The NFT of a drawing by Jean-Michel Basquiat has been withdrawn from auction after the artist’s estate spoke out against the sale.
On Monday, Basquiat’s
Free Comb with Pagoda, a mixed-media work on paper from 1986, was put up for auction on OpenSea, an online marketplace for NFTs (non-fungible tokens), sponsored by a firm called Daystrom.
Bidding was set to start at one
Ethereum, or about $2,500. The winning bid would have given the buyer access to a token of the work, as well as its IP and copyright.
There was another detail about the sale that raised eyebrows – the buyer would then have the option to “deconstruct”, or destroy, the physical work after purchase, with only the NFT remaining.

The intention of the Economy minister to modify the export promotion program, so that the companies no longer receive money directly for participation in fairs, is a death sentence for the Romanian export, reads a press release of the National Association of Romanian Exporters and Importers (ANEIR).
The Minister (with zero experience in economics and zero experience in public management) invoked some figures from a so-called Control Report of his minions, without listening to the accused party. In the view of the accuser, the Export Promotion Program (which has been operating in different forms since Romania became modern) was allegedly created for the benefit of employers who make tourism on state money and for the enrichment of companies that organize national pavilions at international fairs, maintains the president of ANEIR, Mihai Ionescu.
Agricultural Fairs Rescue Act Pt 1
Tuesday Apr 20th, 2021 I’m Bob Larson. As summer approaches, so does fair season, and a new bill will help preserve agricultural fairs across the country and offset the financial losses brought by the pandemic.
Co-Sponsor, U.S. Representative Dan Newhouse says the Agricultural Fairs Rescue Act will help keep alive a big part of so many lives around the country …
NEWHOUSE … “I’ve been involved with fairs pretty much my whole life, as an exhibitor when I was a kid in 4-H, and then in high school in FFA, and then later on I was able to serve on the Fair Board, of the Central Washington State Fair. I think for a lot of us in rural America fairs are a big part of what we look forward to every summer.”
