Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 24, 2023 20:14:40 GMT 1, Pwoar - a fair few of those are stinkers... Will be interesting to see how secondary pans out and what value people put on the differing aesthetics, even just in the realm of NFTs...
I did think that a couple looked very good though.
It’s a fascinating project and guess the most important thing is that the person who made them likes them and it doesn’t matter what us art collectors think.

Glad someone else said what I was thinking (about stinking). Could you imagine how worse they would be if 1m big, so luckily only an NFT. I did think that a couple looked very good though.

Seeing them all together like this, the pieces with fewer colours seem to work best. Maybe the safest bet would have been the Black and White which is basically Hirsts own design. |

On Opensea you can filter by different criteria. Seems like the NFT folk like using a lot of colours (which might explain why a lot look OTT). |

Gus made the nicest one I saw, pink and black or pink and dark grey, I can't quite remember... the simpler ones are much easier to 'visually digest'... |

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by its all about me on Apr 25, 2023 10:08:38 GMT 1, There's a physical one up for sale on e-bay already. Hideous. But presumably the flipper liked it. It's strange how people's taste varies, isn't it.

I've used the platform and the algorithm as a stress reliever in the most disparate moments!... I have to say that it somehow worked!... Damien should do these experiments more often! :-))) |

I wondered if it was pulled because of the description. They say it's a Giclee print but then also say..."Hirst creates these pieces by pouring pigments onto the canvas as it spins..." er...I don't think so.

Heni said it would take several months to produce the physicals. I doubt that one was real

'Editions closed end of April and the piece will be dispatched within 6 months latest. Secure your piece early.'

Some of them okay, maybe even nice, but surrounded by all the others just lead to a meh feeling.
Hope mine looks good on the wall, but not massively confident tbh.

Squares and blurs are immediately out for me. I went with a Comet, which strangely weren't popular with the NFT community but I felt they were truest to the originals.

opensea.io/collection/the-beautiful-paintings/activity
Admittedly not a huge number listed for sale but only 1 NFT sold since they were minted and sold for less than mint price (1 ETH = £1500)

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by robo on May 4, 2023 21:50:26 GMT 1, The fact that the seller “designed” the piece makes these less attractive on the secondary whether physical or digital. But the idea of buying a £2k NFT of someone else’s piece for anything more than the £2k they just paid for it seems unlikely, for the foreseeable future at least.

Also NFT's can be used for Contractual purchases in the future, think of concert tickets that could be sold and transferred without Stubhub or Ticketmaster Fees.
I genuinely still have no idea what an NFT is Currently: NFT is a jpeg picture or a gif. You don't own the copyright to it, but you own that specific code for the Jpeg or Gif. I'm sure I got that wrong. Anyways, someday in the near distant future I imagine NFT's will have value. Maybe exclusive 3D Concerts, something like owning the only copy of the Tupac 3D Hologram from Coachella that nobody else can watch .That's how I would explain it. Also NFT's can be used for Contractual purchases in the future, think of concert tickets that could be sold and transferred without Stubhub or Ticketmaster Fees. |
