auctioned off and purchased for approximately $1 million on the SuperRare marketplace.

    Botto‘s idea took shape thanks to a group of computer engineers and Mario Klingemann, a German artist pioneering the art of Artificial Intelligence, whose works were recently exhibited in London, first at the Barbican Center and then at the Photographers Gallery.

    Scene Precede and Asymmetrical Liberation are two of the works sold by Klingemann, who uses specific algorithms to analyse millions of works of art – starting with the masterpieces of the famous Leonardo da Vinci – and to produce his own.

    Once created, the works are shared with a community of art lovers made up of about 5,000 members, who have the opportunity to choose which of the hundreds of works will be sold at auction.

    All the votes from the community go back to the artificial intelligence that tries to develop a sense of taste. So it looks at the snippets it creates and then tries to determine whether the audience will like it or hate it. And the more information it gets from the community, the more confident it will be in its judgment. What it should do what it shouldn’t do, almost like a child,” said Mario Klingemann

    What will be the next NFT works for sale by Botto?

    Instead, Coldie stated that “The opportunity to collaborate with Snoop has been an amazing experience. Bringing our creative minds together in a fun and experimental way checks all the boxes of what I look for in my artistic practice.
