What is the medium of The Currency physical artwork?
The physical artworks were created in 2016 using one shot enamel paint on handmade paper. The dimensions are 20cm x 30cm and the weight varies for each artwork.
Similar to other forms of currency, anti-counterfeiting measures are employed to ensure authenticity. Each work of The Currency has several measures that safeguard the authenticity, both of the physical artwork and the digital NFT.
The paper is handmade and is cut manually, producing spontaneous imperfections and asymmetries. Each unique artwork is numbered, titled, stamped with the Hirst logo and signed by the artist on the back. Additional authenticity features include a watermark, as well as a microdot and a hologram containing a portrait of the artist.
