NFT CENSORS ART Edition, 2021

Edition of 300

RF2021.75

On May 13th, 2021, the NFT platform Rarible removed my verification badge without explanation, which will make my artist page and artworks not searchable on the platform.

If they want to censor contemporary art, then I will make more art to shine light on this situation.

If the NFT art community wants to grow, we need a decentralized platform for all art to thrive and understanding of art history rather than just pointing fingers and accusing things one may not understand or know.

If you have enjoyed my art, thank you, and glad to have you on this journey and just know institutional placements have happened, and more art institutions are recognizing the importance of my dialogue between the fine art world and the NFT world.

And if you can share the following links on your social media to those in the NFT world with not much art history knowledge compiled by my art world friends, that will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

No future releases, collectors may be asked to loan NFT artworks to physical contemporary art museums for exhibitions in the future.
