A group of “digital provocateurs” made headlines with their plan to auction off an NFT of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work on paper Free Comb with Pagoda (1986) on Opensea—and to give the winning bidder the option to destroy the original. It didn’t take long for the artist’s estate to intervene. The estate said the seller does not own the license or rights to the work, prompting it to be withdrawn. (The Art Newspaper)
