Damien Hirst’s innovative and bold vision has made him one of the world’s most commercially successful artists. Hirst has always pushed the boundaries — one of his most famous works features a shark encased in formaldehyde. With his project, The Currency, Hirst brings his unorthodox approach to NFTs. Each of the 10,000 unique NFTs are linked to a physical piece of Hirst’s art. In July 2022, owners must choose whether to trade in their NFT for the corresponding art… or keep the NFT and have the tangible piece destroyed. #HIRST1 is a part of The Currency collection titled “Who’s Really King.”
