Summary

Picasso, Dalì and Banksy as NFTs: 10101.art wants to make art accessible to everyone

On April 15, at the Monada Gallery of the Ritz-Carlton in Dubai, there will be the launch of 10101.artthe new project that aims to make the art market much more accessible to everyone, blending digital and physical experiences.

For the occasion, in fact, visitors will be able to see famous works by Picasso, Dalì and Banksy and own pieces by Warhol and Banksy as part of an exclusive NFT presale event.

Specifically, works such as “Portrait of Dora Maar” from Picasso’s Portrait Collection, “Man tree with skinned heart” by Salvador Dalì, and Banksy’s paintings “Turf War” and “Choose Your Weapon” will be exhibited, just to name a few.

Picasso, Dalì and Banksy as NFTs: 10101.art leverages blockchain technology

10101.art leverages blockchain technology and legal frameworks to establish a collective ownership system for valuable artworks such as those by Picasso, Dalì, and Banksy.

Through blockchain technology, in fact, 10101.art facilitates the collective ownership of iconic paintings by famous artists. This new innovative approach allows individuals to own shares of original works of art that would otherwise be out of their reach in the traditional market.

In this way, the platform sees the opportunity to increase accessibility and participation in the art market, something that has often been limited in the past. In honor of the launch, therefore, visitors will be able to own pieces by Warhol and Banksy, as part of an exclusive presale event NFT.

On this matter, Alina Krot, CEO of 10101.art, stated the following:

“We believe that the time has come for a more welcoming approach to art ownership. 10101.art uses technology and collaboration to create a richer experience for everyone. This event marks a significant step in this journey and we would love for all industry leaders and art enthusiasts to join us in shaping the future of art collecting.”

Banksy’s debut of “Turf War” in NFT format

In late November 2023, 10101.art had already debuted with the launch of the famous artwork “Turf War” by Banksy, in NFT format.

Basically, anyone who wanted to purchase the NFTs would have become a co-owner of the original artwork.

On that occasion, the presale phase scheduled for November 27, saw a limited number of NFTs at a discounted price of 40%, that is $60. 

The main sale of Banksy’s “Turf War” in NFT format would have seen the remaining pieces available for $100.

Deploying smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain

First of all, one or more developers must obviously create the smart contract by writing the appropriate lines of code, and then they must send it to the Ethereum network.

In technical terms, publishing it on the Ethereum blockchain means making all the nodes in the network receive and execute it. Once published, all instructions in it will always be executed by all nodes in exactly the same way.

Therefore, not only its publication but also the execution of instructions is irreversible once it is published on the blockchain.

Therefore, what really matters are the instructions it contains – which can be the most diverse – and how many people use it. Indeed, in order for the instructions of a smart contract to actually be executed, there must be one or more transactions that invoke them.

It is also worth remembering that these instructions generally involve the use of resources, such as data or tokens, so for them to actually be executed, all the conditions set as necessary must be met. 

Sometimes this data comes from outside, thanks to so-called oracles, while sometimes it simply comes from transactions on the blockchain.

Usually, the transaction that triggers the execution of the instructions contained in a smart contract involves the payment of a fee in ETH, and in many cases in order to actually trigger the execution also involves the payment or sending of tokens specific to the smart contract itself, or other smart contracts.

Technically, smart contracts are a type of account on the Ethereum blockchain, “controlled” by the network rather than a central entity. They can store ETH or tokens, and can also send transactions on the network autonomously.

A contract in the Solidity language would be like a kind of union of a code (the functions) and data (its state) located at a specific address on the Ethereum blockchain. Each contract contains declarations of state variables, functions, function modifiers, data structures and events.

The MiCA regulation, which came into force with the aim of uniformly regulating the cryptocurrency sector within the European Union, imposes new conditions that particularly concern:

  • – The mandatory authorization of crypto service providers
  • – The transparency of whitepapers
  • – The reserve requirement for stablecoin issuers
  • – Surveillance on systemic risks

One of the main impacts is precisely on stablecoins, like USDT, which will have to demonstrate that they have solid, transparent, and accessible reserve assets.

The platforms that wish to maintain the trading of these tokens within the European market will need to ensure that the assets are fully compliant.
