Art Collective purposely loses a $20K Andy Warhol drawing.
MSCHF a NY art collective purchased a 1954 drawing by Andy Warhol titled Fairies for $20,000. Taking a page from disruptive artists like Banksy himself, they created 999 copies of the drawing, lost the original in the mix, and are now selling all 1,000 for $250 a pop.
Someone got the original, and nobody will ever know! I’m so curious to see how much the value of these prints increases/decreases.
MSCHF went viral back in March when Nike sued them for a sneaker they made that contained real human blood in collaboration with rapper, Lil Nas X.
This stunt also reminds me of the group that burned an original Banksy and turned it into a NFT.
Hera blends Graffiti, Typography, and Street-Art to create Stunning Mixed Media works.
Hera is an artist with a background in street art who now does various mixed-media works with sweeping, spray-painted marks, chaotic drips and splatters, and snippets of text.
“My affiliation is always with those who create beauty in the darkest of places. Because the gutter feels closer to my creative home than the artist studio. I come from graffiti culture,” says Hera, “I used to be the vulture, the raccoon, the street rat, that rummaged through leftover paint buckets left on the curbs of home renovations, treasuring other people’s trash.”

It seems like Facebook wants to become a big player in the space, and with NFTs and Cryptocurrency on the rise, I can see other companies announcing their focus on the Metaverse too.
The future is now!
