Christie’s New York is adding a twist to its sale of Abstract Expressionist art by pioneers such as Elaine de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, and Grace Hartigan today.
Winning bidders will have the option to claim the free, unique NFTs that were inspired by the artists, where they hung out during their lifetimes, and how collectors might display their work today. The Hartigan NFT, for example, shows one of the artist’s paintings hanging above patrons at the old New York art bar the Cedar Tavern.
