ImpressionistNFTs is a platform that makes use of blockchain technology and was created to satisfy the requests of the many fine art collectors looking for an alternative way of trading and collecting fine art which would.
The ImpressionistNFT collection pairs the original and physical Impressionist paintings with a corresponding NFT(non-fungible token), and offers ownership of the collectible in a direct way.
There’s no involvement from auction houses or intermediaries, thanks to the very nature of blockchain technology: the cryptographic protocols facilitating NFT auctions allow for transparent record keeping.
This, in turn, allows buyers and sellers to save on fees and commissions and greatly increase accessibility around the world.
