The Rossettis

From 6 April to 24 September 2023, the exhibition shows how siblings Christina and Dante Gabriel Rossetti forged a counter-cultural circle in 19th Britain, inspired by new ideas about life, love, sex, society and art. This is the largest exhibition of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s paintings in two decades and the first time all the surviving paintings and major works on paper by his wife Elizabeth (née Siddall) will be seen in public.

Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life

From 20 April to 3 September 2023 early landscapes and flower paintings to celebrated abstract works – including many never before seen in the UK – this exhibition reassesses two pivotal figures in art history. It reveals how their visual language of signs, shapes and colours was rooted in a shared fascination with the natural world and a desire to understand the forces behind life on earth. Although they never met, Af Klint and Mondrian both invented their own languages of abstract art rooted in nature. At the heart of both of their artistic journeys was a shared desire to understand the forces behind life on earth.

Featuring around 250 works, this will be the largest presentation of Hilma af Klint’s work in the UK to date, with highlights including all ten of her monumental paintings from the series “The Ten Largest”, 1907, presented together in the UK for the first time. It will also be the first major UK exhibition in over 25 years to highlight Piet Mondrian’s early work alongside the iconic grid compositions for which he is best known. It will bring together his surprising figurative paintings such as “The Red Cloud”, 1907, and “Evolution”, 1911 as well as early abstract experiments like Composition in colour B 1917, shining a new light on one of the most celebrated modern artists.

Isaac Julien

From 26 April to 20 August 2023, this ambitious solo exhibition reveals the scope of Julien’s pioneering work in film and installation from the early 1980s through to the present day. The exhibition highlights Julien’s critical thinking and the way his work breaks down barriers between different artistic disciplines, drawing from film, dance, photography, music, theatre, painting and sculpture by utilising the themes of desire, history and culture.

It’s the latest acquisition for the billion-dollar company

Unionised workers at the institution in Upper Manhattan have been on strike since 27 March as negotiations over their first contract have stalled

Why on earth would it be said that an NFT like the one above could be worth billions?

The rarer an NFT is, the higher its value will be.

People have often asked “why the above NFT (Objectification) is so famous in NFT circles, and why the price would be so high if it were ever to be sold?”.

The price would be so high because it’s one of the rarest most fascinating and mind blowing paintings of its kind in existence, and because one of the 21st century’s most brilliant abstract artists created the damn thing – yours truly!

That’s why.

There is no question that Art Abstract Expressionism Artist UK is now one of the most famous and most recommended NFT art blogs in the history of NFT Token, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Web3 and the Metaverse itself.

This is why a large majority of the most expensive NFT sales we’ve seen thus far are one-off works.

NFTs are valuable because they provide a unique and verifiable record of ownership of digital assets.

This enables creators to monetize their work while also ensuring its authenticity.

Community, culture, and the potential for future appreciation can all have an impact on the value of NFTs.

NFT rarity refers to how scarce a certain collectible or NFT is depending on certain traits.

These traits include the NFT’s physical features like color, design, and costume, or arbitrary influences such as the artist or project’s reputation or profile.

Rarity is one of the most important factors in NFT valuation.

The rarer an NFT is, the higher its value will be.

Most NFT collectibles are minted and created with a random image generator via Python’s ‘Random’ library which achieves ‘weighted randomness’.

This means that each NFT is procedurally generated with variable traits and more specifically, specified rarities.

At the reveal of most projects, the team updates the metadata and OpenSea refreshes to load the images/attributes for users to view their own token (NFT) they’ve minted.

This process is extremely slow, sometimes taking from a couple of hours to 48 hours for the collection to load onto OpenSea.

Keep in mind, this can be normal and is in no way the team or developer’s fault.

Sometimes the public can access the contract directly if the team has released the verified contract address to snipe valuable traits off the market before they are revealed on OpenSea.
