CRYPTO ART BEGINS

The first NFT book that tells of the beginning of Crypto Art with 50 of the best artists in the movement.

In the last year, crypto art has overwhelmed the world of digital art and beyond, involving collectors, museums, and auction houses, creating a fully-fledged digital revolution. It is guided by visionary artists who have promoted this unprecedented movement, with new rules, overwhelming dynamics, and innovative ways of using art.

Crypto Art—Begins, published by Rizzoli Italia and New York, is based on an idea and project by The NFT Magazine, the first monthly magazine to be read and collected on the blockchain Ethereum.

The volume tells of this exciting movement through the history and works of 50 crypto artists—including Hackatao, Refik Anadol, Kevin Abosch, Osinachi, Federico Clapis, Giant Swan, and DADA.Art—who contributed to its creation and form a part of it with their NFTs (non-fungible tokens) representing the present and future of this new world.

Andrea Concas is the founder and CEO of the art start-up Art Backers, Art Rights, a platform for the management and certification of works of art. Eleonora Brizi is curator of digital art and crypto art, and the founder of Breezy Art.
