-
- Documentary
In this issue, we interview the team from Hefty Art. We talk about their ambitious plans to disrupt the Indian and Asian art markets with NFTs. They are launching a new curated art platform that combines digital and physical ("phygital") art.
To kick off the project, they have a high-end art offering right away. Together with the reputable auction house Sotheby's, they are auctioning the masterpiece "Fury" by the artist Maqbool Fida Husain.
Maqbul Fida Husain was an Indian painter, graphic artist, photographer and filmmaker. He was one of the most renowned and internationally recognised Indian painters of the 20th century. His works are painted in a modified cubist style. Of course, we wondered together about the vibrant artwork of "Fury" and reflected on its impact.
