They will say "Thats not art, anyone can do that" then link to a photo real painting of a tiger. It is always a photo real painting of a tiger, painted one to one from a photo of a tiger.
The Rijksmuseum Collection is a global initiative by the Global Art Museum, an art initiative that aims to transform grand Old Masters, from the Renaissance to Neoclassicism, into NFTs. Each rare painting in the collection is the ONLY NFT (Non-Fungible Token) in the cryptosphere to represent its namesake in The Rijksmuseum, The Netherlands. All artwork is faithful to their namesakes, right down to the smallest detail envisioned by the artist. Secured by blockchain, all artwork provenance is documented, thus preventing duplication.The artwork can be viewed by anyone around the world (transparency) and can be transferred to anyone around the world and tracked on blockchain (accountability). Every owner of the artwork will be handed a Certificate of Authenticity. Any revenue derived from sales or rental will be shared with the museum. Thus, your purchases will help to support museums financially in today's difficult COVID-19 pandemic era.
OpenSea is absolutely awash with grifters - e..g. the "MarbleCards" outfit https://marble.cards/ , who make "Digital Trading Cards" of websites, so they wrap the URL and get a screencap and call it a "trading card" that people can "collect" - so basically every meme gif on giphy, every interesting wikipedia page, any even semi-popular artists ahs had all their work ripped off and turned into a "digital trading card".poprock wrote:Here’s an example of one of my major concerns about NFT stuff. https://opensea.io/assets/globalartmuseum-rijksmuseum Opensea is a marketplace for buying and selling digital art, certified with NFTs. That page is a collection of works for sale. Clearly labelled as ‘the Rijksmuseum Collection’. Except it’s fuck all to do with the Rijksmuseum. That’s a collection of out-of-copyright great masters, screen grabbed/downloaded from the Rijksmuseum’s website, ‘tokenised’ by some random chancer to claim that they’re ‘unique individual works’ and offered up for sale/auction. So what’s the point? It’s just a grift.

This is a con.
Global Art Museum is just a con artist. They have no links with the museum. They are not sharing any profit with the museum. It’s bullshit.
