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.

Christieâs is making history on May 14 by offering traditional paintings by female artists with accompanying NFT works by the anonymous digital feminist collective Rewind in a grouping celebrating women entitled
Rewind have made original NFTsâor non-fungible tokensâto accompany five paintings by prominent women of abstract expressionism: Helen Frankenthaler, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Yvonne Thomas, and Lynne Mapp Drexler.
An NFT acts as a one-of-a-kind trading card of sorts. Part of the cryptocurrency Ethereum blockchain, digital files are turned into unique assets that harbour additional information prudent to the accompanying art piece. The NFTs produced by Rewind are individualised to each of the five artworks at the Christieâs auction. Collectors who successfully bid on the paintings will receive their added NFT, acting as a deed of sorts.
