NADA New York Dealers Are Catering to Collectors Who Want Both NFTs and Traditional Media
At first glance, Denny Dimin’s booth with works by Jeremy Couillard and Stephen Thorpe looks like it may have some kind of NFT component, due to its abundance of screens. But you know what happens when you assume.
“We thought of it as a counter to the NFT world,” Robert Dimin said of the gallery’s presentation, which included a video game by Couillar with paintings of old-school video game consoles by Thorpe.
“We like the interactiveness, where people get to actually physically touch and engage with the art world,” Dimin added.
If you buy Couillard’s piece, called Fuzz Dungeon, for $14,000, it comes with the physical computer that the artist built and specifically programmed. “It’s really designed as an object in the way that sculptors and painters think about objecthood,” Dimin said.
As of day one, the games had not yet sold, but two of Thorpe’s paintings had for $20,000 each.
