Damien Hirst, British b. 1965- What he will do 3056, The Currency, 2016; unique enamel on handmade paper from an original edition of 10,000, with 5,149 remaining, signed, titled, dated and numbered 3056, 21 x 29.7 cm, (unframed) (ARR) Note: Hirst aimed to challenge the concept of value through money and art, forcing buyers of his NFT project The Currency to decide between owning the physical artwork or the digital token connected to it. The project consisted of 10,000 unique NFTs that were each associated with corresponding artworks the British artist made in 2016. No two colours used in the artworks are the same, and each is stamped by the artist with a microdot and a hologram of Hirst's visage. Hirst announced that his collectors would have to make a choice between the physical artwork and its digital version; asking them, in effect, to vote for which had more lasting value.
