Basquiat NFT Removed After Controversy

Free Comb with Pagoda has been pulled from OpenSea after his estate clarified that it will still retain the drawing’s license and rights.
The Basquiat archive’s licensing agent David Stark confirmed to
The Art Newspaper that the Basquiat estate still owns the copyright of the 1986 mixed media work. “No license or rights were conveyed to the seller and the NFT has subsequently been removed from sale,” he said in a statement.
The auction of the NFT was sponsored by DAYstrom which initially shared that the sale will include “all related IP and copyright in perpetuity” and that the highest bidder can “deconstruct” the physical drawing if they choose to — allowing them to have “the NFT as the only remaining form of Basquiat’s work to exist.”

Basquiat NFT removed from auction after artist's estate argues licensing rights

SHARE
The NFT of a drawing by Jean-Michel Basquiat has been withdrawn from auction after the artist’s estate spoke out against the sale.
On Monday, Basquiat’s
Free Comb with Pagoda, a mixed-media work on paper from 1986, was put up for auction on OpenSea, an online marketplace for NFTs (non-fungible tokens), sponsored by a firm called Daystrom.
Bidding was set to start at one
Ethereum, or about $2,500. The winning bid would have given the buyer access to a token of the work, as well as its IP and copyright.
There was another detail about the sale that raised eyebrows – the buyer would then have the option to “deconstruct”, or destroy, the physical work after purchase, with only the NFT remaining.

No, Sickos, You Can't Buy an NFT to Destroy a Basquiat (Today)

A Jean-Michel Basquiat has possibly averted annihilation by NFT. Earlier this week, a seller who only identified themselves as “DAYstrom” attempted to auction an NFT of Basquiat’s 1986 drawing
Free Comb with Pagoda, granting the winner the option to destroy the work so that only the NFT would survive. Whether the whole thing is a genuine sales pitch or ticket scalping or a joke or an artwork plumbing the nihilistic depths of NFTs, DAYstrom made the point: Some people just want to watch the world burn.
The Art Newspaper reports that the Basquiat estate had the piece removed from OpenSea by asserting the estate’s ownership of licensing rights and copyright. In a bizarre release, DAYstrom had advertised not only the conference of the digital token but “all related IP and copyright in perpetuity.” So presumably, the buyer would not receive said work, only the digitised token of the work, and the right to either burn it or make T-shirts.

Jean-Michel Basquiat's estate forbids the sale of controversial NFT

Announced earlier this week, the sale offered Basquiat’s mixed media work
Free Comb with Pagoda (1986) on OpenSea marketplace, with bidding starting at one ethereum (which equates to approximately $2,700).
In a destructive twist, buyers were also offered the chance to have the original artwork “deconstructed” to make the NFT the “only remaining form”. The listing, backed by self-proclaimed “digital provocateurs” Daystrom, claimed the transaction would “memorialise ownership”, also promising “reproduction and IP rights that will be sold to the highest bidder in perpetuity”.
Now, however, Basquiat’s estate has intervened, stopping the sale on the grounds that the seller does not in fact own the license or rights to the artwork. “The estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat owns the copyright in the artwork referenced,” licensing agent David Stark tells

An NFT of a drawing by Jean-Michel Basquiat has been withdrawn from sale on OpenSea after the late artist’s estate confirmed the seller does not own the licence or rights to the work.
David Stark, the licensing agent who deals with Basquiat’s archive, tells
The Art Newspaper: “The estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat owns the copyright in the artwork referenced. No license or rights were conveyed to the seller and the NFT has subsequently been removed from sale.”
The auction of the NFT of the 1986 mixed media work on paper,
Free Comb with Pagoda, was sponsored by the little-known firm Daystrom, which had claimed the transaction would “memorialise ownership” as well as “reproduction and IP rights that will be sold to the highest bidder in perpetuity”.

Art Industry News: Artist Who Gained Fame by Eating Art Basel's Banana Is Now Collaborating With Dole on an NFT + Other News

The Banana Art Prankster Is Teaming Up With Dole on an NFT — The artist David Datuna—you know, the one who ate Maurizio Cattelan’s $120,000 banana at Art Basel in 2019—is collaborating with none other than Dole on an NFT art drop. The works will be auctioned off via Rarible in two weeks to raise raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and to raise awareness about food insecurity in the U.S. (

Basquiat drawing to be auctioned as an NFT—and winning bidder will be given the option to destroy the original

First there was the burned Banksy, now the winning bidder of an NFT of a drawing by Jean-Michel Basquiat will be given the option to destroy the original.
The 1986 mixed media work on paper,
Free Comb with Pagoda, was bought privately in 2015 for an undisclosed sum. It had previously been offered at Heritage Auctions in Texas in 2012 for $80,000-$120,000, but failed to find a home. The work is now being sold on OpenSea marketplace, where bidding starts at one ethereum (the equivalent of around $2,500).
But, in a twist some will view as perverse, the physical drawing will be “deconstructed” on purchase, if the buyer so wishes, leaving the NFT as “the only remaining form” of the Basquiat work, which was authenticated by the late artist’s foundation in 2002.
