"The Warhol Foundation Is Auctioning Off the Artist’s Computer-Based Works as NFTs. An Archivist Who Uncovered Them Is Outraged"

Couldn't find the info on the copyright to the works. Stays with his estate or is assigned to whoever owns the NFT at any given moment?

Stays. "It is important to know that you do not receive any intellectual property rights". See: https://www.christies.com/features/nft-101-11654-7.aspx?sc_l...

Warhol, Haring, Pollock – after the NFT art market of contemporary artworks failed, they now go for the safe old modernists?

"Hitting the block" = "Keith Haring’s Never-Before-Seen Computer Drawings Are Hitting the Block as NFTs at a New Christie’s Online Auction"

I can't believe NFTs are still a thing, I thought the bubble rightfully burst months ago?

I guess you get more than the NFTs. Some paper trail, authentication, release of ownership, that kind of thing. And Christie's guarantee.

Don't underestimate the art market. A lot of money in it (still), high expectations, willing artists and owners, and valuations are dependent on the expertise of a rather closed circle of few who are in constant contact with collectors, artists, galleries and other insiders. If they see a chance of making NFTs profitable, they will realise it.

> From September 12–20, Christie’s will host “Keith Haring: Pixel Pioneer,” an online auction of five NFTs of the artist’s Amiga drawings, which have been minted on the Ethereum blockchain.

Your unique chance to own a piece of nothing which will inevitably accrue in value¹.

1: Probably. Possibly. Maybe.
