A French street artist has just made what he claims to be a world first sale of a tokenised wall mural. Pascal Boyart specialises in crypto asset-inspired pieces of street art.<\/p>\n
The portion of the overall piece cost the buyer 25 Ether (ETH). The second part of the mural is still listed as available for sale.<\/p>\n
NewsBTC has reported on the cryptocurrency-influenced\u00a0 street artist, Pascal Boyart, on a number of previous occasions. The Parisian painter has been experimenting with monetising<\/a> his work in different ways outside of the traditional art gallery.<\/p>\n His murals have started to feature public addresses for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency addresses. The idea being that passers by could tip artists that they liked. Evidently, one fan of Boyart really liked one of his Paris murals. He discovered that someone donated an entire Bitcoin, worth $4,000 at the time (~$10,000 today) earlier this year.<\/p>\n Boyart’s exploration of the monetisation of artwork has continued since. His latest idea involves tokenising ownership of pieces of street art and using a blockchain to verify the legitimacy of any claims to that ownership.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udf0d\ud83e\udd47 World 1st #StreetArt<\/a> Digital Collectible just sold 25 ETH to @alistairmilne<\/a> on @opensea<\/a>!<\/p>\n A crazy day for all street artist and ephemeral art, you can monetize your work without art dealers and galeries!<\/p>\n The unique 2nd part is still available: https:\/\/t.co\/GbllTwHLTp<\/a> #NFT<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/kl7DHdcQcP<\/a><\/p>\n — Pascal Boyart \ud83c\udfa8 (@pascalboyart) August 26, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
