Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Picture
MTA Member The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), and laCollection.io have launched a collection of non-fungible-tokens (NFTs) of rarely exhibited Impressionist pastels from the MFA’s renowned collection.
 
 The selected pastels—all made between 1860 and 1910 by some of the greatest artists of the 19th century, including Monet and Degas⁠— are available for purchase on "laCollection.io's" digital marketplace now. The proceeds from these sales will support the study, treatment and conservation of two paintings by Edgar Dega in MFA Boston's collection: the double portrait Edmondo & Therese Morbilli, (about 1865) and Degas’s Father Listening to Lorenzo Pagans Playing the Guitar, (1869-72). 
 
Eric Woods, Chief Operating Officer at the MFA, says “The MFA’s seldom-shown French pastels are masterworks, but are often not on display due to their fragility. By minting NFTs of these works by Monet, Degas, Millet and others, we are leveraging new modalities to be able to share our collection more broadly. Additionally, embracing this new technology will serve us well into the future. The funds generated will support the care of paintings from the Impressionist collection, enabling the Museum to continue sharing them with the public for generations to come.” Click the button below to learn more about the museum's conservation initiative.
