Invest in a unique digital object
The Van Gogh Sites Foundation started issuing NFTs in Hong Kong at the end of the third quarter 2022. NFT stands for Non Fungible Token. An NFT is a certificate that gives the buyer ownership of a unique digital object.
NFTs are often used for digital art. The object's digital code is stored in a blockchain and the NFT is traded. The NFTs are an initiative of Appreciator.io, Van Gogh Brabant and Tomas Concept + Creation.
The new NFTs are linked to Brabant's Van Gogh Monuments. They raise awareness of the heritage in Asia and provide a new source of funding for its preservation. Developers have created unique digital content at a selection of Van Gogh Monuments based on a tree leaf of the site. The leaf represents Vincent's native soil and is a sign of his short artistic life and the influences of nature that would stay with him throughout his career.
The special feature of this NFT is that the tree leaf is digitized and then sold in a limited edition as a 3D printed version. A small documentary will be made of the entire making process for each location.
Fine NFTs are offered on appriciator.io. With the purchase, the buyer becomes a certificate holder of a share of the Van Gogh Sites NV that invests in Van Gogh heritage in Brabant!
The NFTs are released in different editions, ranging in price from amounts around $750 USD to $10,000 USD. The deluxe edition combines the digital object with a 3D printed sheet in a special presentation.
Conceived by Emily Cheung, CEO of Appreciator.io, the Fine NFT originated from a Chinese-European culture program aimed at acquaintance and exchange. The Fine NFT reaches a young Asian audience for whom European cultural heritage normally remains outside the focus area.
Appreciator.io (Shanghai) developed "Fine NFT's Van Gogh Monuments" together with Tomas Concept + Creation ('s-Hertogenbosch) and the Van Gogh Sites Foundation (Oisterwijk). After launching in Asia, Fine NFTs will also be introduced in Europe and the United States.
